Ever since Apple’s announcement of their new iPad device, there have been a plethora of critical articles and blog posts about how it’s a device that doesn’t measure up. It doesn’t multitask. It doesn’t let you openly install apps. It doesn’t have a USB port or an SD card slot. It doesn’t even run Flash! [...]

Apple offers more refunds…
Now, this Apple refund has been long overdue:
Additional Apple refund
Steve Jobs’ open letter to iPhone early adopters…
At least Steve Jobs, unlike the vast majority of corporate heads, does a good job of listening:
To all iPhone customers
That’s cool. But I maintain it would have been cooler to wait more than two months before executing such a significant price drop. He says, and this has been mirrored by many other people on the [...]
iFolks were fleeced…
How are you iPhone early adopters feeling today? Don’t worry, I’m not about to rub it in. I know what it’s like to feel fleeced, especially by a company you really like. You buy a favorite DVD title, unaware that the studio is planning a special edition with a newly restored transfer just around the [...]
Apple’s awesome…er, scratch that…pretty good customer service…
So, readers of my blog know I ordered an iMac and a Mac Pro on July 9. A month later, Apple announces a brand-new iMac and a new version of iLife. The new iMac most equivalent to the one I ordered is more powerful (better processor, larger hard drive and better video card) and $260 [...]

Going Mac – first impressions Part 2…
It was great to log into my blog stats last night and see that my first “Going Mac” post garnered so many hits. Apparently, the post was linked by a few Mac sites, and my visitors jumped from about a dozen of my friends and family to several hundred total strangers! :) Anyway, I also got a [...]
Going Mac – first impressions…
I received my first-ever Apple Macintosh computers yesterday, a 20″ iMac and a Mac Pro. As I mentioned in my previous post on why I decided to switch computer platforms (see link above), the iMac is for the wife and kids, and the Mac Pro is for myself. Up until now, we’ve all shared one [...]
The Macs have landed…
I’m checking my Fed Ex tracking numbers, and I see that both Macs have arrived today. Heh, would have been a good day to call in sick. I’ll post all about them after I get home, get them unpacked, and get them up and running…
Switching Sides…
Yes, after 14 years of PC ownership, in the process of shopping for a new machine, I have been persuaded that Apple is the way to go. Just a few years ago, I might have snickered at the idea – Apple was a down-on-its-luck company that was teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, who sported [...]
