Hewlett Packard released a few new products today, including a touch screen all-in-one called the Spectre One. It looks... well, like something I've seen before. It might, just might look somewhat similar to a computer I've seen before. Maybe. You be the judge. But HP does have that cool touch pad thing to go with it …
The MacBook Air – My Next Mac
I currently use two Macs on a daily basis – a 27" iMac and a 15" MacBook Pro. I use the iMac for gaming, graphics, photography, and heavy development work. I use the MacBook Pro for general internet surfing and writing. My MacBook Pro is almost four years old now, and while it still handles …
Customer Service
I have a third generation iPad and I love it, except for the home button which hasn't quite worked right since I received it. In order get it to work, you have to press really, really hard or hit it in one specific corner. Quitting and switching apps is difficult so I've been using the …
Touch and Type Covers
Microsoft announced its rumored first-party tablet today. It runs Windows 8. The most interesting part to me were the two accessories that Microsoft announced, the Touch Cover and the Type Cover. Both attach magnetically to the tablet (similar to the iPad's Smart Cover), both act as a cover for the tablet when folded over it, …
Images for iBook Profile
One of my goals for the Mac Museum is to provide original content that plays on my strengths. I pour a lot of my writing ability into the profiles that I've posted (that's why they take so long to write), but I haven't had a chance to do the same with the photos. The iBook …

Mac Museum Visual Update!
I've mad some major changes to the way that the Mac Museum part of my website is organized! I've had the museum page up for about 10 months now without any major changes. To be honest, it has been a bit of a struggle to keep up with all of the content that I wanted …
New Additions to the Mac Museum – May 2012
The Mac Museum has been quiet for a couple months after the addition of a PowerBook 540c and some accessories but I've still been busy. In the mean time I've been working on some articles, ruminating on how to present the information in a more interesting and interactive manner, and living my life - planning the …

iOS 6 Wish List
The iOS has come a long way since its introduction in 2007. iOS 1.0 shipped on the original iPhone and while revolutionary in its design and performance it was often criticized for the things it lacked: third party apps, multitasking, copy and paste, MMS, system-wide search, folders on the home screen, a unified inbox in …
They Just Don't Get It: Gizmodo
Apple knows it doesn't have to do any of this. For now. It can put out a minor upgrade every year and sell millions and millions more iPads—so why try? Because trying is what made Apple the most valuable technology company in the world. That's a quote from an article titled What Would It Take …
