  MacBook Pro Finish Wearing Off - UPDATE

Well, I called AppleCare last night and spent 2 hours on the phone with them (an hour and a half of that was hold time). I presented my case to 2 different people and Apple declined to replace the palm rest area on my MacBook Pro, stating that it isn’t a wide spread problem. I informed [...]

  Bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard Today?

I stopped by the Apple Store today to see what could be done about my MacBook Pro finish and I also bought one of the new Apple Wireless Keyboards. I’m going to pick up a 30″ Cinema Display sometime in the next few weeks and run that off of my MacBook Pro, so I needed [...]

  Upgrading MacBook Pro RAM From 2GB to 4GB

I was checking out Glenn Wolsey’s blog earlier today and got motivated to upgrade the RAM in my MacBook Pro from 2GB to 4GB. The bump in RAM should make my machine a little more responsive when running Photoshop CS3. I’ve never done this before, but from the look of things it shouldn’t be too difficult…

  MacBook Pro Finish Pitting

Lately, I’ve noticed that the finish on my MacBook Pro is really beginning to wear in the areas where my wrists rest while typing. The finish is starting to show signs of pitting… After doing a little research, I was able to find other similar stories out there such as the one mentioned over at [...]

  My MacBook Pro battery died?

After a year of heavy use, I’m happy to report that the only problem I’ve had with my MacBook Pro was a dead battery… Over the past few months, I noticed that my MacBook Pro was giving me less than an hour of battery life so I decided to give AppleCare a call. 2 days later [...]

  Mac OS X Blue Screen of Death

Well, it appears that waiting to upgrade to Mac OS X Leopard was a smart move. I’ve read quite a few horror stories from users who opted to upgrade immediately, and were rewarded with the OS X blue screen of death. Although I’m excited to upgrade and check out the improvements Apple has made to OS [...]

  Importing Video Into iMovie HD - Loss of Quality

After playing around quite a bit with iShowU, I decided to import my first video into iMovie HD. Unfortunately no matter what I seemed to do, there was always a loss of quality after I imported the clip into iMovie. Thanks to the guys at iShowU, I found a hack that seems to work great. Instead of [...]

  Apple?s AppleCare Program Rocks?

Props to Apple for their AppleCare program… I opted for the AppleCare protection plan last year when I bought my MacBook Pro and it’s so much more than just an extended warranty. Included with Applecare is the ability to call a live customer support rep (on a toll-free number) and get an instant answer to just about [...]

  iPod Nano Review (4GB + video)

Well, my old iPod Nano bit the dust. It was still under warranty so I returned it to Best Buy and it was replaced with the next generation iPod Nano (4GB with Video). Here’s my review of the newest iPod Nano: Pros: The screen is drop dead gorgeous and the display is much brighter than the [...]

  How to Clean a MacBook Pro Keyboard

If your MacBook Pro keyboard is starting to show the effects of heavy use, it’s time to clean it up. So what is the best way to clean a MacBook Pro keyboard? Well, I decided to try a Magic Eraser (by Mr. Clean). I have to admit, it worked like a charm and my MBP looks [...]
