As scheduled, the Macbook I ordered last week showed up today, I’ve officially bought my way into the cool club. With a bit of glee, I opened the box at work and plugged in the shiny white plastic covered notebook that so many swore would make me smile and love mac. After a [...]
For the last few months I have been shopping for a laptop. Knowing that I have rather specific requirements for what I wanted from the hardware and within a certain budget, I’ve been pretty picky. All this, and I told myself I would either wait until service pack 1 of Vista was released [...]

Vista is supposed to offer several new and grand things to the end user, however I have no reason as [...]
So this is a few days late (I’m a Windows user, what do you expect?), but during the 1984 Super Bowl Apple ran their now famous “1984″ commercial which introduces the Macintosh. To be totally honest, this commercial does nothing for me 23 years after the fact, I still don’t know what it or [...]
