What a stupid article. How about when I go to Safari, go to the Google (other search engines are available) box top-right and type a query? The results page I get back has no adverts on it. So much for Google relying on advertising, they can't…

Some great suggestions there, thanks! I hadn't thought about getting another AirPort Express... I've got one already that I use for AirTunes/AirPlay, but I've had it for quite a while and it's the older .11g model. But I'll have to try and see if I …

Thanks for your in-depth reply, sorry for the delay in getting back! It's very tempting to do it properly, but I'm pretty addicted to .11n now ... It used to take hours to backup to the Time Capsule with all the GB that goes through the machine on …

Personally, I'm a little disappointed. Only because I was mainly hoping for a software update, maybe bringing a new App Store paradigm to the Apple TV, starting a whole new market in app/game production based on a TV interface. Hardware-wise, I p…

I don't understand why though... Their previous Bluetooth keyboard (which was horrible to type on) had a numberpad. Surely the number of keys it has makes no difference to its power consumption...

Why are people saying that the 27-inch iMac is designed for Blu Ray? The resolution of the 21.5-inch iMac is 1080p, whereas the 27-inch is way more. But the 16:9 ratio hints at a more HD-based future for Apple, so hopefully Blu Ray will be along …
