Apple Moves To IntelA bold move towards innovation, or Apple's eventual demise?On every Mac lover's mind these days is what will the future hold for the enjoyment of our computing experience? The day is coming when we will no longer be able to brag about our RISC architecture and Altivec (Velocity Engine) technology. A day is coming that the answer to the question "do these computers run Windows?

Best Of Tiger SpotlightWhen I first heard about Spotlight, I was only slightly impressed; I figured Dashboard would be the coolest new feature of Tiger. Well, I was completely wrong. I failed to realize the implications of Spotlight's complete integration into the operating system. In fact, I still don't think I understand all of the implications of Spotlight's technology. I do believe it will

Tiger, Worth The Upgrade?In a word: DefinitelyWhile Panther took some convincing, Tiger's new features make upgrading a necessity. With over 200 new features, Tiger is the biggest overhaul of Mac OS X ever. While most of them are under-the-hood features, Tiger has more major new features then any other upgrade. Just Spotlight and its integration into the Operating System is worth the $129. Check

What Will The Future Hold? TowersThe G5 towers have to break the 3.0 GHZ mark. Steve Jobs said that it would happen a year after the first towers were released, and now, almost two years later, the G5 Tower maxes out at only 2.5 GHZ. In the more distant future, expect to see dual core technology implemented in the G5 towers, Superdrives that burn at 32x, faster AGP graphics slots, and

iPod Photo and iPod U2 Reviewed iPod Photo With the advent of the iPod photo has come colored screens and a 60GB iPod. Unfortunately the 60GB option is only offered in this new line of iPods. While the ability to store picture and create slide shows seems cool, I'm not sure how useful that is to me personally. The screen is kind of small and the coolness factor seems likely to run out pretty

Mini & 4G Reviewed iPod Mini Compact, cute, and colorful. The mini is perfect for those who don't have a huge music collection, for those who will only use it for music, and for those who don't mind having only a portion of their music with them. One adjective you did not read is costly. Many have criticized Apple for charging too much for the mini, but I disagree. They point that for fifty

It's been over a year since I've published anything on this site. Of course, since no one knows of it's existence, I don't think I've deprived anyone from my sagacious wisdom. I'll be working on some new posts detailing some cool new things that have recently come out from Apple. I'm also thinking of turning this blog into a hints archive, or starting another blog for detailing hints.

Okay, so I have been using Pather for a couple days, and I love it. There are a whole bunch of little things that make this a sweet operating system. While there might not be a need to update the operating system, I definitely want to upgrade mine... In other news, Apple has released a 20inch flat screen iMac...

Mac OS X: PantherIs Apple's newest O.S. worth the upgrade? Along with announcing that Panther (OS X version 10.3) with soon ship on October 24, 2003 at 8 p.m., Apple has included a site that gives the top ten reasons to upgrade. This site really only lists two reasons to upgrade that are not included in OS X version 10.2: Reason #2 is that it is the easiest OS to use, mentioning the feature

Bootable CD WoesOkay, here's the scoop: I'm looking for a bootable CD that boots as fast as the Mac OS X Installation CD does. The reason, I want to run Apple Software Restore from the command line. Boot CD is a nice application that automates creating a bootable CD. The problem is that the CDs are always extremely slow to boot, taking upwards of 10-15 minutes. The Installation CD seems to

I do not have a copy of the preview version, so my responses will be limited to what I've read at Apple's new Panther site (check the archives for other feature reviews) I will also be rating each feature on a scale from 1-10 on whether or not they are worthy of considering

Well, I've decided to try my hand at creating a blog dedicated to reviewing computers and operating systems. The primary focus of this blog will be on Macintosh computers and Operating Systems since they are the best systems available on the market. If you're worried I'm a zealot, I have to admit I probably have a touch of zealousness, but I will be fair in my commentary and point out Apple's
