MacBook Pro Storage Limitations

The overall transition from a powerful desktop to a slim portable machine has been very smooth to date. I enjoy portability much more than the added power of the desktop machine, the MacBook Pro is one tool I don’t think I could go without now having used it for a few weeks.
However, there has been [...]

What Really Happened, Sincere Apologies

Malcor. Most of you probably know that name by now. No, Malcor wasn’t real. Malcor wasn’t me. Malcor was created by the guys behind MacHeist. Here’s the story.
The whole idea of Malcor was to lead up into the MacHeist 2 story-line and first mission with a buzz. The guys really wanted to make season two [...]

I’m Feeded Up, Goodbye Non Essential Subscriptions

On the back of an article I read recently via Khoi Vinh’s archives at Subtraction, I’m taking on the much needed task of de-cluttering one of the most important information sources in my daily realm, RSS feeds.
Over the past few months since my last cleanup I’ve accumulated hundreds of new feeds, picking up more and [...]

Desktop Friday: The Forty Fourth

Each and every Friday I post a desktop wallpaper which I have taken personally on travels and outings with my Canon 350D. The wallpaper is sized at a resoultion big enough to be used on a 30 inch Apple Cinema Display, so no-one will miss out.

Uncut Guide To RAM For Macs

I have a constant flow of emails reaching my inbox subjecting RAM on a day-to-day basis. I struggle to keep up with all of these emails/questions, and see the need for a detailed piece on a few of the most frequently asked questions.
Let’s start with a quick explanation of RAM for those who know the [...]

Back To Regular Operation

Yes – I was indeed hacked yesterday. I didn’t expect it to stir up so much conversation in the community. The Digg homepage piece contains over 450 comments, a number which is very rarely achieved on an Apple related Digg piece.
I’d like to quickly thank all the people who have sent me emails offering words [...]

Goodbye Desktop, Hello Portable

For several years I’ve gone by the theory that it’s best to invest as much money as you can into a powerful and reliable desktop machine, while spending any leftover money on a less expensive notebook. This mindset was reinforced by my decision to purchase a Mac Pro earlier this year.
Having my new Santa Rosa [...]

Jumping Ship

To sum it up in one simple sentence, I’ve sold my Mac Pro and am making the move to a much more mobile setup.
A few weeks back I was approached by a company which I can’t reveal just yet about a sponsorship deal for a MacBook Pro. As I’ve been on-the-go and traveling a lot [...]

Supporting Developers

To put it bluntly, I’m rather stunned by a majority of the reaction to the release of Twitterrific 3.0 this morning by The Iconfactory. The two things which are creating controversy include the decision to include ads in the application, and the new registration structure put in place by the Iconfactory team.
The list of recent [...]

Mail

Mail in Leopard was one of the features I was thoroughly looking forward to from day one when Steve and his team stood up on stage an announced it. Due to the fact that I receive so many emails day in day out, it was only normal that I was excited about the forthcoming changes [...]
