Giz reader Nicholas has a little problem with his MacBook Pro: It’s shocking the crap out of him. It “sparks right at the bottom center of the trackpad.” But Apple Geniuses tell him it’s actually just fine.
While it’s possible Nicholas is just building up static and shocking himself, he says it happens “everywhere,” and that [...]

HP Envy 13 Review: The MacBook Imitated, Not Duplicated [Review]

You know what they say about knock offs; they’re never quite as good as the original. But HP’s Envy 13, which is clearly a rip of the 13-inch MacBook Pro (everything down to packaging screams Apple), comes pretty darn close.
It has an über attractive all metal build, compact design and eye-loving screen, and if it [...]

FunctionFlip 2.0.2 – Toggles the function keys on your MacBook. (Free)

FunctionFlip 2.0.2

FunctionFlip… I like the media keys on my MacBook keyboard – just not all of them. Fat-fingered that I am, I regularly skip tracks when I just want to pause. Disabling all of the keys just won’t do, because I use the brightness and volume keys every day.

10.6 falsely reports ’service battery?’ … I think not

Filed under: Hardware, Tips and tricks, Snow Leopard
Over the last couple weeks, I’ve been going back and forth with readers who truly believe that Snow Leopard is reporting battery errors when they have a perfectly good battery. There’s even a substantially large thread in Apple’s Discussions forums about this topic. I’ve been notified of that [...]

ColcaSac MacBook Sleeves Look Natural, Yet Protective [Colcasac]

These MacBook and MacBook Pro sleeves from ColcaSac are the type of sleeves you would get if you wanted to protect your laptop while carrying it to and from your comparative literature lectures at Wellesley. That doesn’t mean they’re ugly.
Besides being made of “environmentally friendly fabrics”, the sleeves are pretty well padded (hemp has a [...]

Rumor: New, Thinner iMacs Rolling Off Factory Lines, With Mystery Features and Maybe Blu-ray [Rumor]

New iMacs aren’t just coming soon, they’ve been rolling out for two weeks, according to AppleInsider. They’re thinner and look more like the LED Cinema Display, with mystery features that make them the “most versatile ever.”
One of those features might be Blu-ray (uh, finally), and another might something “related to audio.” AppleInsider says they’ll be [...]
