More Custom Colored Apple Goodness

I remember one of the first times I saw an Apple product with the Colorware treatment. It was on My Super Sweet 16, that classic show on MTV from back in the day, and one of the kids had a yellow MacBook Pro. After doing some research, I found out that it was done by […]

Is the Apple Battery Charger a Big Deal?

July 29, 2010 by Kevin Whipps 1 Comment

I’ve had an on again, off again relationship with rechargeable batteries. Being a photographer, I tend to go through dozens of batteries at a time in my flash, and that can get pretty irritating.

Yesterday, I was called in to do some consulting work with this new company located just north of my parent’s house on the other side of town. When I got there, I noticed a brand new 27-inch iMac box sitting on the floor, next to copies of iWork and Adobe CS5. The first thought I […]

It’s called the Magic Trackpad, and it is, essentially, the same trackpad from a MacBook Pro, just made portable. It’s the […]
