Apple “dominates” in customer satisfaction

by Kirk Hiner on Apr 20, 2009 at 12:53 PM

Macworld has reported on a Forrester computer manufacturer customer satisfaction survey released Friday in which, “Apple not only topped the list, it blew away the competition.” The ratings were based on usefulness, ease of use and enjoyability, for all three of which I’d give Apple high marks. And whereas I’m… Continue Reading »

Apple PR responds to Microsoft laptop hunting ads

by Josh Holat on Apr 19, 2009 at 01:35 PM

By now, you’re probably well aware of what I think about the Microsoft laptop hunter ad campaign. The first one was decent, but the second was absolute trash. It’s nice to see that Microsoft is finally fighting back in the ad wars that Apple has initiated, but I think they… Continue Reading »

Think you’ve got a good computer set-up? Think again.

by Kirk Hiner on Apr 7, 2009 at 09:22 AM

The folks over at Ahoys have put together an article called “7 Seriously Enviable Office Desk Setups.” I’m satisfied with my iMac at work and the MacBook at home, but have secretly dreamed of a set-up like a Geoff Downes keyboard arrangement at an Asia concert.

Second Microsoft ad proves to be worse than the first (video)

by Josh Holat on Apr 6, 2009 at 05:24 PM

Microsoft is at it again with another one of their new series of ads attacking Macs for their price, as well as other things. In their first ad with Lauren, she wandered into the “Mac Store” but didn’t end up buying anything because there was no computer for under $1,000.… Continue Reading »

Appletell unboxing: The new Mac Mini

by Jake Gaecke on Mar 9, 2009 at 11:28 PM

Is it just me, or is there something completely different about taking a new piece of Apple hardware from its box and introducing it to the real world? Perhaps the same goes for every box full of $900 worth of stuff. In any event, I thought you might be interested… Continue Reading »

I miss you, Steve Jobs; Apple announcements just aren’t the same

by Jake Gaecke on Mar 9, 2009 at 04:10 PM

When Apple announced their smorgasbord of product refreshes last week, the first thing I did was order a Mac Mini. Okay, that’s just a reflex, but after that was taken care of, I started to think; something is different, and I don’t like it. I’m fairly certain the source of… Continue Reading »

Are we expecting too much from Apple?

by Anthony Parkinson on Mar 9, 2009 at 12:14 PM

I love to follow the rumors and guess at product lines from Apple just as much as anyone. I am proclaiming my fanboyism. I think I just made up a word. A bad one at that. Anyway I think that we have come to expect to much from our beloved… Continue Reading »

Apple quietly slips integrated graphics into the two lower end iMacs

by Adam Fisher-Cox on Mar 5, 2009 at 08:12 AM

iMacs have always been the cheapest way to get a full-powered machine from Apple. Any cheaper, and you have a MacBook with an integrated graphics card, or a Mac mini, with a generally inferior everything. But with this recent Apple desktop update, Apple has evened the playing field at all… Continue Reading »
