Tuesday, March 24, 2009
Usually when I come across an asinine article from an established website, I title it “So and so gets paid to write for <Insert Publication>?’ But I thought I’d spicen things up a bit this time and call a spade a spade. Scott Moritz may very well be a smart guy, but he’s clearly un-qualified […]

Friday, March 13, 2009
A friend of mine recently installed OS X on a XP loaded netbook, and his initial reports are enthusiastically positive. The machine is fast, video chat on iChat works like a charm, screen sharing is no big deal, and as far as he can tell, he’s basically running a Macintosh machine. And all for under […]

The good folks over at the GadgetGeekBlog came up with some interesting mock-ups of something they call a MacBook Mini.

With Apple set to announce earnings later today, talk of Apple sales suffering due to the increasing popularity of netbooks is rampant.
