Learn the shortcuts. They make life easier. Please don't act smug or try to convert anyone - just let them see the quality of OS X. Back. Up. Your. Data. Apple made it so easy to do, there is no reason not to.

I visited a reseller to get a look at one of these. Two observations: 1. I really like the new trackpad. I got used to it in a few minutes and found it much more intuitive, although it meant I had to hover my hand while using it. I'm sure it's …

Apple's record of producing untested hardware leads me to suggest getting the warranty. Beyond that, you'll have to look at it based on your situation. Paying $300 more is worth it to me, for example, because I can afford it now, but I cannot gu…

O thank God. I can finally relieve myself of all this needless anxiety. Uncertainty is a bitch. At least I know the economy is collapsing.

There is, to a small degree a physical restriction, in the difficult SIM card slot of the iPhone. But frenchseb, yes, Americans are surprisingly content to be locked into exclusive contracts in perpetuo. There's never been a strong market for pay-a…

I may actually have developed a gangleon cyst on my right middle finger from using the mouse. I liked it ergonomically, actually (I have long fingers), but this makes me seriously question ever buying another high-design implement.
