A few weeks ago, a company called Apricorn emailed me about a self-upgrade kit for the iPod. For $269, the kit includes a 240GB Hard Drive, a new 850mAH battery, and the plastic tools needed to crack open and update the iPod.

LittleSnapper – App Review
RealMac’s LittleSnapper iPhone/Touch app is the companion app to the Mac program of the same name. I love the Mac application. It has become my default way to take and organize screenshots on my iMac. When I was presented with the opportunity to review the companion iPhone/Touch app I jumped at it.

Read MoreCorel Painter XI – Review
Almost two years ago (actually almost exactly two years ago) I reviewed Corel Painter X. At the time I ended my review with the following statement: Not all program upgrades are worth the money. Especially when your talking about programs that cost as much as Painter X. I’ve been known to skip versions of programs every now and then. However, Painter X is one of those upgrades that is well worth the investment. That was then, and now Corel is back with Painter XI. Is it worth the price to upgrade this time around? Read on.

LEGO Batman for Mac – Review
For this review, I cheated. I didn’t actually play LEGO Batman on the Mac all the way through. But before you form a mob to throw Apples at me in the nearest Apple Orchard, know that I have actually played this game to 100% completion. A contradiction? Not at all. My family has been playing Lego Batman for months on the Playstation 3. In fact, this is the first video game in years that my wife actually plays when I’m not even in the room. That in itself is a super-rare occasion. But that should also tell you something about both the quality of LEGO Batman and its fun factor.
