Apple Store 10th Anniversary Poster Loaded with Random Trivia
 |
I’ve only been in one Apple Store; they aren’t that prolific in my area. The one in Austin, Texas isn’t fancy and I don’t really recall much about it other than it has a lot of MacBooks and geeks running around. Last month Apple celebrated the 10th anniversary of the… |

Wacko Arrested with PS2 in His Pants
 |
This is a very bizarre story. Apparently, a man named Timothy Jones Sr. from Lincoln, Mo was walking in traffic. I would hazard a guess that he was on something that affected his cognitive abilities at the time. Not only do normal folk generally not walk in traffic, they also… |

$249 Crux Loaded Case Turns Your iPad into a Netbook: Why?
 |
While I can appreciate Logitech’s iPad case, which protects your tablet and has a smartly hidden keyboard, I have trouble considering the $249 Crux Loaded as a worthwhile alternative, since the iPad is already costly. Instead of doing this, you could simply just buy a MacBook Air and be done… |
