iN STUDIO 5.0 – iPod Speaker
Review

An honorable discharge for the Apple icon on the Command key…
In a tragic turn of events and in an effort to reinvent the Mac bringing it into a vicious circle of conformity, the Apple logo has been relieved of duty as the once proud symbol that graced nearly every Mac keyboard for the better half of 20 years in the form of the Command key.

Internet Basics
This installment of Macspiration is less on instruction and more on explaining. You see, recently, I have had to troubleshoot the internet for several family members. During the process the topic I am about to discuss came up over and over again. Based on those discussions, I figure there are others out there who could benefit from this Macspiration.

Tweak Your .Mac Account
With the .Mac update announced on August 7 I imagine a lot more people will be joining the .Mac service. Hidden in the .Mac website is a page where you can change a lot of your .Mac settings. This includes controlling iDisk space, email preferences, and more. Even if you are an old .Mac member, you might find these tips useful.

TuneStik with remote for iPod
Review
TuneStik with remote for the iPod, offered by DLO, provides the iPod user with a little bit different way of plugging in and turning on. Rather then inserting your iPod into a unit that then plugs into your cigarette lighter, TuneStik instead lets you plug the transmitter into the iPod, place your iPod where you want and using the steering wheel mounted remote control unit, use your iPod without having to take your hands (and eyes) off of the steering wheel and the roadway.
