I really like Agent 18 cases: thin, transparent hard shells. I've got one on a Mini and it's great: doesn't hide its good looks but protects it completely, including the back and the display. I haven't seen their nano case yet, but it's probably thi…

You're being too harsh. "The CE-IV's sleek design stylishly showcases Alienware's alien head logo with glowing eyes" and it has "revolutionary SRS WOW HD technology" and "improved TruBass technology"! Wowzer! I think the Alienware designers shoul…

I'm surprised your aunt hasn't, at some point in her adventure, call AppleCare directly as you had suggested. They would talk her through some basic diagnoses, and perhaps do a warranty exchange. Why pay for premium service and not use it?

I think Google is the corporate embodiment of "Short Attention-Span Theater". Their search technology is awesome. AdSense and AdWords are hugely successful. But many of their other efforts are pathetic. They remind me of last decade, when "analysts"…

How about a smaller, lower-priced Cinema display (17-inch?) so Mini buyers aren't forced to go to at least two stores to buy a fully-functional system at a reasonable price? Not everyone wants, needs, or can afford a 20-inch display on an entry-leve…

I like this quote: "If an aircraft does fly into a tether, in spite of entering the airspace illegally, tethers could be severed, and passengers killed. However, it is expected that the rotorcraft could usually be brought down safely anyway." So,…

Niji raises important points. I think many Windows users who haven't kept current on Apple's product line still think of Macs as candy-colored all-in-ones (or even older machines) running System 8 or 9. Right or wrong, a common perception is that…

You might find something here . Or, more specifically, here .

There is no Mac native version of Access. The only way to run it on the Mac is under Virtual PC (Windows emulation). Virtual PC and Access are both available from Microsoft. Since FileMaker is a cross-platform database, it might be possible to ex…

Think of an extended warranty as a bet. You're betting that your mom's car will need repair during the warranty period; the warranty company is betting that it won't. If you do get the refund after the warranty expires, the warranty company still…

I think the eMac could remain available indefinitely for the education market if Apple chooses to continue offering it. It has several advantages over the new iMac, particularly for the elementary and middle school education market: the eMac is m…

I think the Mac TV (black Mac/Trinitron TV all-in-one) was originally supposed to be the 10th anniversary Mac, but it was never marketed as such (and hardly sold at all).

You can use Disk Utility to create a password-protected encrypted disk image. When the disk image file is double-clicked, it will prompt for the password and then open into a finder-readable folder. One downside is that you have to specify the ma…
