Apple’s new in-ear headphones: comparison, impressions, and FAQ
Turns out a lot of people seem to be pretty interested in Apple’s new in-ear headphones — myself included. It’s not too hard to understand why, either; despite the fact that Apple arguably has more of its headphones in more ears than anyone else these days, none of them are very good. I’ve never met [...]
New MacBook Pro: now with 20% less battery power
Apple touted some pretty decent battery life numbers at the new MacBook / MacBook Pro press event this week: up to five hours on the Pro with discrete graphics off, and four hours with it on (both surely assuming ideal low-power conditions). One of the things that didn’t come up at the presser, however, was [...]
Is right now really the moment for Apple to launch new laptops?
Next week I’ll be with Josh at Apple’s new laptop event in Cupertino, and I’ll be up front about it: I’m pretty stoked. I’ve been holding off on buying until the next major MacBook or Pro revision — which I thought would come in January at Macworld — but this is clearly it. (Granted, there’s [...]
Apple protesters don disgruntled iPhone costume
Over the past few months there have been a number of protesters spotted at various local Apple store locations, but I have to give it up to these guys (MTD Drywall, from Gilroy, I believe). Not only did they go to the effort of building out a full-on disgruntled union-protest iPhone costume (with near-accurately placed [...]
Podcaster: what you’re missing in the app Apple rejected
In light of last week’s controversy over Podcaster, pal Niall took a deeper look inside the App Store process for developers, and what may lead to some apps being rejected. I got a chance to check out Podcaster and kick its wheels a bit — it’s definitely early software, but I can certainly say it’s [...]
Who’s on first? iPod nano, that’s who.
The new nano’s great and all, but I think Apple really dropped the ball on this devices’ marketing potential for the geriatric set. (Actual proportions.)
Dan Lyons takes off the mask and throws down the gauntlet with Apple
I have no doubt in my mind that Steve truly is the cunning monopolist Dan Lyons says he is, but his debut article as Steven Levy’s successor at Newsweek turned out to be a drive-by foot-shooting of dubious arguments and logic.
First, Dan sets up Vudu as an example of the little company trampled underfoot by [...]
How hidden charges doubled my iPhone bill
In July I upgraded my original iPhone to an iPhone 3G at an Apple store. It seemed pretty easy; the offers presented were fairly straightforward, and the receipt was clear. Then I got my bill from AT&T this month and reality hit home (for month one, anyway).
If you’re planning to upgrade (or even just changing [...]

Good folders to exclude from Time Machine backups
Time Machine is a really effective tool for backing up everything on your drive. And when I say everything, I mean it — Time Machine indiscriminately backs up a lot of junk on your drive. And because of the techniques it uses and the way some files are used by your apps, you might find [...]
I'm an editor and technology critic in the midst of founding a new web startup:
