Apple Does Away with Apple Discussion Moderators

 

AppleInsider is reporting that Apple has officially got rid of the forum moderators that provided support in the discussion area on the support tab of the Apple website. Seems that paying these people became too much of an expense here now that we’re selling computers faster than ever, or is that just me? [...]

Icon Factory Relaunch

 

So I think that most of you would have already heard about all the stuff that has been going on over at the Icon Factory the last week or so, but I figured that I’d tip everyone off that tomorrow the new site will go live, so I’m excited to see what they have in [...]

Shiira 2 Private Preview

 

Well, I’m known to flip flop between browsers quite frequently, always lured to another by a special feature. My longest affair has been with Safari, but Safari is starting to show it’s age. So, I’ve played with Flock for awhile and have fallen in love with Camino as of late. In this [...]

Playing BINGO at WWDC

 

I ran across this on Digg earlier and just had to share because it strikes me as so funny.

So, as Jobs calls out announcements, he’s actually calling out squares, and then everyone is supposed to [...]

Inside Intel Macs

 

In this episode, I’m taking a look at just what makes Intel Macs different from those that have come before it. To sum it up very briefly, with an Intel Mac you have options to run Windows and other PC related OSes that you didn’t have as a feasible option before. Products such [...]
