What does it take to sell your 20GB 4th generation iPod on eBay? A little celebrity. Currently, for over $78 you can own a little piece of movie history: an iPod that (allegedly) belonged to actor Alec Baldwin. How do...

Use iPod to back up...your toilets

Authored by Dan Moren at 1:33 AM
Subcategory | iPod
Don't drop your iPod mini in a toilet, okay? I could see that look in your eyes, like you were considering just letting it drop in. I'm here to tell you that it's not the answer. In fact, I'm thinking...

MacBook: black vs. white

Authored by Scott Silverman at 1:33 AM
Subcategory | Intel Macs
The day Apple released the MacBooks, I remember noting that they came in two colors, and then thought immediately about benchmarks. Would Macworld and its similars be benchmarking both colors? Would there be any difference in performance of equally...

Dvorak deliberately pokes Mac users with stick

Authored by Dan Moren at 1:33 AM
Subcategory | People
So, it turns out the key to handling John Dvorak is a lot like the key to high school bullies or some kinds of bears: ignore them until they go away. In a conversation with noted blogger Dave Winer at...

MacBook goes black and white

Authored by Dan Moren at 1:33 AM
Subcategory | Geekery
So, you've got two MacBooks on your hands: black and white. You've benchmarked them, tested them, even pulled them apart to find out just what makes them tick. Now what? Well, if you're Kodawarisan, you start pulling keys off them...

Gruber investigates the space between

Authored by Dan Moren at 1:33 AM
Subcategory | Huh?
Apple fans are often detailed-oriented people. John Siracusa, for an example, and his critiques of OS X's Finder. Rob "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry" Griffiths of Mac OS X Hints is another good example. And, of course, Daring...

London Cabdriver: Apple v. Apple verdict "a big surprise"

Authored by Dan Moren at 1:33 AM
Subcategory | Huh?
I've ridden in enough taxis to know that cabbies have an opinion on everything: politics, money, the weather, traffic, sports, my haircut, etc. I try to interject the occasional "Huh" or "Wow" to keep my end of the conversation alive,...

FakeBook Pro: homage or dastardly plot?

Authored by Dan Moren at 1:33 AM
Subcategory | Huh?
Gizmodo spotted this faux MacBook Pro at the Electronic Entertainment Expo this week. It appears to actually be a Dell Inspiron of some variety, leading to me wonder if this would give Michael Dell a heart attack. Okay, sure, maybe...

NSA writes for Apple?

Authored by Scott Silverman at 1:33 AM
Subcategory | Huh?
Did you know the NSA (National Security Agency--if you don't know what this is, you might ask Sam Fisher) has authored an article dealing specifically with Apple Mac OS X? The title is "Apple Mac OS X v10.3.x "Panther"...

Does Apple's left hand know what the right is doing?

Authored by Derik DeLong at 1:33 AM
Subcategory | Huh?
MacInTouch pointed out an Apple Knowledge Base article on maintenance yesterday. Some parts are no brainers. Some of them are a little less obvious. The rest just don’t seem to make sense. There’s ten tips in the document and...

Counterfeiting hits home

Authored by Dan Moren at 1:33 AM
Subcategory | Huh?
It seems like just yesterday we were warning you about the French and their très furtif attempt at copying Apple's iSight. Good times, good times. But even in our own US of A, we're hardly immune from such an incident....

Second stop on the crazy train

Authored by Derik DeLong at 1:33 AM
Subcategory | Huh?
As if getting called a crackpot by Dan wasn’t enough, Rob Enderle has decided to drive deep into Dvorak territory. He’s determined to completely bypass all logic, opting instead to construct a theory based upon arbitrary dates and figures....

Quel horreur! Un faux iSight?

Authored by Dan Moren at 1:33 AM
Subcategory | Huh?
Last we heard, there were companies in the depths of Asia manufacturing counterfeit iPod nanos in a bid to rule the very world. But that plan was foiled by astute consumers realizing that the fake nanos actually didn't look very...

Associated Press is stuck in the '80s

Authored by Dan Moren at 1:33 AM
Subcategory | Huh?
As I was skimming the headlines this morning, something odd caught my eye. For the most part, I'll skip blithely over stories related to Boot Camp—been there, done that, ad nauseam. The top headline, "Apple opens a few new Windows,"...
