24 Hours Away From Thanking Steve

Thursday, January 26th, 2006

You might remember a month or so back when we told you about a website dedicated to offering up thanks to his Steveness for 30 years of creating the best personal technology products on the planet (for those of you not already aware Apple will turn 30 in April of this year). The site is [...]

Guilty Pleasures

Thursday, January 26th, 2006

I’ll just get right out with it; I may, from time to time, when the situation presents itself, in a moment of weakness, occasionally, enjoy watching Laguna Beach on MTV. There! I said it. Happy Now?
Now can we move on with this particular post? Good.
So today Apple announced the immediate availability of original programming from [...]

Keep Your Mac Up To Date With MacUpdate

Thursday, January 26th, 2006

If you’re anything like me you probably spend a good deal of time installing all sorts of 3rd party applications, widgets, plug-ins’, utilities, etc… on your Macs. One of the great benefits of Mac OS X is how easy it is to install these pieces of software, in most cases drag and drop, and removing [...]

Logitech Finally Delivers the Goods…in White!!

Thursday, January 26th, 2006

How many times have you walked into your local CompUSA, Best Buy, or Staples stores, stared longingly at one of Logitech’s lauded mice and keyboard options, and thought to yourself, "if only they came in white….". Sure not everyone is obsessed with the aesthetic of their computer setup, some would gladly meld a black and [...]

Happy Birthday!

Wednesday, January 25th, 2006

You may get away with forgetting to send Mom a card on her birthday, and I am sure it is possible to somehow talk yourself out of the world of trouble that forgetting your wedding anniversary would result in, but never, under any circumstance, is it acceptable to let slip from your mind that it [...]

Will the REAL Mini – Please Standup
 
Yeah that is what I said when read about this! My Weblog “BananaBits.com” is currently undergoing some maintenance and I could not wait to say something about this. So what better place then here at StationA to talk about this little ditty… It appears that AOpen has [...]

“MacGrab”ing a Few Free Software Licenses

Friday, January 13th, 2006

A few weeks back I came across a few reviews for what seemed to me to be a very useful app called AppZapper. The concept is simple enough, drag any Mac OSX application onto AppZapper and that app is instantly vaporized. And not just the app itself but any preferences, caches, and other support files [...]

Upgrading Your Mac to 10.4.4

Friday, January 13th, 2006

After checking around to see the feedback on the latest software update for Mac OSX Tiger (10.4.4) I decided it looked safe enough to proceed.
Wanting to make sure I did so the right way, repairing permissions, deleting caches, etc… I consulted one of my favorite Mac How-To and troubleshooting resources on the web; MacFixIt.com [...]

Apple Broke My Video iPod

Friday, January 13th, 2006

Because I don’t have enough frustration in my real life, his Steveness decided I could use a little more in my "iLife", so to speak.
I haven’t gone into much detail regarding my new iPod video yet, but suffice to say I love the thing. Whereas the original iPod hooked me on the world of digital [...]

And it looks like somebody has been peeking under the tree a bit early…..
The internets are all a flutter with speculation that at least some of Apple’s upcoming announcements at next weeks MacWorld Expo in San Fran have been revealed already.
The most convincing speculation seems to center on the release of iLife ‘06, with a [...]
