You’d think I would have learned my lesson…..sigh…..almost 2 months ago when I upgraded my 17″ PowerBook G4 to Leopard, I ran into problems that turned out to be related to the non-Apple RAM that I’d installed (a year ago I’d upgraded my RAM from the 512MB factory installed to 2GB of memory from Crucial.com). [...]

***NOTE*** - This issue has been happily resolved - please read my followup post here.
Think you’re ready to upgrade to Apple’s newest version of OS X, Leopard? You’ve read all the early adopters’ reviews, tips, and notes, removed any uncompatible applications or utilities (like APE), backed up your system, and chosen your preferred upgrade [...]

The ‘Net’s abuzz today with the two biggest announcements from Apple this week - namely, the price slash on the Apple iPhone (by $200), and of course the impending ability to add custom ringtones to the iPhone.
I’m happy about the second announcement, and not too terribly upset about their ringtone pricing of 99 cents per [...]

It looks like the “Peacock Network” is behaving more like the “Dodo Network”. Maybe NBC now stands for Not Being Clever?
The news outlets are abuzz with reports of the rift between NBC and Apple, which boils down to their disagreement over the pricing of NBC’s content on the iTunes Video Store. NBC [...]

Yes that’s Million as in $25 Million smackeroos.
Okay to understand it helps to read this item from the Globe and Mail online column, but basically the story goes like this:
Young hotshot tech-genius unlocks an Apple iPhone by performing a 2-hour, fairly complex and highly technical hardware and software modification, and is now using it on [...]

Recently a friend gave me a iTunes gift certificate to thank them for some help I gave them with their computer (I have terrific friends!), along with a note suggesting that I use it to buy a movie or two to watch on my new iPhone. So here I was browsing the iTunes Store and I [...]

Okay, this qualifies as a rant, but this article over at PC World by Harry McCracken just chaps my hide…….and not in the way you might be thinking…..
Yes, I am a Mac fan, but I’m more a fan of logic and fairness. So I’m not upset that this guy didn’t like the iPhone (after [...]

I hate them. Interactive Voice Response applications - the ones that answer the phones at all large businesses (and small ones that want to sound large). The older style ones that still allow you to press a digit to get somewhere are not so bad, but the new ones that want [...]

Anyone who knows me knows that I am an avowed Macaholic, but it’s not just blind devotion - there is a reason I love the Mac operating system. I have no frustrations with it. Period. It just works the way it’s supposed to. I don’t run the Windows operating system on [...]

I’m a slow reader. By that I don’t mean that I read the words slowly, I mean that it takes me a while to get around to reading magazines I subscribe to. I only mention this to explain why I’m only just now commenting on an article that appeared in the May [...]

It seems fitting that one of my first posts should be a rant - I’m an opinionated person so you’ll be seeing more rants from me. Probably a lot of them.
Spoiler Alert: This rant may reveal details of last night’s Lost TV Show episode, so if you haven’t seen it yet and don’t [...]
