I don’t know about you sometimes we find files that were downloaded weeks ago and wonder where they came them. Usually on my PC I just shrug my shoulders open it up and see.

Well, it turns out that OS X has this little known feature built-in. You just have to select the file and hit [...]

AtA shows some Mac love this morning with our Question of The Day.
Apparently you can – and get your IP and some other semi-important information as well. We can have this tidbit show up on your login screen each and every time you login with a lil’ old hack from MacOsXtips.co.uk

When you start up your [...]

Good weekend kiddies,
Comodore64 back again to shed some light for any newly ordained Mac users that are carrying over from the M$ world. Since Mac is gaining a kind of strangle hold on the industry, I’m pretty sure there are a lot of guys like myself who have a PC for certain purposes and a [...]

More specific Spotlight searches for our Mac friends! Spotlight searches are sometimes not as good as they should be, especially if you have a lot of files with similar names.
It is possible to narrow your results down by specifying the type of file you are looking for by adding “kind:type of file”.
Here is an example [...]

I wasn’t sure who I should contact about this, so i am sending this to you. As of late, word attachments coming from my friend on a Windows XP Machine appear as “winmail.dat” files.

Okay, I have been politely asked by Karl to bring a little bit of Mac/Apple love to this blog. While I think this may just be part of his devious plot to get a Apple Air for review, I have agreed to oblige. So here it is my first Ask the Admin’s [...]

Have you ever heard the saying – the best thing since sliced bread? Well how about one better with some toast?
That’s burnt toast – a CD/DVD burning suite from our good friends at ROXIO. We had a contest for the PC side now we want to show some Mac love so, Mac users it [...]

In honor of my second Mac certification course today I will be featuring a Mac Slash Pc question. Marky Mark needs to be able to attach a PC hard drive with NTFS partitions and transfer the data to their mac (where we will be connecting the drives). In the end we want to see [...]

Have you seen the latest commercial from Apple for the Mac? It is the same PC versus Mac concept except the characters look like they are straight out of the “Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer” animated classic.
I am not a Mac user, but I know a lot of you are out there are. Either way, [...]

Hey Boys and Girls,
We’ve had the honor of meeting up with the guys over at Gelaskins. Their products were one of the more popular products at the CES pre-show and Digital-Life Show, mainly because of the sexy designs they use for their Gelaskins. Really wicked stuff. But there’s more to Gelaskins than meets the eye. [...]

I’m here to talk briefly about the current state of Smartphones as well as what we might come to expect from Android and [...]

We have done stories on Apple viruses in the past. Now there is a new Mac Trojan that is especially nasty. Take a look at our technical diagram on your left.
It goes like this – If you are a Mac user and a online content porn coinsurer then you might already be infected. This [...]

There sure is and Quicksilver over at InsideMacGames.com puts us on this morning:
Over the past couple of days, I’ve talked to a lot of people who aren’t pleased with Leopard’s new dock–interestingly, some them were actually annoyed enough to go through the pains of tweaking the Dock in order to make it better fit their [...]

So get this one PCWorld does a lot of laptop testing and they have concluded that The Macbook Pro runs Vista better then any other machine!
The fastest Windows Vista notebook we’ve tested this year is a Mac. Try that again: The fastest Windows Vista notebook we’ve tested this year–or for that matter, ever–is a Mac. [...]

We got a package in the mail yesterday with no return address. Scary?
Scary awesome!
Someone sent us a HUGE 24″ Intel iMac. That’s right we said someone because we have no idea who. That didn’t stop us from firing the bad boy up and seeing what she got.
2.13 ghz Intel processor, 2 Gigs of memory, [...]

Defragmenting is just part of the Windows landscape. We’ve been doing it since…I dunno…Bill Gates hit puberty (Really?? he did?). Its just a habit, a way of life. Old habits die hard, even when users switch from a Windows OS to a new OS like Mac OS.
So, many users who have switched from PC’s to [...]

Alrighty Mac Fans and PC Fans we can all come together and help Mark from Florida.
We have heard of something called MACFUSE but i have to [...]

So all the local NYC stores still have stock on the iPhone. eBay yesterday, around 7pm, had these things going for as much as $1200! Now there are so many auctions for .99 and no bids.

If you still want one there are deals to be had. I feel bad for the line waiters and high [...]
