Attention everyone who is excited about the new Finder in Snow Leopard; it isn’t new, it will look pretty much the same, and you really won’t notice a difference. John Gruber put it best on Daring Fireball: Cocoa is just an API. It is not some sort of magic technology where you just sprinkle a more »

I was awoken this morning by a text message from o2, which read, “iPhone 3G is here. The iPhone you have been waiting to early upgrade to. Order from 8am today.” Yup! If you’re an o2 customer/wannabe customer, you can now pre-order the iPhone 3G at o2′s website! o2 say that pre-orders are on a more »

Orchard Spy has released a few screenshots of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and while they look the same as Leopard, (Leopard looked like Tiger once, too) they do tell us some preliminary things about the new OS, and we’ll tell you after the break.

Yesterday, AT&T announced that it plans to release its High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) in six more US markets by the end of June, completing its deployment of HSPA. Once that task is completed, the company says that the 3G service will offer uplink speeds of between 500 and 800Kbps, which will complement the more »

The Mac Mini is Apple’s cheapest computer, and smallest desktop computer – great for those who don’t need much processing or graphics power.

Corsair is well-known for its high-performance memory for PCs. It has just released an exclusive new model of RAM, designed for the MacBook and MacBook Pro.

As always, early adopters will find issues that Apple needs to fix – especially with new hardware. The 2008 Mac Pros were an unexpected release, as they came before the Macworld keynote. The new Mac Pros didn’t have a new casing – in fact, they look exactly the same as 2007 Mac Pros from the more »

I replaced the RAM in my MacBook after reading about it. It’s true that Apple really do overcharge for RAM upgrades, whether it’s a build-to-order computer from the online store, or an existing computer. Buying RAM from a place like Crucial is quick, easy and cheap – and apparently Micron Technology (the parent company of Crucial) supply the RAM for Apple anyway. Upgrading the hard drive in the MacBook is pretty much the same as RAM, you just open up the battery, remove a few screws and replace the drive in the slot; although you will have to re-install Mac OS X.

MacBook Pro owner Max Millon replaced his hard drive in around 40 minutes. He used the instructions at ifixit to place a massive 320GB drive into his MacBook Pro.
