EyeCandy iMovie Animated Themes
Review
While the stock themes supplied by Apple with iMovie 6 are great, I knew it would only be a matter of time before an intrepid software developer would jump in with third-party themes. I was right, and Sidicom was one of the first.

Review
Buying a color printer is usually one of the first things a new computer owner will do. It is a natural add-on for any computer user. A computer without a printer is like a television without a remote. And if you are looking to buy your first printer, or replace your existing color printer with something a little more modern, the Lexmark P4350 may be right up your alley, providing you don’t need Intel Mac print drivers.

Timbuktu Pro 8.6
Review
For those unfamiliar with Timbuktu, let me give you the basics. It is remote control software, meaning you use it to either take control of another computer (Mac or PC, but for this review, I’m only looking at the Macintosh version) or you allow someone else to take control of your machine. Sounds simple, and it is. But there is much more to it than that.
Lapvantage Loft
Review
If you need a stand to get your laptop, PowerBook, or MacBook Pro up and off your desktop, look no further than the Lapvantage Loft.
Apple Advertising (GASP) the Mac
It is true: Apple is actually advertising, on television, the benefits of the Macintosh over a Windows PC. Amazing. The ads are clever, entertaining, and informative. Maybe this will be the start of reminding the PC world that, yes, Apple still makes computers, and not just iPods. Check out the ads at this link.

Review
What do you do when you have a video project that calls for, in this case, a selection of spinning and / or motion globes? If you are a 3D animator, you spend hours painstakingly creating, rendering, and outputting your video. If you are like me, however, you don’t have any 3D rendering skills at all. The only option for you and me is to find stock footage you can buy and use in your projects. That’s where VideoAnimation.com comes in.

Review
The TVMini HD is the latest product to come from Miglia, and it’s impressive. If you’re looking to watch over-the-air High Definition (HD) and Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) content on your Mac, with the ability to record, then look no further. The TVMini HD does just that, using the best Mac DVR software out there today, EyeTV.

The Atari 2600 Macintosh
Building the iAtariMac
What is MacMod? An idea and concept that sprung to life in the minds of Tim Robertson and Chad Perry way back in the summer of 2003. The idea? Wouldn’t it be cool if there were a video show online that was like a combination of American Chopper and Junkyard Wars, but about Macs?
