    Once Again, 24 Rips Off Metal Gear Solid (Spoiler Alert)

    Once Again, 24 Rips Off Metal Gear Solid (Spoiler Alert)

    By Christopher Price on March 31, 2009

    Scarred and tired, Jack Bauer has been infected by a supervirus and must take on a derelict PMC, hellbent on world domination. Sound familiar? If you’ve played Metal Gear Solid 4, you’ve officially been there and done that. I’ve long talked off-the-blog about 24′s continual ripping off of Metal Gear Solid. People have finally started [...]

    Tip: Run Repair Disk Permissions After Today’s Apple Software Updates

    By Christopher Price on March 3, 2009

    Over the past 48 to 72 hours, Apple has issued a lot of updates, for everything from AirPort to RAW support. I just ran Repair Disk Permissions on a couple of Macs that have gotten all those updates beamed down… and there were quite a few permissions glitches. So, be sure to run Repair Disk [...]

    Safari 4: Whoa.

    By Christopher Price on February 28, 2009

    For the first time, I’ve found a web browser that makes Web 2.0 apps feel like desktop ones. And, that browser is Safari 4. Safari 4 may lack all those community plugins, a point for which Safari is constantly critisized. But, that’s because people take Safari for granted. That’s right. People take for granted that [...]

    Giving Some ProCare for Free Could Save Apple Money

    By Christopher Price on January 30, 2009

    I’m going to raise something interesting here, but at first you might think I’m nuts. I think Apple should profile their customers, and give some of them ProCare for free. Take a deep breath, I haven’t lost it. ProCare provides some Apple-centric users powerful tools at the Apple Store. It used to also include One [...]

    My Take on The Apple Tax

    By Christopher Price on January 15, 2009

    I just bought a MacBook Air for $999, as a refurbished previous-generation offering from the Apple Store Online. And, now, I’ll show why that levels the so-called “Apple Tax.” With that system, I am selling off three other laptops; my four-year-old PowerBook G4 12-inch, a netbook, and a Celeron (Core 2 Solo) laptop. One MacBook [...]

    NVIDIA Expands Mobile Driver Support

    By Christopher Price on December 30, 2008

    A little over a week ago, NVIDIA finally expanded their support of mobile chipsets with ForceWare drivers. Previously, only a couple of graphics cards in NVIDIA-powered laptops could use NVIDIA’s stock driver. Sure, there has always been laptopvideo2go.com (which hacks the desktop ForceWare drivers to work on laptops), but this has at times caused problems… [...]

    Protestors Call for Zero Applause at Final Macworld Keynote

    By Christopher Price on December 19, 2008

    Gotta point the finger of blame at The Unofficial Apple Weblog from dropping this link on my desk. Basically, there’s a grass roots effort to erase all applause from the final Apple-hosted Macworld Expo keynote, in protest of the lineup changes, and the outright abandonment of the show from Apple. Sound off in the comments. [...]

    Apple, Macworld Expo Part Ways, Ends IDG-Apple War

    By Christopher Price on December 16, 2008

    I’m writing this post so that people will not immediately jump to the typical Apple CEO Healthwatch, as the media will immediately fixate and drool on. As I’ve written on this blog many times, Macworld’s decay has stemmed from one key thing: Apple and IDG World Expo just do not get along. They haven’t gotten [...]

    New Mac mini? Duh.

    By Christopher Price on December 16, 2008

    I’m really surprised at how many sites are “breaking” the rumor that there will be a new Mac mini at Macworld Expo. I was telling people at public meetings weeks ago that it was a lock for Macworld… and I’ve been talking about the new mini since the MacBook went GeForce 9400M. The Mac mini [...]
