I’m a tech news junkie. I want to know what’s going all the time. One of the first apps I installed on my iPad was NetNewsWire. That is my favorite RSS reader for my Mac and it made sense to use it on the iPad. NetNewsWire syncs my feeds across multiple computers via Google Reader. I can read my ...

It’s been exactly one month since I received my iPad 3G on April 30th.  In the last 31 days the iPad has become my go to device for almost everything.  Each morning, after I prepare for my day, I walk over to my night stand where I lay the iPad before I turn out the lights to sleep.  It’s been charging over night with ...

They learn the one way ...

You’ve seen the ads on TV showing how Windows is susceptible to viruses and hacking and Macs are (supposed) immune. Apple’s marketing machine and Steve Jobs reality distortion field are in ...

I use email quite frequently and the appearance of my email signature is very important to me. It provides more information than just a standard name and email address from the sender.  I also include links to my online social profiles to provide other ways that people can reach me.  For the new year I decided to create a new email signature for ...

When my MobileMe account came up for renewal, I let it expire. I did not need it. I had found cheaper and better alternatives. When Apple’s $99 MobileMe service was released I was quick to register. With MobileMe I could access my mail, contacts, and calendar information in the “cloud” and keep everything in sync across my Macs, my iPod Touch (no ...
