MacBook Pro 15″ In My Hot Little Hands!

Leslie Poston — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 05:41:06 +0000

I finally treated myself to a new MacBook! I was holding out for battery life and a slightly lighter model, and boy did Apple deliver! I LOVE this machine. I got a refurbished White 13″ MacBook 1,1 generation laptop shortly after they first came out. I loved it, and it was working fine, but I outgrew [...]

Apple Upgrades Displays on MacBook, Users… Complain?

Leslie Poston — Fri, 29 May 2009 04:26:24 +0000

I don’t have much to say about this news other than WTF? It turns out that Apple very quietly started replacing the displays on a few of their 13″ MacBook’s with the same one that they use on the Air – a better quality part. Cool, right? Wrong, judging by the online response in forums and [...]

Shareaholic and Stumble Upon for Safari 4 Beta

Leslie Poston — Mon, 11 May 2009 21:08:17 +0000

I’ve stuck stalwartly by the side of FireFox 3.x because it was the only browser to offer some of my main daily tools, such as Jay Meattle’s Shareaholic and the fabulous Stumble Upon bar. I also like the Awesome Bar in FireFox, and some other things. I missed my beautiful Apple interface and my stable, [...]

Apple iPhone to be on Verizon?

Leslie Poston — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 16:54:25 +0000

According to this note online, that may be coming. All I can say as a loyal Verizon user is “it’s about time!” The iPhone should have been available on all carriers from the start. Bookmark to: Hide Sites $$('div.d357').each( function(e) { e.visualEffect('slide_up',{duration:0.5}) });

All CodeWeavers Crossover products are FREE today

Leslie Poston — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 04:35:25 +0000

A few months ago, the folks at CodeWeavers threw down a challenge to President George W Bush. That challenge was an offer of free software if gas prices fell below a certain level in a certain amount of time. Well, no thanks to Bush, gas prices did fall. That means the folks at CodeWeaver will [...]

MacJunkies Podcast

Leslie Poston — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 16:05:52 +0000

I have been writing a lot for Mac.Blorge (and Tech.Blorge, and Mashable, and TouchBase, and Media Bulls Eye, and Uptown Uncorked… you get the picture) and sorely neglecting poor AppleGrrl. I bet y’all didn’t even know I have a new podcast about Apple news, rumors, tips and tricks. Well, I do, called MacJunkies, every Wednesday [...]

Safari Wish List

Leslie Poston — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 05:47:08 +0000

While writing about Safari’s developer tools and the new Ecto 3 blog writing beta over on Mac.Blorge, I realized I have been making a list of things I’d like to see in Safari. Why bother making a list? Because I’d like Safari to be as good as FireFox for my daily browser needs, and it [...]
