Last week, applerecon.com posted the most comprehensive prognostication of a new professional subcompact Apple notebook that I’ve run across yet. If Apple can actually deliver such a product, they should sell like proverbial hotcakes.

Tuesday, January 30 2007 @ 9:34 AM ET | Article Link
by Joe Leo

With Vista's big rollout today, Mac users don't have any reason to get up bright and early to run out and get Microsoft's newest version of Windows. Mac users can yawn and not lose any sleep over it, and in fact, have yawned many times over after the numerous key features in Vista were revealed to be similar to Mac OS X.

by Charles W. Moore

Is your ‘Book ailing? Apple computers and the Mac OS are pretty reliable, but once in a while even Macs can have problems, and when the issue is disk-related, the tool I turn to first (and usually last) is Alsoft’s superb disk diagnostic, maintenance, and repair utility, DiskWarrior. DiskWarrior, AlSoft Inc.’s flagship software product, acclaimed by many (including this writer) to be the hands-down best Mac OS disk maintenance utility, doesn’t get updated very often. The original DiskWarrior for Mac OS Classic, first introduced in 1998, only ever made it to version 2.1. The OS X native version 3 didn’t debut until 2004 (happily, DiskWarrior 2.1 worked just fine on OS X desks, albeit agonizingly slowly, until Apple terminated Classic bootability and directory format changes in OS 10.4 Tiger rendered DiskWarrior 2, and indeed the early versions of DiskWarrior 3 obsolete). Consequently, the release of DiskWarrior 4 only a couple of years after version 3 came on the scene is an extraordinarily fast upgrade turnaround for this product. Read More...
