Is there an Apple ][ emulator out yet? I remember having a fairly good one installed on my Windows Mobile device. It was actually possible to play Choplifter, which had a tricky joystick control scheme.. Almost certainly it's in the jailbreak…

Poking around in the new 10.6 APIs, I've become more convinced that it will indeed be Mac OS X. Without becoming too technical, in 10.6 Apple has significantly expanded the information that NSEvent is capable of giving: views can now respond to t…

Every time I hear one of the four drives in my Mac Pro thrash during heavy access, and the processes of this uber-powerful machine come to a screeching pause while the clockwork does its work, I think, "time to splurge on an SSD, for the boot/app dr…

Upgrade guides are always helpful, thanks! My issue with Apple's options is not only the pricing, but that they don't go far enough. 500 MB 2.5" SATA drives are common now (especially 5400 rpm models, which is all that Apple offers for its other…

After having started with a 64 GB SSD, and grudgingly buying it with a "is it really worth the money" attitude, I wouldn't get a laptop with anything else now. SSD all the way! I'm seriously drooling over 256 GB of SSD heaven.

The new AirPort Extreme dual broadcast feature is intriguing, and I'm very likely to "re-stocking fee" my three day old AE to get this one, however... Is 5 GHz really a good band to be on, even if fast "n" devices do have it to themselves? Whe…

Hardly the first time this ironic twist has happened: it was revealed back in the day that the Windows 98 logo was designed in Freehand on the Mac. But on the other side... Apple uses Windows Mobile based mobile tills in their stores. Dollars t…

I like the idea of DRM-free music as much as anyone, but I feel bad that the record industry is artificially giving Amazon an advantage by withholding DRM-free music from iTunes. It strikes me as anti-competitive to cause an organization to lose …

I, for one, would like to thank UK customers for NOT buying the iPhone in droves. By setting a slow sales pace, it sends the message that: 1) The high cost of the unit in addition to (and most of all because of) the high cost of a fixed lengt…
