“Apple TV is syncing with iTun…” That about sums it up. This is the message that comes up on your TV while Apple TV is syncing with iTunes on your PC or Mac, and because the box for the message is just a bit too small, the product name is abbreviated to “iTun…”. Apple TV […]
With all the various battery recalls both for Apple and non-Apple laptops, it sucks to have a defective battery that’s not being recalled. Check this out: coconutBattery is a great little utility that pulls together some battery numbers in a nice UI. In this case it’s telling me that my battery’s maximum charge is 21% […]
Finally, an agreement I can get behind. I wonder if this is a binding contract.
Apple apparently takes crash data seriously. Not only does the Mac offer to send crash data to Apple when bad things happen, but so does the iPod Touch (and, I assume, iPhone). Last time I plugged my iPod Touch into my Mac, iTunes popped up this dialog: Clicking “Show Details” brings up the Console app […]

I ran into a problem installing some software updates on a Mac and thought I’d post the solution here in case anyone else runs into the same problem. I was logged in as one user, and ran Software Update, but didn’t install the updates. I then created a new user account and logged in as […]
This is an addendum to my Airport Extreme Mini Review that I posted a couple of days ago. I’ve been using the Airport Extreme for the weekend, and I’m still happy with it. Backing up the laptop to a USB drive plugged into the Airport Extreme was easy, and although it’s not a documented feature, […]
I’ve been slowly moving in to my new 15″ MacBook Pro, which is slowly becoming my main system at home. It’s got decent video (average FPS in World of Warcraft is over 60, and that’s with options cranked up), good enough for the gaming I still do on the PC (most of it is on […]
