Atlona DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter AT-DP400 – Review
Craving an Apple Cinema Display but your older Mac does not have Mini DisplayPort? Atlona’s converter box may be what you’re looking for.
iDilemma
Like many others, I was on the fence about the iPad. It seemed to me to be another cool product from the gods of Mount Olympus that I was sure to own one day, but I couldn’t really justify spending the money for a jumbo iPod Touch, or so I thought. And then it hit me…

Hear – Review
Hear is an application for Macs that will dramatically improve the quality of the sound coming from your computer’s speakers. It doesn’t matter whether the sound is music, dialogue from a movie, or an Internet telephone conversation with your friend in Scotland. Even using the default settings in Hear, everything will sound richer and clearer.
PCSync Version 6 – Review
Many people own more than one computer. And when you have more than one computer, you immediately begin to have problems with file synchronization. Files created (or updated) on one machine are not the same any more on the other. Which one is newer? Did I make a change over there? Or what if you moving from a PC to a Mac? How do you move it all?

Data Rescue 3.0 – Review
Unless overwritten with new data, files don’t vanish simply because they’re deleted, and just because a hard drive has been corrupted somehow, it doesn’t mean the data on that disk can’t be recovered. Data Rescue 3 is an application from Prosoft Engineering that performs both these functions via a relatively intuitive, if quirky, interface.
ArtStudio – Review
I have tried a bunch of art apps for the iPod Touch/iPhone. I have even reviewed quite a few. Most recently, I was given the opportunity to try out a new kid on the block called ArtStudio. After playing with ArtStudio (and I mean playing, because it is fun) for many days I have to say this is the best drawing/painting app I have tried for my iPod Touch. It is FANTASTIC! and probably the closest thing to Painter or ArtRage for the Mac desktop.

Interview with Corliss Blakely
I recently reviewed ArtStudio for MyMac. ArtSTudio is a fantastic painting program for your iPhone and iPod Touch. While reviewing the app I discovered Corliss Blakely- a wonderful painter who paints on the iPhone with ArtStudio (among other apps). I contacted her and she agreed to answer a few questions about painting on the iPhone.

BusyCal – Review
BusyCal is the OS X appointment calendar that iCal should be. It is smart, attractive and configurable in ways that iCal is not. Unlike iCal, however, it is not free.

Build a Better Photograph – Book Review
Michael E. Stern is a photographer. He’s also a scientist, business man, and an educator. In this very informative and anecdotal book, Build a Better Photograph, he walks us through what it means to be a professional photographer in the fields of Environmental Portraiture, Product Photography, 3D Scanning, and Compositing Techniques. His personal stories of how he secured certain jobs keeps us on the edge of our seats. As he relates some of his experiences working with clients in the corporate world he discloses some of the pitfalls that photographers can run into when faced with tough assignments and less than cooperative people.
