First Impressions: Apple 13-Inch MacBook

First Impressions: Apple 13-Inch MacBook:
By Dave Nagel

On only two occasions have I rushed out and purchased a Mac on the day of its debut. The first was my dual 2.0 GHz G5. That was a few years back, and that machine is still going strong as a viable creative workstation. The second occasion was yesterday when Apple introduced the new 13-inch MacBooks. This time around, I bought two...

Apple's New iBook. Wow.

What do you get when you put up to 2GHz of pure Intel Core Duo power, an iSight camera, Front Row, iLife '06, and a 13-inch glossy widescreen display into a sleek case? More than you thought possible for less than you thought possible. Meet MacBook, starting at $1099.

A Quick Review of iWeb's Latest Enhancements

I'm quoting a review just posted on "The Unofficial Apple Weblog" Looks like a worthy software update -TG

Review: iWeb's enhancements are exactly what it neededPosted May 15th 2006 9:00PM by David ChartierFiled under: iLife, Software, Internet Tools, ReviewsIn the most recent iLife '06 software update that Damien mentioned, iWeb understandably received the largest bump of new features and bug fixes; after all, it is the latest to arrive at the iLife party. Considering that I've been pretty vocal about my gripes with this otherwise fantastic addition to both iLife and .Mac, you can imagine my enthusiasm for Software Update to work its magic asap.

Church Gives Away iPods


Church gives out free iPod shufflesPosted May 15th 2006 4:30PM by Scott McNultyFiled under: iPod Family, Odds and endsiPods are hot (that's breaking news for ya!). Therefore, when you are trying to woo someone to come to your grand opening, or website, or what have you, it makes sense to give away a few iPods. People like free things, and people like iPods.That's what the Interfaith Unity Church of Mesa, AZ figured out. Every week between now and June 11th they are giving away an iPod shuffle to someone in the congregation. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Apple's "Cube" Store


Heard about Apple's newest store? You can read more about it here.

iWoz

Quoted from Cult of Mac...-TG

Amazon has posted what appears to be the final cover to Steve Wozniak's memoir, I, Woz: How I Invented the Personal Computer and Had Fun Along the Way. I'm interested to read the book, co-written with author and journalist Gina Smith. Woz's love of simple and elegant engineering is still with Apple today. It's quite interesting, in light of Steve Jobs's reported decision not to write a forward to the book, that the title is "iWoz" as opposed to the "I, Woz" initially announced. The lower case "i" aesthetic is so much a part of Jobs' second tenure at Apple, which Woz had no real part in, that some might infer some playful rivalry in this choice. I would never do that, of course. ;) It's marketing, pure and simple.

Apple Wins Legal Battle

Update: Apple Computer has triumphed in its latest court battle with The Beatles' record label, Apple Corps, over the use of its famous logo.The High Court in London on Monday ruled that Apple Computer is not liable for trademark infringement because the use of the Apple logo on its iTunes Music Store was not associated with the music it was selling and thus did not breach a previous settlement between the companies.
