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 [...]

Hello computer enthusiasts. I would like to clarify something that many of you seem to be getting wrong. I’m not sure if it’s due to lack of education, carelessness, or people absorbing the mistakes of others.
“MAC” is an acronym for Media Access Control, colloquially known as a MAC address or Ethernet address. It is the [...]

About a month and a half ago, Kristen and I bought a TomTom ONE GPS. It’s a pretty decent unit, easy to use, and fairly inexpensive (under $175 for refurbished models, about $200 for new). Review at CNet.
We bought a refurbished ONE about a week before our move to northern California, and the unit performed [...]

As most Apple fans know, the iPod touch was announced. For those not familiar, it’s basically an iPhone minus the phone capabilities. It’s cheap, has multi-touch capabilities, WiFi, Safari, email, etc.
Granted, right now I can’t afford one, but I don’t think I’d be buying one anyway due to a recent discovery. It turns out that [...]

Badvertising: Intel Apologizes For “Insensitive” and “Insulting” Ad - Consumerist
I can’t believe someone didn’t spot this earlier. Intel is too big of a corporation to be tempting fate with “edgy” advertising, particularly if it crosses a very obvious line in to bad taste. This isn’t subtle or even clever, it’s just blatant dumbness. The thing [...]

Essentially, this allows a Google Map to be customized with a certain route you want to [...]

Reason #953,493 to not get a Zune. You may end up looking like this guy. He also included a closeup, complete with gross skin. Click for full size (if you’re brave).
Granted, I may be an iPod fanboy, but I don’t have any permanent marks with my love of the device. Furthermore, I think he would [...]

I’ve been using Parallels Desktop for Mac for quite some time now; pretty much since when it was available to purchase. I’ve always loved it’s speed, compatibility, and it’s always been fairly easy to use. When the most recent set of betas came out with support to use a Boot Camp partition as a virtual [...]

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 [...]
