Does Apple value the Mac anymore?

by Adam Fisher-Cox on Feb 4, 2009 at 09:46 PM

It’s clear that Apple’s innovation is focused on mobile devices and that it doesn’t consider its Mac lineup as important to business success anymore.

We can’t find what you’re looking for.” Oh really? Apparently, the update hasn’t done any good, and in some cases caused harm… Continue Reading »

The best thing about attending Macworld Conference and Expo aside from mashed potatoes in martini glasses is discovering something on the show floor that you weren’t expecting.

Sure we miss FireWire, but do we really need it?

by Aaron Kraus on Jan 14, 2009 at 07:07 AM

To preface this article, yes it has been several months since Apple gave us the thumbs-down on FireWire by axing it from the latest round of MacBook updates (it survives on the MacBook Pro, but only in the less popular Firewire 800 form). Much has been said, though little has… Continue Reading »
