  • Well, I got the Tos-Link adapter and I can't believe no one has posted/complained about this yet; the movies are NOT 5.1, but rather standard stereo/Dobly Pro Logic. The picture quality is fine on my 50" HDTV; not DVD-quality, but certainly wa…

  • Here's my take...Remember, you heard it here FIRST... It's clearly 802.11n; Steve went out of his way not to say b/g, and we all know the bandwidth requirements for streaming HD content would require n. Since it's not yet a finalized standard, A…

  • I used a bunch of Macs as a kid, including the pre-Mac Apple II and eventually the Mac. However, I never owned them; they belonged either to my school or my older brother. I continued to touch Macs often through work, though never as my primary …

  • Absolutely, The Airport Express is a 'standard' wireless router, and any device, regardless of who makes it, can connect. I use a 360, PC and more with my Airport Express all the time.

  • Take my approach: I recently accepted a new job heading a Marketing team for a PC-centric software company. When I called to accept, I listed 2 conditions for hire: 1. Vacation - I had time-off already scheduled less than 2 months after my…

  • I also run Parallels on a 17" MacBook Pro with a 20GB virtual HD and Virtue Desktops. Not only is it an amazing machine, but the switch between Mac OS and Windows (nice Flip effect or others) leaves all the Winblows guys in my office drooling. …

  • My Macbook Pro 15" 2.0 just arrived today, and so far so good. I wanted the Black Macbook, but gave in to the 'old' look because of the desire for better graphics. No heat or whine as far as I can tell so far. A little warm in the left hand cor…
