Macworld received its first baseline MacBook Air earlier this morning, and has posted initial benchmarks using its in-house Speedmark test suite courtesy of the lab.

And so, after 15 very exciting days, the MacHeist II bundle finally comes to a close. It’s hard to believe but during the peak of the sale, the bundle was selling at an even higher rate then the Nintendo DS! So we’re ecstatic beyond belief with the way it all turned out to [...]

After arriving back from Napier, New Zealand and sorting through a few dozen RSS feeds, I’ve come across a few cool things - one of them is the Macworld Keynote presented in high-definition Quicktime format, directly from Apple.
If you haven’t already watched the keynote, now couldn’t be a better time. In 720P (1280×720) at 30FPS, [...]
Unbelievably thin. Astonishingly slick. Knocking on excessively expensive. The new Apple MacBook Air has turned more than a few heads in different directions since its unveiling on Tuesday morning.
There are things in the MacBook Air that aren’t perfect, and some that aren’t even near acceptable. But these are the trade offs that must be had [...]

Like many other Mac enthusiasts, I purchased the pack immediately after [...]
Waldo asks a few questions regarding a new setup he plans to purchase.
I am in the buying position for a new Mac Pro and a new IiMac 24″. I currently do video editing currently on my iMac G5 with the old Final Cut and i just got the new Final Cut Studio 2 for [...]
Along with continuing answering questions via YouTube more frequently this year, I thought I could use this blog as a platform to help answer these too. Aidan asked:
First question: I have a 20″ iMac and I am planning on getting a 2nd display. I am looking for something that matches size and color. I was [...]
I’m still hard at work finishing up a NZ national computing course, hence the lack of recent blog activity. In the mist of an eventful past few weeks, I’ve sorted a solution to something which has been on my mind for quite some time, a reliable active photo storage system complete with a backup.
The Hardware

Most will remember the recent controversy surrounding the MacHeist 2 lead-up. Thankfully, this is in the past and the MacHeist 2 bundle is now for sale. It’s those two weeks again, the two weeks which were labeled as the week of indie Mac developers by many last year.
This years MacHeist bundle features eleven popular software [...]
I don’t have many resolutions this year, just four. Four simple goals I’d like to follow in the calendar year of 2008. I succeeded with each and every one of last years set goals, I hope I will be just as successful with these four things this year.
Work Hard, Play Harder
Most of 2007 was spent [...]
I feel the tag-line “next generation gamer” is far past its use by date, instead I now prefer the tag “current generation gamer” for those adopting a new console such as the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, or Nintendo Wii.
