So, recently I bought an Airport Extreme, one of the flashy new 802.11n models that Steve released unannounced at MWSF, and I absolutely love it. 802.11n, for the uninitiated, is a draft spec for wireless that vastly exceeds the current 802.11g standard, in range and bandwidth, and should be finalized… read moreFebruary 16 2007

Ever had to take a Hard Drive out of any of the PowerBooks that have been introduced since they moved into shiny alumnium or titanium shells? Remember the amount of swearing that caused the paint to literally peel from your walls? I sure do. While getting a Hard Drive out of… read moreMay 16 2006
