  • IceCam2 - Review Most Macs come with built-in iSight cameras nowadays. However, if you have a Mac Mini or a tower, you don?t get a camera. You are on your own to find one. The IceCam2 is an affordable solution to that missing piece of your computer. Even those with a built-in camera might want to give this one a look.
  • MotionX Poker - iPhone App Review With so many poker games available in the iTunes App Store how do you know which one to buy? You read reviews like this one.
  • Animation-ish - Review When I was in middle school and high school I was always looking for an animation program for my computer. I never found one. They were always to juvenile, or too advanced and expensive. If Animation-ish was around then, I would have found what I was looking for.
  • MAXPower 802.11n/g/b Wireless PCMCIA Laptop Cardbus Adapter Within seconds, all nearby networks are displayed, along with their security requirements.
  • i2i Stream - Review There are ENDLESS ways to use i2i Stream with small or large numbers of listeners.
  • Nemo's Ten Point Tutorial #10: Nature and Art in San Francisco At first I wanted to realign and straighten the frame, but I decided the photo has more energy being tilted.
  • eWallet for iPhone - Review With data encryption that meets U.S. Government Top Secret levels, flexible security settings, and infinitely customizable ?cards? that hold a myriad of personal info, the only thing eWallet lacks is a convenient way to move all that info from your real wallet to your virtual one.

  • Hewlett-Packard Photosmart C8180 All-In-One Printer HP asked me to review the C8180, and here's what I found after using on it for quite a while.
  • Storyist - Review Even if you don't think the whole suite will be useful I guarantee that you'll find at least one feature that'll be hard to live without.
  • First Book Shoot-out: Missing Manual vs. My New Mac Recommending a good book for newcomers to the Mac platform is always tricky. You want to recommend something that doesn't just cover all the basics but also has some depth as well. A book that only covers the simplest aspects of the Mac interface like how to copy files or connect to the Internet will quickly become obsolete as the user's skills increase. So the best sort of beginner's book is one that doesn't just cover the interface and the operating system but also explains how to use the supplied programs to complete a variety of different projects.
  • Kensington Ci70 Keyboard with USB Ports - Review I?m a pretty fast typist but the one thing I kept hearing while I was typing at home was ?Why are you typing so loudly? Hey, it wasn?t me, it was just the keyboard responding to my fingers flying over the keys. I?ve always, for the most part, used an Apple keyboard hooked up to my Macs. You know, the big, almost sounds like a typewriter, keyboards.
  • Fenestration 43 - Wind of Change Ever since Steve Jobs got up in front of the World Wide Developer Conference and announced "yes - the rumours are true!" and thereby ushered in the Intel Macintosh age, many of us were tantalized by two diverse possibilities - running Windows natively on a Mac and running OS X on ordinary PCs.
  • LAbesace Lime Drop MacBook Laptop Bag - Review With out wishing to stereotype the typical MyMac magazine reader, let me ask you a question. Have you ever shopped for a handbag? If not for yourself, perhaps accompanied a loved one or friend? It is a frankly bewildering experience. They come in so many different shapes, colors, sizes and prices that I had no idea how my wife was ever going to be able settle on just one.
  • MyMac Podcast 193 - Chatting About Microsoft Download the show here, or subscribe via iTunesTim, Guy, David, and Sam talk about the latest happenings in the Macintosh world.

  • FS100 Digital Video Camera - Review I?ve been avoiding buying a new camcorder to replace the 8 year old DVC tape unit for awhile now. There were plenty of tempting offerings, but none matched the feature set and price point that I was looking for until I happened upon Canon?s FS100 model at an Apple Store. While giving it a once over there, I liked the light weight, the responsive and variable zoom, the microphone input, and that at $399, it was still very much reasonable in price.
  • Jumsoft iWeb Themes - Review As a long time user of iWeb I have become somewhat jaded with the themes that Apple supplies with their easy to use website creation program. So much so that I did a series of articles on how to use it and make your site look anything OTHER than yet another iWeb site. It?s relatively easy to do so, cut this piece there, add a little here, not entirely unlike gourmet cooking but with a Betty Crocker Easy-Bake oven.
  • SCOTTEVEST/SeV Essential Jacket-Men?s - Review The SeV Essential Men?s Jacket has more pockets than any three ordinary jackets combined, and it?s the only jacket I?ve ever encountered that actually comes with instructions for using all those pockets. If you carry around a lot of gadgets, read on, because you?ve never seen the likes of this garment before.
  • The Moment It Clicks - Review The Moment It Clicks has something to over all serious photographers.
  • LaCie 1TB external Hard Drive, design by Neil Poulton - Review Designer hard drives. Has it really come to this? A hard drive should be utilitarian, be robust and have oodles of space for all the stuff we want to put on it. Considering that we rarely look at them except over whatever icon is assigned to them (or that we assign to them ourselves) on our desktops to access information and data, who cares what they look like and I?ll be damned, DAMNED I say if I?ll buy a drive based on looks alone. Except?
  • Drive Genius 2 - Review Prosoft bills Drive Genius as "THE industry standard disk utility for the Mac platform." That's a big claim, so I thought I'd have a look at the latest Leopard-compatible version, Drive Genius 2, to see if I could improve the performance of my 1.83 GHz MacBook. Short answer? Yes! Long answer? Read on...
  • DIY Upgrade Bundle - Review When I bought my MacBook it came with a ?spacious? 80GB hard drive that filled up quickly. Is your drive close to being full? If so, save a couple of bucks and learn how to replace it yourself by following these simple directions. You can do this.
  • MyMac Podcast 192 - Apple Black Friday and GalaFactory Software Download the show here, or via iTunesWhat went wrong? Apple's launch of the iPhone 3G, Moble Me, iPhone 2.0, and the App Store were fraught with problems, and Tim, Guy, and David look into it.

  • Brenthaven Prolite 1 Computer Bag - Review Are you still using the crummy free bag you got when you bought your MacBook? If you are, it?s time to retire that piece of junk and grab a real bag with the Brenthaven name on it.
  • Unison i-XD - Review The Unison i-XD is a multi-function dock for charging, syncing, connecting speaker systems to your iPod for audio, and playing video from your iPod to a TV (5th gen iPods only).
  • MyMac Podcast 191 - App Store Download the show here, or subscribe via iTunesTime to look at some of the iPhone / iPod Touch apps. David tries to sell his iPhone on ebay and runs into problems.

  • The HP All-In-One L7590 Printer - Review I am a fan of the multi-function printing device. They take up less space than four machines combined (obviously) and I only need to buy supplies for one machine. Time was, however, when owning one meant compromise on all functions. However, about 8 years ago, the first of what I considered good devices in this class started showing up from companies like Cannon, Brother, and HP, and their abilities continue to grow.
  • atrio M8 PROFESSIONAL EARPHONES - Review I'm glad to say I've met my spiritual sonic in-ear guru, atrio professional headphones by Future Sonics. These phones are the first I've found that fit me the way I believe the company would have it. And the amazing part is that the silicone sleeves that were already on the m8's I received fit perfectly.
  • eMedia My Piano - Review When you complete all 107 lessons, you'll be an accomplished beginner.
