I have bought a new laptop every 18-24 months since August 1998 like clockwork. I didn’t notice that my lifecycle for laptops had been so consistent until last year. So, it is no surprise that I am starting to think about replacing my almost 2 year old MacBook Pro.
Luckily for me Apple has recently rolled [...]
There are increasing rumors that the next generation of Apple laptops are going to make more use of Multi-Touch. I think it is only reasonable to speculate that it be called the MacBook Touch.

I have to admit I am excited about both iPhone 2.0 and iPhone 3G.
Those that are not quite as obsessive about mobile technology news may be wondering what the difference between iPhone 2.0 and iPhone 3G are. While they both sound like the new version of the iPhone that is not quite true. iPhone 2.0 [...]
