Get Your Mac On With Google

It was the introduction of the Intel Macs that delayed this; an appendix and numerous updates throughout the book cover the new hardware and the software changes (that's the August 2006 printing; if you are buying used and want the Intel info, don't buy the June 2006 edition).

Just one-inch thin, the new MacBooks are up to 25 percent faster than the previous generation and feature a built-in iSight® video camera for on-the-go video conferencing, Apple’s MagSafe™ Power Adapter that safely disconnects when under strain, and iLife® ‘06, Apple’s award-winning suite of digital lifestyle applications.
The major point of interest here is that the notebooks now include Intel Core 2 Duo processors, which should greatly increasing the device’s perfomance.
So the new MacBook is faster, sleeker, and comes with new gadgets. Where do I sign up?
Seriously though, I’ve been jonesing for a reason to ditch my current laptop and buy a MacBook. What’s my motivation? Honestly, a MacBook just looks better in comparison to a traditional notebook. The design is so intuitive, and now the hardware capability is starting to catch up with the ultra-hip look of the device.
I don’t know how I feel about the mode that comes in black, though. If I’m Apple, product recognition has to be at or near the top of the list when it comes to new technology, and when people think Apple… they think white.
From Macs to iPod earbuds, white is Apple’s signature color. If I were them, I wouldn’t mess with a good thing.

iPod Shuffle Defect
 By
Autumn Davis
The newest 2GB iPod Shuffle comes with a convenient clip attached for consumers to, as the commercials demonstrate, clip onto the pocket of a pair of pants.
That may seem like a relatively simple and convenient concept, but there’s one small problem. The clip bends like cardboard if you don’t detach it before sitting down or standing up.
While the bent clip does not affect the ability of the iPod to play music, it does make the shuffle impossible to put into it port to charge it or connect to a PC. So in other words, the bent clip renders the iPod Shuffle completely useless.
Apple has not yet commented on repairing the clips of broken shuffles free of charge. However, several “kindly” third parties are developing a new USR Key port attachment, which will connect the defective shuffles to PC’s.
