  • I have the same issue, perhaps even worse. I am an aspiring writer as well as an aspiring photographer -- I currently have a macbook pro 13 that I love, but it's STILL too heavy to carry around every day (I'm such a wuss!) and ironically, I now worr…
  • My iphone was knocked out of my hands on...a subway platform! Luckily my reaction time is quick and I'm not one to stand near the edge, so I retrieved the phone with only a bounce on the floor (no case). One can only wonder what would have happened …
  • That depends...how do you say "hijacked" in Brittish? Just kiddin, no worries from me, and glad to hear you are happy with the new dictionary!
  • I have the 3g and a dying battery, so clearly "4" is 4 me...however I will also post my somewhat obvious observations: 1. Clearly the "4" seems naked in it's name. Sets up a 4G in 364 days, works on verizon 4g network, timed to hit at expiration of…
  • I'm confused about the ipad case situation! When I bought my iphone, I started with a big case that surrounded the phone, then I realized that such a case destroys the sleek design elements Apple worked so hard to implement, so I went with the thinn…
  • Thanks for your advice. I appreciate it. I guess I'll wait and see how good the new MBPs are when they come out. Quote: Why an EXternal drive? Why not replace your current INternal one with one with a (much) greater capacity? That's both cheape…
  • I tend be mostly the type of consumer apple loves (i.e. buy first, figure out where it fits in my life second), so some might take this post with a grain of salt. However, here are my thoughts: 1. Good "first generation" product (anyone who follo…
  • I'm wondering how the new product might fare as an input device, ie for taking notes, light typing/writing. Do you think it could replace the writers journal notebook? It would clearly be light enough and small enough, but as I type this post on an …

  • I went through a similar analysis recently, and just purchased a Panasonic PV-GS300 for around $500.00. It's a bit more pricey but I wanted the 3 CCD's. I might have gone with your selection if I weren't so...well...lazy. I stopped my search at the …
  • Can I use Parallels to: 1. Run basic apps in Windows XP (ie microsoft office) 2. Run basic apps in Windows 2000 3. VPN to my office computer using PC Anywhere 4. Synchronize with Outlook and then somehow synchronize again with OSX applications…

  • I didn't see the humor in your comment until I re-read my post, so I really set myself up for that one! Given how infrequently I actually use the computer outside of home, you may be on to something-- just use my Nano for on-the-go music and my…
