Apple Gazette Reviews: iFrogz CS40 Headphones

October 22, 2010 by Kevin Whipps Leave a Comment

I received a free care package from iFrogz a while back, and in it was this fancy pair of headphones, the iFrogz CS40s. I’m always on the hunt for good headphones, so I gave these a run for a few weeks to see how they worked. The look is pretty cool, and they fit my […]

New MacBook Air Gets Gutted

October 22, 2010 by Kevin Whipps 1 Comment

I’m a car guy, and I love putting things together and taking them apart. That’s why I love the crew at iFixit. Every time a new Mac model comes out, they splay it out on the table and do an autopsy so that we all can see the goodies inside. In the case of the […]

One Sexy MacBook Pro Case

October 22, 2010 by Kevin Whipps Leave a Comment

I like my MacBook Pro bag – well, I do today, anyways – but I’m always looking for new things. I stumbled across this one the other day and I have to say, it’s sexy. I like it a lot. The name of the object in question is the Shoulder MacBook Sleeve, and it’s made […]

The Mac App Store – Is This A Good Thing?

October 21, 2010 by Kevin Whipps 3 Comments

I wasn’t particularly surprised when I heard about the Mac App Store, but my first reaction wasn’t one of glee. Instead, it was more concern. My father is a software developer for PCs. He’s been doing that for 30+ years now – long enough that he can remember when Apple charged money to develop for […]

iLife ’11 – Must Buy, or Do You Care?

October 21, 2010 by Kevin Whipps Leave a Comment

It’s funny how two people can have completely different reactions to the same thing. I watched the big press event yesterday live, with my wife popping into my home office here and there to check things out. I caught myself dozing off a bit while iLife ’11 was being introduced, mostly because I rarely use […]

The MacBook Air: Lust & Logic

October 21, 2010 by Kevin Whipps Leave a Comment

I’ve talked before about my lust for small computers, particularly the 12-inch PowerBook. That’s why yesterday’s news about the new MacBook Air models was a welcome relief for me. But at the same time, a bit disappointing as well. The specs were just as the rumors pointed out, and that’s a good thing. The SSD […]

Apple Gazette Reviews: iFrogz Envoy

October 20, 2010 by Kevin Whipps Leave a Comment

It seems like very few things in life will make me happy, particularly when it comes to iPad cases. A while back, iFrogz sent me over one of their iPad cases for review (full disclosure: it was free), and now that I’ve spent some time with it, I have to say that I’m pleasantly surprised. […]

The Obligatory Apple Event Speculation Post

October 20, 2010 by Kevin Whipps Leave a Comment

Well, it’s still early but at 10 am PST, Apple has an event called Back to the Mac, which is presumably about OS 10.7. But what else will be announced? As is tradition, I’m going to go out and make a few predictions here, and wildly speculate about what’s going to happen in a few […]

Want a White iPhone 4? Here’s One Option

October 19, 2010 by Kevin Whipps Leave a Comment

Sure, the white iPhone 4 is a bit of a sore subject on the Apple front. After all, it’s October now, and we still don’t have the pale version of everyone’s favorite mobile phone, but there are still a few options to make your black model look a bit lighter. Like this iPhone 4 case […]

AppleTV V.2 Doing Just Fine, Thanks

October 19, 2010 by Kevin Whipps 1 Comment

So how is the new AppleTV selling? Apparently, quite well. MacRumors has the specifics: During today’s earnings conference call, Apple CEO Steve Jobs noted that the company has sold over 250,000 units of the revamped Apple TV that was unveiled at the company’s September 1st media event and began shipping at the very end of September.

No 7-Inch iPad Coming

October 19, 2010 by Kevin Whipps Leave a Comment

Want a 7-inch iPad? I wouldn’t hold your breath. Turns out that Steve isn’t a huge fan of the concept, at least according to what he said on yesterday’s Q4 call. Here’s the quote from MacRumors: Commenting on avalanche of tablets heading to market. Just a handful of credible entrants. Almost all use 7″ screen, […]

iPhone 4 Back Swapping

October 18, 2010 by Kevin Whipps 2 Comments

[Image via Unplggd] I love my iPhone 4, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not cautious with it. I have my case, and I am concerned about what could potentially happen to the glass should something strike the phone the wrong way. But now it looks like there’s another option that isn’t too pricey, and […]

TomTom for iPhone Updates to 1.5

October 18, 2010 by Kevin Whipps Leave a Comment

Last week I penned a review about the TomTom app for the iPhone, detailing my trip to California and how handy the app was (full disclosure: I was given the app for free for review). Anyways, they updated the app to 1.5, and the new features are pretty cool. First off, there’s the higher resolution […]

More MacBook Air Rumors Swirl

October 18, 2010 by Kevin Whipps Leave a Comment

[Image Via MacRumors] Lotta hot gossip going around about the rumored new MacBook Air that’s potentially being announced on Wednesday, including this purported spy shot. Whether or not the rumors are true is really not important to me at this point, but what is interesting is what they’re reportedly doing, and why it makes sense. […]
