WWDC is upon us. That’s great news for all Macintosh, iPhone and iPod owners, but it can come with a tinge of sadness. After all, we can’t all upgrade to the new hardware that Apple is sure to announce. To cushion the blow, the fine folks at Just Mobile have… Continue Reading »

MagSafe - design over safety?

by Ed Parry on May 26, 2009 at 01:21 PM

When the MagSafe power adapter first appeared with Apple’s laptops, people loved it. Its intuitive use of a magnet to ensure nothing gets ripped and broken if the wire is pulled, was great.

by Kirk Hiner on Apr 27, 2009 at 06:58 AM

I’m fairly certain there was a time when a single laptop bag was enough. But these days, laptops have become light enough that people are willing to carry them places they haven’t before, and they’re common enough to be used in classrooms, kitchens and restaurants. So, you not only need… Continue Reading »

Appletell reviews the Western Flyer laptop bag from Tom Bihn

by Kirk Hiner on Feb 24, 2009 at 08:40 AM

The Western Flyer is a very sharp looking, very sturdy bag that’s built to be upgraded. This is good in that you can basically turn the Western Flyer into whatever you want it to be. It’s bad in that nearly everything is going to cost you extra, and that’s on… Continue Reading »
