Calibrating Your MacBook/MacBook Pro’s Battery

Batteries are an important part of having a portable. Being mobile is one of the reasons you got a portable and it can’t be portable if it can’t run on batteries right? So having a good set of batteries is important.
Calibrating your batteries is important to making sure you get a good amount of […]

MacRumors Buyers Guide

I’ve been thinking about getting a new MacBook Pro. Two things stopped me, I don’t have enough money yet and I was debating whether or not it was a good time to buy. I know it’s time for the MBP to get a speed or spec bump but I’ve been wanting to upgrade. Thank God […]

Old PowerPC Magic

Social Surfing

I don’t know about you, but for the better part of my wireless life I’ve always enjoyed the benefits of a wireless connection coupled with friends to share it with. Nope, I don’t mean an open WiFi network. I’m talking about social WiFi.

Power corrupts

Having really not much to do stuck in morning rush hour traffic, I recently had a vigorous discussion with my brother, a Windows user (but the distinction is irrelevant for the subject we were discussing in this case, so I don’t know why I’m even mentioning it at all) and mobile warrior like me, about […]
