I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. I was eagerly expecting a seamless setup experience. The experience was not seamless. The good news is I have a working system. The bad news is it took a while to get here. I’m writing my experience to help others who may also be setting up a new Mac […]

Strange Safari Color Bug
I’m experiencing a strange Safari 3 bug on Leopard involving color on web pages. It seems that sometimes a page will “lose” its color past a certain point on a page after I scroll down. I can’t pinpoint the cause to any particular page or situation. Have you had this problem? I’ve already reported it […]
Protecting Your Laptop with Undercover 2
Undercover, a theft recovery solution for Macs, has been updated to 2.0 and is free to all existing users.

iPod touch, powered by AT&T
The Apple iPod touch web apps page shows several iPod touches, all with a little AT&T in the upper left corner. No conspiracy here, just amusing. Update: It’s fixed now: iPod is shown instead of AT&T.

The touch would fit […]
No New Calendar Events on iPod Touch?
Apparently you can’t add calendar events on the iPod touch. This makes little sense, and makes even less sense when the ability to add contacts is left intact! (Not that I would like to see that removed also.) The response from Apple seems to be “it’s not a PDA.” Apple, I thought the iPod was […]
Quickly Accessing Related Items in iTunes
You know those little arrow links that appear next to track names and artists in iTunes? Typically, clicking them takes you to the iTunes Store page for that item. What I didn’t know is that Option-clicking them will take you to related items in your music library, a feature I’ve always wanted. The best part: […]
