Roxio’s Toast began as a simple way to burn optical media, CDs then DVDs; it slowly became the preferred way to do so until Apple built more reliable such functionality into its operating systems. Then, for a number of its iterations, Toast somewhat lost its way; it failed to offer features compelling enough that all but the most demanding (and loyal) users to choose it over Apple’s way of doing things and that of a clutch of decent shareware apps which met most people’s needs.

I really like this portable mouse. You just plug in the nano receiver, turn the switch on, and it’s ready to go. It is rather small but I found it comfortable to use without hand or wrist fatigue. Users with large fingers or hands might find that it is a bit too small. I used it with and without mouse pad and found it made virtually no difference with cursor speed or sensitivity.

Habla Espanola? Never mind. The Gmen talk about some of details of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, Guy praises Macs4u.com for their great service regarding his Mac Pro. They dissect the newly released MacBook Pros and talk a bit about some new 2nd generation device that Apples seems to think is SOOOOO important. Some tablet thing or other.

The field, however, became much more diverse recently.
