According to News.com, an upcoming Flash player update code named “Moviestar” [...]

If you’ve been disappointed to learn that Adobe does not offer an installer for Live Cycle Data Services ES, you may be happy to learn that the AIX installer runs just peachy under Mac OS X. The AIX installer is an executable JAR file that runs an InstallAnywhere installer. Simply double-click the JAR and go. [...]

There’s no question that Parallels Desktop is the current tool to beat when it come to running Windows applications under Mac OS X. There are a number of great features that Parallels offers like being able to create a VM image from a real PC and import VMWare images. These are a few things that [...]

A lot of folks get pretty excited when they get a new Apple product and share their unpacking experience online. Just the other week, I was able to snag a refurbished 15″ 2.16GHz MacBook Pro at the Apple Store Special Deals section for $1499. I was curious to see how much of a departure [...]

Well, it seems that an old staple of Mac rumor sites has finally seen it’s last day. The site MacOSRumors.com was once one of the greatest Mac sites around. Over the past few years however, due to health issues with its founder, had gone down hill. Most readers had put the site on death watch, [...]
