Yesterday Valve released six teaser photos of five PC games that look like they’re coming to the Mac: Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, Half-Life, Portal, and Steam. I’ve played Left 4 Dead vigorously, trying to eat up all of the achievements, and I’ve had an interest in trying Half-Life and Portal since I’ve known [...]

I just wanted to share this as I ran across it yesterday.  I never gave much thought to an alternative browser on the iPhone.  Safari’s kind of right there and it just never occurred to me how unhappy I was with it.  But then a few things came to mind.  Things like:

The invitation is for January 27th which is when hopefully we can all expect the announcement of Apple’s newest contraption.  There’s already been some speculation on the [...]

While Apple’s always been big in the education sector, especially with its iTunes U service, the below video from Coursemart shows a whole slew of new possibilities for students that are Apple-savvy.  Everything showcased in the below ‘concept’ video impressed me, from the iCal integration to on-the-fly textbook purchases which makes sense for people like [...]

While rumors persist that Apple will be releasing a tablet-based Mac to join the netbook craze, Engadget has a great article on how to turn a Dell Mini10v into a Snow Leopard netbook.  This used to be a far more convoluted process, but Engadget’s guide seems to have made it much, much easier.  I’m not [...]

Yeah, that’s slightly more negative than my usual hook, but I just can’t help myself.  While I didn’t mind the Mighty Mouse so much, enjoying the click and the scroll-ball on top, this new attempt to re-vitalize the mouse misses the mark on concepts that ought to be a given considering we’ve used a mouse [...]
