Make Music on your Mac – GarageBand Loops – Review
One of the greatest things first-time GarageBand users discover and start playing with is the Loops. Loops are short snippets of music that you can use to beef up your recordings. Need a drum to accompany your guitar playing? Perhaps you want some string instruments at the beginning of your track? GarageBand has hundreds of music loops to use, built right into the program. What more could you need?
Looking ahead to Macworld ’09
Ah, Macworld Expo! Less than three months away. The main event of each year for Apple. The one major event that, almost without fail, Apple either announces or releases a new product. Let’s look back at some of the products first seen at Macworld Expo in this decade.
Thoughts on the new Apple MacBooks (and Pro)
Well, nothing really earth shattering with todays announcements of the new Apple MacBooks and MacBook Pro’s. That being said, let’s take a closer look, ask some questions, and see what we can come up with.
Laplogic G800 Aerogel Extreme
Review
My Macbook Pro gets hot. Too hot to sit in my lap with extended usage. One of the ways to combat this is to use smcFanControl to adjust the speed of the internal fans to help cool the laptop. But even then, I only trust setting the fans so high before I start worrying about damaging the computer. And that’s where the LapLogic G800 with Aerogel comes in.
Remembering Mac writer Rodney O. Lain
Six Years Later
It was six years ago this week that the Mac world lost a prolific Macintosh advocate, and I lost a friend. Rodney Lain, popular writer for Mac sites AppleLinks, The Mac Observer, MacAddict, and our own MyMac.com, died on June 16th, 2002.
The Crazy Day of Tim Robertson
It started out innocently enough. I had taken the family, as I do every year, to the Battle Creek Hot-Air Balloon festival. Each year,

Razer Destructor Professional Gaming Mat
Review
When is a mouse pad not a mouse pad? When it has a case of its own and is more expensive than most Mice. The Destructor from Razer USA is such a mouse pad, but to call it a mouse pad is a little disingenuous.
Stan Flack
Stan Flack, pioneer digital publisher, has passed away. MyMac.com is posting an interview we conducted with Stan from 1999 as a trubute to his friends, family, and fans. He shall be missed.
Read MoreSennheiser HD 650 – Review
$600 headphones. Spending that much money on headphones, for most rational people, would be, well, crazy. But then those people would not be audiophiles. And let’s get something straight right up front: these are NOT headphones you wear connected to an iPod. That would be like putting a Hemi in a Honda Civic.
Periscope – Review
Periscope is an amazingly easy application to use. It’s also amazing how versatile it is. Let’s go over what I wanted to use Periscope for, and why it works for me.
The Impact of iPhone on Gaming
I’ve been thinking about the upcoming iPhone store, the openness of the iPhone software development, and the level playing field those two things bring. Combine that with the three video games that Apple showcased during the iPhone SDK event, and I feel that the iPhone and Apple, Inc. will have a significant impact on gaming.
Mia Reading The Bugaboo Bugs
Review
My four-year-old daughter was very excited the day The Bugaboo Bugs arrived in the mail for review. She loves games, but little did she know this was an educational title. While the product is rated for 5-9 years of age, I had hopes this would help my four-year-old as well.
Harman Kardon Drive + Play 2
Review
The Harman Kardon Drive + Play 2 is the most elegant solution for controlling the iPod (Original, Touch, Classic, and iPhone as well) while driving in a car. With a 3.5″ color screen, this new unit addresses almost every issue with the first generation Drive + Play, and even goes a step beyond. Read Tim’s full review here.
JBL Reference 510 Headphones
Review
Looking for a new pair of on-the-ear headphones with noise canceling? The JBL Reference 510 may be just what you have been looking for. Tim takes a listen and gives his verdict here.
Read MoreiH24D Deluxe Table AM/FM iPod Speaker – Review
There is a place for high-end quality audio. There is also a place for inexpensive audio. Somewhere in the middle there is a sweet spot for most iPod music lovers, and the iHome iH24D Deluxe speaker fits right there.
Ped3 iPhone Stand
Review
What holds your iPhone very safely and rotates 360 degrees? The Ped3. I had meant to do a video review of the Ped3 iPhone rotating stand but this product is too cool that I have to at least get a written review posted for it!
