Sorry, have to agree with the naysayers here. I've been coming to the site every day for years, it's the first Mac site I check. I doubt I will if it stays like this, however, just not easy to read, and very hard on the eyes. Hopefully the f…

So the 'M' in 'AMD Radeon HD 6750M' means it's the mobile version of the chip, correct? How does that compare these days? It used to be that the iMac was mostly if not entirely made up of mobile components, but it seems like they've been sneakin…

If they had black keys, I'd buy one. None of their hardware is white anymore (except the top of the mini), not sure why they think white and silver go together. Blech.

Dammit, the 2.53 MBP I just ordered last week is on the truck set for delivery today. Is the upgrade to 2.66 really worth it? Should I try to trade it in? I think there is a restocking fee or somesuch and I'm not sure it's worth the money. On to…

Well, I couldn't wait any longer and ordered a new 15 inch MBP last week. It is currently listed as in-transit. My reasoning was a) I need a new comp now, and b) there are SO many things that are long overdue for updates already (iMac, Mini, Mac…

I've been running Windows 7 beta (32 bit) on my Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz Blackbook for about a week now without any problems or hitches. If you have an older GMA950 graphics machine, fear not, Windows 7 will work for you. I chose the 32 bit version to b…

Ouch, man. If you still have a Leopard install disk you might be able to boot up from that and run disc utility. I had a similar, but not quite as dire problem where Boot Camp crashed while partitioning, causing me to lose access to 25 gigs of dis…

I am trying to install it with boot camp but I keep getting the error message that says "installer disc cannot be found." I realize this message is a bit OT but man if anybody knows how to get around this, I would be extremely grateful. I'd lik…

I'm not surprised. Georgetown is known for pulling this kind of crap. As someone who lived in DC for nearly 10 years, and walked through Georgetown pretty much every day, I'd have to say this is not Apple being too weird, but Georgetown being upti…

Apple has been moving towards its own venues for new products as of late, and it is somewhat understandable that they'd continue along that vein, announcing products when they are ready. If Jobs gave a keynote in January and didn't announce some …

I was one of the unfortunate owners of a liquid-cooled Dualie G5. It died suddenly and without notice in around (perhaps less) two years of use. The only time I didn't have applecare, too. As such, I can't say I'm excited to read this news. La…

I know you weren't asking me, but I think the G5 Mac Pro case is just way too big. It was designed that big to accommodate the liquid cooling systems for the 1.0 dualies (I had one, it burned out about 2 yrs ago), and now the extra space seems a bi…
