TUAW featured an Iron Man sticker mod for the MacBook at Etsy. The sticker cost $16.00 plus shipping (for international orders).
The sticker mod looks real cool but I think it will only fit on a 15-inch MacBook Pro. I’d go for sticker that features Apple, Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs but to avoid being called a [...]

The latest data from market research firm NPD Group shows Apple performing very well in U.S. PC sales for the month of October. The 21.5-inch iMac and 27-inch iMac are in first and third place, respectively, under the desktop category while the low-end 13-inch MacBook Pro took the top spot in notebook sales figures.

Here’s something I’d like to have for my 13″ MacBook Pro and, if I had one, for my iPod touch: skins with designs from Tim Burton’s stories.
The three characters choices are: Stain Boy, The Pin Cushion Queen, and Oyster Boy, which is taken from the book “The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy”.
Unfortunately, these skins are [...]
An Apple Store mistake could provide more evidence to an earlier than expected release of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Macworld reported the error involved the listing of the new Mac Box Set with Snow Leopard as being ready for shipping in 24 hours. However, the item was pulled almost immediately after a call was [...]
After the release of the new MacBook Pros back in June, some customers started complaining about hearing click and beeps from their portables. The problem is specific to MacBook Pros with 7200 rpm hard drives installed. Aside from the strange clicking and beeping, some users were also experiencing slow hard drive access. Several weeks and [...]
One of the sites that I trust* when it comes to hardware reviews gave its wholehearted approval for the new 15″ MacBook Pro when it came to battery life.
There’s no other way to say this. If you care about battery life and portability at all, buy the new MacBook Pro.
AnandTech’s review of the new 15″ [...]

What’s PC World’s fastest Windows Vista notebook?
Dude, it’s the Macbook Pro.
Ah, I love the smell of sweet irony early in the morning.
Apple lately seems to be hell bent in frying their users’ balls (if they have them) with their latest Intel-based portables. They have received complaints about the scalding hot bottoms and tops of the new Macbooks and Macbook Pros. I’ve heard in one podcast that the standard reply of some Apple dealers is that the [...]

It’s almost been a month since I last posted a blog. Been busy with teaching Microbiology. I was also experiencing fatigue but hopefully that’s all been fixed. I do feel much better and more energetic.
For the past few weeks, there had been several newsworthy Apple events. Some of which were:
Macbooks have finally arrived.
Macbook Pros got [...]

I continue to stare at the continuing reviews and developments on issues surrounding the Macbook Pro.
Apple has issued some possible fixes for the whine emitted from some Macbook Pros. The whine might be fixed by resetting either the Power Management Unit or the PRAM and NVRAM.
Jason O’Grady says that the Macbook Pro’s Airport reception is [...]
