Without the software the device works just like a pointer, but without the “magic” multi-gesture parts. We’ll be testing it ... read more
Perhaps I was overly hopeful in wishing for a way in iTunes 10 to link and to purchase books without having to go through my iPhone or iPad. But it would seem to me that Apple’s big revenue model for books would do a lot better if people could email links to books, purchase them ... read more
I’ve been using the Magic Trackpad for about a week now and I’m liking it quite a bit. I’m still reaching for my mouse by default, but the Trackpad has some great functionality.

A few weeks ago I decided to revamp my main laptop. Personally, whenever I do this I prefer to start out with the base store bought Snow Leopard system disk. Once I have installed SL, and done the Software Update, I usually have a host of applications that I like to install. This goes for ... read more

As a result, instead of getting the links to downloads instantly, we had to start doing them manually. This, to say the ... read more
