If Santa Claus left a shiny new Apple computer under your tree, read on: Now your Mac came with iLife, and the applications are really cool. iPhoto is great, Garageband is loads of fun and you will get a lot of mileage out of iMovie but there is more free software than what came from Apple. … The odds are after you deck out your new computer with ridiculously expensive extras from the Cash Incinerator, I mean Apple Store, you won’t have the money to pick up an expensive audio editor, so check out Audacity. … Now that we are in the old school world of IRC, you might also be one of those geeks that needs to FTP stuff from time to time.

Last weekend I walked a tightrope. I was probably the most nervous working on a computer I have ever been. I gathered my courage and undertook the most dangerous of all upgrades, the Macbook Pro hard drive replacement.
My Macbook Pro has been suffering with an anemic 120GB Hard Disk for quite some time. Now [...]

I would venture to say that given this site’s general topic of OS Agnostic computing, I know more than most the arguments for and against these two titan operating systems. The arguments against Vista are legendary. I have made no secret of the fact that I started carrying a Macbook Pro in September of last [...]

I recently got the HTC Mogul phone and service from Sprint. I had been using it sporadically as a network device via Bluetooth on the Macbook Pro in OS X 10.5 Leopard but had not tried it tethered in Windows Vista Ultimate in Bootcamp. I decided to try it USB so I wasn’t marrying the [...]

I decided to give Windows Vista Ultimate under OS X 10.5 Leopard’s Bootcamp option one more shot. This also includes integration with VMWare’s Fusion for my particular setup. The machine in question is a relatively new Macbook Pro laptop. It’s got a 2.2Ghz Core 2 Duo processor with 4 GB of Ram and a 120 [...]

After reading this article on Macenstein this evening, I felt compelled to bang out a quick blog to add a little truth to the reality distortion field that is already reaching fever pitch more than 12 hours away from Steve Jobs’ keynote at Macworld tomorrow.
The article’s title "On Macworld Eve: Two more mails in Vista’s [...]

So here we are folks. I have been kicking around in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard for a few days over a month now. I have had plenty of time to form my impressions and thoughts, so I have collected them to share with you. For the scanners out there, the final outcome is I [...]

Today I’ve been using Mac OS X Leopard for 4 weeks on a daily basis. On a PowerMac G5 at work and and on my Macbook Pro at home. And in this article I try to point out some things I probably would have done differently when I was to decide that to put [...]

There has been a lot of buzz about things we like and do not like about Mac OS X Leopard. I posted my top tips recently, and now Wil Harris from Channelflip.com has gotten into the act on his Unwired show to provide you some slick tips and alternate applications to keep your Leopard purring [...]

I responded to a reader comment today, and I thought I would share the mail. I know that there is still all this Mac vs. Windows stuff (Is it just me or is this just like the East Coast vs. West Coast stuff…if only I could figure out which one was Biggie and which one [...]

Being a somewhat new dedicated Mac user, I decided to help myself by doing this research, and then in turn help you by sharing it with you. I will be sure to call out which tweaks work with which versions, and show screen shots where appropriate. The topics I want to cover are:
