Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Professional – Review

David Cohen — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 10:00:00 +0000

Adobe Acrobat 9.0 is the latest version (I was looking at the Professional variant - Standard is also available), and once you fire it up it is clear that Adobe has embraced the challenge of adding value with relish. A clean interface provides a series of drop-down buttons for the Acrobat workflow - starting with creation of new documents, and ending with commenting of existing PDFs.

iPod Nano (4th generation) – Review

Guy Serle — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 09:00:00 +0000

In pictures the new Nano looks much larger than the one it replaces. In real life it simply is much longer and skinnier. Imagine the 3rd Gen. put on a stretch rack and turned sideways. In more ways it resembles the 1st and 2nd generation Nanos than it does its predecessor. Let’s talk about what Apple did to make this Nano better.

MacAlly Air2Net USB Ethernet adapter – Review

David Weeks — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 09:00:00 +0000

Now, MacAlly offers an alternative to Apple's dongle, the MacAlly Air2Net USB Ethernet adapter. As expected, the Air2Net's a dongle that let you connect an RJ-45 Ethernet jack into a USB port, and runs at Ethernet 10/100 speeds
I flogged the Air2Net hooked up to our MacBook AIr for an entire weekend at the Weeks Division of MyMac Labs. How did it do?

In one substantial, affordable volume, readers learn what's what, so they can fully use as many of these fine applications as they want or need to. We also interview John Tollett about the book.

Paris Mac Expo – Unwired

MyMac Administrator — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 02:00:00 +0000

What does a parrot have to do with Apple, Macs and the iPod or iPhone? The colors of the original Apple logotype? Well, I'd say it's more likely the manufacturer's claim of enabling you to "Move Wireless" - they heavily bet on Bluetooth and WiFi, and NFC (Near Field Communication) and more connectivity options are closer than on the horizon.

Paris Mac Expo – What’s this Noise?

MyMac Administrator — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0000

Like on most of the Apple- and Mac-related shows in recent years, audio and video take up a growing proportion of the show floor: professional production hardware and software, service providers and accessories demonstrate that Apple has conquered the desktop A/V market just like it practically invented the DTP industry since 1984
