Whether you’re running a massive 500 GB hard drive or super-speedy 32 GB solid state drive on your Mac, it doesn’t hurt to strip away unnecessary languages from your programs. It’s a hassle to go through applications individually and remove additional language files, but Monolingual has automated this process in an easy to use, free utility. Read more  

The next iteration of Apple’s revolutionary operating system, OS X, comes out this Friday – “Snow Leopard” version 10.6. For $29, I decided to go ahead and purchase the OS last night from the Apple Store, so it’ll be at my door at some point on Friday and give me something to do this weekend. Read more  

Ever spend hours trying to find “just the right” wallpaper to accommodate your personality? Well I think I found one to tickle my fascination with astronomy.

For the Tiger/Leopard Mac users out there, you’re probably interested in something artistic by nature. Whether its editing photography, listening to music, or writing HTML/PHP code (my personal favorite), Mac OS X empowers the creative side in computing. Consequently, any time there’s an opportunity to “enhance” a mode of creativity, I jump at it, and I believe I’ve come across such a chance (in reality, I came across it three months ago but have only now decided to publicize it ). SRS iWOW, an iTunes plugin, is one of the most extraordinary audio enhancement plugins I’ve come across on any of the operating systems I use.

Hands down, I believe that VMware Fusion 2 is the best option for those who are looking to run Mac OS X as their primary operating system but also have Windows and Linux as readily accessible environments.

I decided to create an extension to my MacBook review, but this time, focusing on the applications. For Mac OS X Leopard users who are blown away by the amount of available software, here’s what I’ve determined to be the best in each category:

In light of our Independence Day, I too wished to declare a sort of independence. Not from the iron fist rule of a world super power, or for any particular rights; however, my declaration was far more nerdy. I hereby declare myself free from the slower speed, range, and bandwidth of my very old Linksys router. Ladies and gentlemen, enter the Apple Airport Extreme.

I’ve had my Apple MacBook for about a month and a half now, so I thought I should go ahead and compile a brief review for those of you who are planning to purchase a new laptop. This was indeed for my first major Apple purchase (aside from iPods); however, since I have a strong background with Linux, it took very little time to familiarize myself with the Mac OS X Leopard interface. Nevertheless, I recommend wary purchasers visit an Apple Store to actually “test drive” the computers before making your decision.

With the very recent announcement of Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard, developers the world over are expressing their opinions regarding Apple’s decision to focus more on stability and performance rather than adding new features. Some are bitter, since Apple has been plowing forward in terms of innovation over the last few releases. Others, like myself, are more appreciative for this move. I’ve compiled a list of my top three reasons to support Snow Leopard’s focus compared to the desires of feature-hungry users out there.
