Turning to the Grey Side

It’s been a year since my opinion has changed from PC’s to Mac’s, hardware-wise. Now it’s time for my opinions to take physical form. Apple’s keynote presentation at WWDC today has convinced me that now is the best time to buy a MacBook Pro. What are my reasons?

It’s official: the Pandora’s RAM and NAND memory have both been doubled to 256MB and 512MB respectively. There are two possible reactions that people’ve had so far: This is great, and I love the addition, but it doesn’t really thrill me. Wow, this is outstanding!

Pandora Pre-orders… Or Not

We would if we could, but us Pandora fans cannot pre-order. The reason? See for yourself. At the time of this writing, the site is either slow in the dialup extreme, or simply resets.
