Seems like your typical Apple speed bump, I would've at least included the 9600M over the 9400M in the starter iMacs, but that's Apple for you. Oddly enough, I do see the updated Mini as a slightly better value, yeah it's suffering a very slight…

I hope Apple can design a better updated case than that, or Apple has just really lost their design mojo, as to me, all their other cases have either been really boring refreshes or just ugly.

I just saw this review on Neowin, regarding a review on the Lenovo S10 (all the netbooks basically use the same Atom N270/GMA 950 configuration, so it applies to other netbooks too). http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/0...d-s10#comments I've …

I have an Acer Aspire One, that I bring into work about everyday, and everyone is just impressed by the size of it, and the cost is right too. People want something that is small and portable and doesn't cost an arm and a leg to boot, other than nee…

I don't think I've ever been in a Apple Store, where I didn't see a lot of people looking at Macs/iPods. The stores are always busy. As for SW, I've had my Mac for a year, but there's just some SW that I can't find equivalents for, but that's ju…

Linux gaining a sizable share of the desktop market is about as likely as Apple's - not very. I have Ubuntu on my netbook, runs just fine, only tweaking was to get the Atheros wifi working, but their is an open source driver available, let the s…

From the video of the Pre on engadget, the OS already looks more fluid than the iPhone's OS, and the browser looks much, much better than Safari, especially when changing orientations. Just too bad the phone will on Sprint, and not a network tha…
