Just like the swallows returning to Capistrano, Jim Heid produces another fine instructional book each time Apple revises its iLife suite. And yet again, he succeeds in assembling what I think is the best instructional book on iLife for the average Mac user. Heid has developed a proven formula, and it works once again with The Macintosh iLife ’09.

The ever falling price of hard drive storage means that we can now own and manage terabytes and terabytes of space if we wish. But the ongoing increase of capacity and fall in price leads to a new problem – if you are anything like me, you will have a shelf littered with external drives, surrounded by a detritus of data cables and multiple “wall wart” power supplies. Mine act like a series of time capsules – the further back in time you go (based on when I bought each one), the smaller they become and the more disparate the type of data we retain.

We would like the user to feel like they are sitting directly in front of the machine they are controlling.

If your preference in protective carrying solutions is a messenger bag over a backpack, then Brenthaven has a smart solution for your consideration.

Having spent many a quarter on the arcade classic BurgerTime back in the 1980’s, and later playing the console version, I can honestly say that it is one of my all-time favorite video games. So imagine my surprise when I saw the announcement online that BurgerTime Deluxe had been released for the Macintosh!

Because you must try before you buy, make sure that wherever you purchase or audition AKG’s earbuds you have sufficient time to determine if the fit is good.

One thing is for sure, Geeks love computers and computer related technologies. Therefore, many if not most Geeks are in to digital cameras in general and DSLRs in particular. When it comes to carrying along these devices in one bag, there are very few choices. Lowepro is one of the big dogs in this space. Their Fastpack 250 was designed to carry along your trusty DSLR and your Mac notebook (well you could probably carry a PC in there too, but this is MyMac.com).

I have never been a Microsoft Word user. In fact, ever since I have owned a Mac I have used Appleworks/Clarisworks or Pages. However, I recently discovered a new kid on the block called “Pagehand.” In fact my last few articles here at MyMac (including this one) have been type in Pagehand.

The first thing that attracted me to the new Macally ECOFAN Bamboo Cooling Stand was that it was made from bamboo. Bamboo is not a wood, but a grass. It has incredible strength, both tensile and hard strength that is, pound for pound, stronger than steel.
