Cool Video of the Day: Upgrading your Macbook
Here’s a YouTube video (from MacWorld, via O’reilly weblogs) that shows removing the battery, RAM, and harddrive from a MacBook; all in about 30 seconds. Cool. Never been that easy in any IBM or Dell laptop I’ve ever worked on.

Fifth Ave Apple Store Opening Today
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (a daily read) reports that the Fifth Ave Apple Store is opening today. They included a link to an awesome flickr picture set showing just how over the top the store will be. I’d like to stop by, someday… In other Apple news, the new macbook‘s are out. I’m currently trying…

iTalk; what’s to come?
Here’s an amazing video (via) an apple fan put together of what an apple mobile phone and iPod combination might look like. I’d probably go for something like that. Speaking of phones, it was recently re-up time from my contract. At first, I was very interested in the Sony Walkman Phone, but not enough to…

Haven’t seen this one on TV yet, but here’s an Apple dealer who used $60,000 worth of iPods as dominos in a recent commercial. Via.

Cool Video of the Day, Part II
Saw this (via My Journey to Macintosh) a while ago and it cracked me up. Add an alarm to your MacBook Pro. Turn it on and off remotely with your Apple remote. I really hope it doesn’t catch on, I hear enough car alarms sounding off all night long that nobody seems to car about…

Its replacement is the iPod Nano. pretty spicy, 2gb or 4gb flash (and 8gb rumored to be coming soon), color screen, and not too expensive. Available now. In related news, Motorola and Apple have also released a new phone, the rokr,…

iPod Heart Attack
Yesterday, I was updating iTunes on my PC and noticed that there was also an update to the iPod software. I think I missed the last update, so I figure its probably a good time to get caught up. So I download the 40Mb updater. I run the installer, it says connect your iPod and…

Miniaturization At Apple
Apple has been hard at work at some new projects: Is the iPod MINI not quite small enough for you? How about the iPod Shuffle? Its a flash based Mp3 player that’s even smaller than the MINI; basically its the size of USB key drive. Note there’s a little extra Apple brand humor on the…

Whoa, that’s a biggin’!
I was in CompUsa the other day and spotted a new 30″ Apple Cinema Display. Running at a staggering 2560×1600 resolution, it seems to provide acres of desktop real estate. Man, I would love to have one. But, at $3,000 I don’t see it ever happening. Hmm, $3,000 is more than all of the PC…
