With the addition of an 11″ MacBook Air to my travel arsenal, my primary use for my iPad is as an around the house machine. Specifically, I find it best to have it hanging around in a living space where I can use it to quickly get information. Sometimes I use an app, sometimes the…
Marco.org – Speculation on the next MacBook Pro – I’ve had every generation of MacBook Air, all with SSDs. The performance has been nearly the same on all of them – all great.

I guess this is a pet peeve of mine, but why don’t any of the major browsers open a requested URL in the frontmost tab if that tab is empty (about:blank)? Camino got this right years ago, but Firefox, Safari and Chrome still open up a new tab next to the empty one. I can’t…

If you’re using HTML5 (like we are on the Crowd Favorite website), you may run into an issue of forms not submitting in Webkit browsers (Safari, Chrome). If the form is failing silently with no JavaScript errors and you have an <input type=”date” /> in the form, that may be the issue. It appears that…

The criticism of the iPad before its release was basically: what do I need it for? Having used it for a little while, I’m honestly not sure… Don’t get me wrong, I like my iPad, but I haven’t seen the (or even a) killer app for the iPad yet. I’m generally using my iPad for…
