Due to the fact that I felt a tad nauseated each time I visited my own site, I’ve decided to remove all but the single ad you see in the header. Hopefully there will be enough interesting stuff there to prompt you to take a look.
That single ad will be seen on every pageview, and I’m going to offer the …

Thanks to the innovative technologies that allow users of Intel based Macs to run Windows, we now possess an amazing opportunity to have the best of both worlds. And the worst…
As in real-life, living on the edge of the tracks on the wrong side of town (whew, metaphor overload…that reads like a BonJovi lyric.) has it’s downside.
Viruses, spyware, malware, trojans, worms, ActiveX and more can turn your $2000 Mac into a lump of shiny plastic that does nothing more than taunt you and question your parentage.
To protect your Mac from the nasty stuff that can be found on Windows computers, there are a few ways to go. In this article, we’ll recap some of the obvious and not-so-obvious methods you can use to make your Mac run Windows safely and smoothly.
Does it get any better than this? Wow.
I’ve never understood the whole PC vs. Mac thing. I use both daily. Yes, I obviously prefer the Mac, but the PC has it’s place also. Hell, I develop software for the PC (admittedly, these days I do it on XP using Parallels)!
But anyway, after reading this over on Digg, I couldn’t help but share it with the world. 
Enjoy, and feel free to post your own favorite troll links in the comments.

New iPod Shuffles and 802.11n Update
Ok, so not a big exciting announcement, but I can’t help but think that the press on these (the Shuffles, in particular) will steal some of Vistas glory.
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.
