Over the years I’ve seen a number of very lame music videos with people espousing their love for their Mac. None of them really capture the real essence of the Mac anyway. They all come across very hokey, and forced.
This one seems to be an exception. The song itself is not about the Mac at [...]

If you want to use a Mac on your Vizio VX37L 37″ LCD TV with a DVI to HDMI cable you’ll need to use a utility like SwitchResX to enter custom timing and resolution settings. The Vizio normally outputs 1280×720 resolution via HDMI, which looks awful. These settings should map the display just cleanly as [...]

My personal favorite newsreader since I stopped reading feeds in Safari has to be NetNewsWire. For a few years I’ve enjoyed the Lite version of NetNewsWire, which has some features removed from the full version, yet was free.

Having worked at two different Apple Specialists for a total of about 3 and a half years, I have experienced one kind of Apple service. The technicians at both stores were very skilled, wonderful people, always doing their best work for their customers. However, with the problems I have with my MacBook Pro, even if [...]

My MacBook Pro needs to go in for some repairs. It has the processor whine, my right fan’s bearing is going out so it’s really noisy, and my Superdrive will not read burned or blank DVDs.
While my MBP is at the shop, I am going to use my Mac Mini for my full time machine. [...]

So, as I expected, I was a bit off with my Macworld predictions. I think I nailed AppleTV fairly well, getting the name and price pretty much dead on, and only slightly flubbing the networking and the date. I think it’s a nice looking device, but it does have a few things that I’m not [...]

Here’s my Macworld 2007 Predictions. They’re completely out of thin air, and most of them are just what I would think Apple’s natural progression would be, but also including a few hopeful ideas of my own.
