Hey everyone.
I’ve had several emails today from people who indicate that they want to enter the contest, but didn’t find out in time/lost their cat/broke their hip/just got out of jail/etc., and they’ve asked for a little more time.
I understand this was put together in a hurry, and since we only have 9 entries at this time, I’ve decided to extend the deadline until February 3rd, @ 12noon, EST.
At that time, the entries will be posted and you can start sending your friends/ families/ clasmates/ cell block buddies to the voting page. Voting will end on February 17th @ …
A little birdie sent us an email with the following goodie about tomorrows (possible?) Apple event:
Tomorrow (Tuesday), Apple will release more information about the iPhone and its “hidden app”. The hidden app will be an app that allows you to wirelessly access your Apple laptop or desktop at home, however you can only use this with Tiger and an Intel processor.
Interesting. Even if it’s doesn’t pan out, I’m sure that we’ll see some sort of Remote Desktop applet on the iPhone when it ships; it just makes sense to include such functionality. …

One of the biggest complaints about the otherwise perfect MacBook product line is the extreme heat they put out. Over the past year, I’ve tried several methods of cooling my MacBook Pro, including software tools as well as various fan and cooling systems.
But among the many solutions I’ve tried, the best I’ve found so far is the Vantec LapCool 4 (lpc-430)
.
Aside from being an excellent way to cool down the system (my MBP 17″ runs at about 42 degrees Celsius on average), it adds a great deal of functionality to the system:
3 USB 2 ports
8 in 1 card reader
Adjustable fan control (low noise, too)
foldable design, perfect for throwing in your bag

Today’s article is geared toward those of us (you) who work with their Macs and frequently save files that they need to send to others, including Windows users.
In some cases, it is necessary to make a couple of small changes when sending out these files…the problem is with ‘file extensions’, and it is an age old issue.
For instance, when you create a Word document, it is saved as (for instance) ‘mydocument.doc’. The ‘.doc’ is the extension. In most Windows applications, that extension is necessary for the computer to know what program opens it (as opposed to your Mac, which uses the files metadata to associate it with an appropriate application).
This article will help you ease the pain of sending/receiving a file that needs to be used cross-platform. We’ll be using Office 2004 applications as the example programs, but most software has similar settings.

Tired of holding down ‘option’ every time you use your BootCamp partition or forgetting to switch using the Startup Disk app?
If there’s anything worse than rebooting to quickly launch your OS, then coming back to find you are in the wrong OS again, it has to involve bleeding from an orifice.
Fortunately though, there is a solution. An enterprising fellow by the name of Christoph Pfisterer has created an application called ‘rEFIt‘, which allows you to install a graphical menu on your Intel Mac that lets you choose which OS to boot each time the system starts.

If you’re one of the numerous people who are using the latest beta build of Parallels Desktop for Mac, build 3120, you may have experienced a problem whereby you would be presented by an ever spinning beachball whenever you close an application, or switch windows or scroll or move your mouse or look at your screen.
There is a fix, but it comes with a small cost…
