Over the holiday weekend, while suffering from a case of eating too much … everything, I decided to pick up Star Trek from iTunes to try out a few different features, then tell you about how they work. After all, not only is Star Trek an excellent movie, but it’s available in HD, with iTunes […]

5 Reasons Why I’m Thankful I’m Using A Mac
Initially, I had a hard time convincing myself to switch to a Mac, ultimately because of the price. For the price of $2000, I could have bought a better specced non-Apple laptop compared to my late 2007 MacBook Pro. But after 2 years of being a Mac user, I can definitely say that it’s worth […]
Moo an IMPULSIVE REVIEW of “Cows in Space” App
“In a failed galactic operation, the cows of earth have ended up floating around in space!” The “Cows in Space” App is free for a limited time! Somehow the U.S. government has accidentally fired and lost all of the earth’s cows; the source of tasty burgers and filet mignon steaks are all encapsulated in oxygen […]
The “50 cent ‘Baby By Me’ sound lab” App Needs to Return to the Lab
The current number nine in the “Top Downloaded” free applications list from the App Store is “50 cent ‘Baby By Me’ sound lab,” and it is the worst thing Apple has ever approved! Though it may appear harmless, or possibly even potentially entertaining to fans of the rap star, 50 cent, there can be no […]
Apple and Your Car
When the iPod was first introduced, it was just another MP3 player in a field of other models. But through iTunes and creative marketing, the iPod took off and the world was changed as we know it. Ever since it became popular, people have been trying to figure out a way to hook their iPod […]
TextExpander
There are a few apps out there that many people consider to be standards for Macs. Quicksilver, Secrets and Growl come to mind, but up until recently, one of them that I was resisting was TextExpander, and mostly because it wasn’t free. But I was working on an article today, and realized that I had […]
Cigarette Smoke Is Bad For Your Mac’s Health
Apparently, second hand smoke is not only bad for your health, it’s also bad for your Apple products, too. There have been reports of Apple warranties becoming void due to the presence of cigarette smoke in their homes. Derek, a Mac User from Jordan Creek, West Des Moines bought his overheating black MacBook to an […]

IMPULSIVE REVIEW of Star Wars “Lightsaber” App
“No Luke…I am your father,” said Darth Vader to the distraught and hysterical Luke Skywalker. How did they get to this point? Well with a bloody good, kick-ass Lightsaber battle, of course! Free from the Apple Store is the Star Wars “Lightsaber” application. Boot up the epic program and pick from Darth Vader, the evil […]
The Power of Voice Control
I was in line for an iPhone 3GS on release day, just as excited about my new purchase as I was about getting Darth Vader on Christmas, 1982. But of all the new features that intrigued me – faster speed, voice memos for interviews and even just getting a black model instead of my white […]
Working with Dropbox
I have a few different Macs in my house/office, and I like to be able to sync documents across the two machines. For example, I have a spreadsheet I use frequently, and it’s nice to have access to it whichever computer I happen to be using. It’s also nice because anyone can get 2 gb […]
What If Apple Lost Against Psystar?
I just read about Apple winning the copyright infringement case about Psystar today. If you are not familiar with the Apple vs Psystar case, Psystar is a corporation that believes in open computers. And with this ideal, they sold non-Apple machines with OS X operating systems for a more affordable price. They are the first […]
IMPULSIVE REVIEW of “Seafood Watch” Application
“I’ll have the…no that fish is poisonous…wait that one is endangered,” said the knowledgeable seafood customer. The waiter was most impressed with the respectful way in which the seafood connoisseur conducted business, and the result was that the customer enjoyed the succulent Caribbean spiny lobster, that had been flown in from Florida. If seafood is […]
