If you still weren’t convinced that Apple’s desktop/laptop Mac OS X operating system and their mobile operating system iOS were moving closer and closer to one another here’s yet one more example. If you have a Mac go to software update and download the Airport Utility update. Once you do you’ll be greeted with a [...]

Has Apple Jumped the Shark with iBooks Author?
Image courtesy of Carrypad I’m a huge fan of eBooks. I’ve been reading them since the Peanut Press days, I have gone on at length about the strengths and weaknesses that I’ve found in the various software eBook readers currently available, and I’ve reviewed a number of “enhanced books” right here for y’all. I haven’t read [...]
Dragon Dictate for Mac Giveaway!! We Have a Winner!!!
We had a copy of Dragon Dictate for Mac to give away. CES 2012 is over and it is belatedly time to pick a winner…
Gear Games Retrospective: Neverwinter Nights 2 for the Mac (App Store Version)
Neverwinter Nights 2 (NWN2) arrived late in 2006 on the PC, and the Mac version took about sixteen months longer to arrive on Mac OS X. In fact, the first expansion for the PC game arrived before the Mac port, but unlike the expansions for the original Neverwinter Nights there is not a simple way [...]
The Drobo Data Storage System Review
Last fall I applied for and received a grant that will allow my synagogue to build a new technology lab. Within the next few months we will have a number of iMac desktop computers and a host of iPads being used by our kids and adults alike. In fact, I’m working on a special tutorial [...]
Dragon Dictate for Mac Giveaway!!
The other day David, our Gear Diary automotive guru, emailed with some bad news. Yes, it seems he welcomed the New Year with a serious shoulder injury. Here’s what he wrote (I feel his pain as he typed each letter…) I hope this is not an omen as to how 2012 is going to shape [...]

The Mac App Store Doesn’t Mean Mac Bundles Are Dead!
One concern I had when the Mac App Store went live was that it meant the end of Mac application bundles. Those bundles, something I had never seen when I used a Windows computer, helped me get some of my favorite OS X apps. Thankfully steals and deals on Mac apps are still happening. Deals [...]
FileMaker Releases Bento 4 Holiday Kit
I love the concept of the “bento box”. I think the first time I saw it was in The Breakfast Club, where Claire (“the princess”) brought one as her lunch. So Japanese, you know? Several different items, all neatly compartmentalized and neatly laid out for your consumption. So different from the “smoosh everything together in [...]
Review: mSecure 3.0 Password Protection
I have been using the same password protection program for quite a few years. I’ve thought about switching on a number of occasions, but it’s always is too much of a hassle, or the software that interests me isn’t available on enough platforms. So when I was recently offered an opportunity to review mSeven Software’s [...]
Nuance Releases Dragon Express; Just Don’t Call It Dragon for Mac Light
Yesterday Nuance released Dragon Express in the Mac App Store. At an introductory price of $49, the application is a less expensive way to get Nuance’s voice-to-text transcription on your Mac than the $200 Dragon for Mac. (It only runs on OS X Lion and if you haven’t upgraded to it you should.) It would [...]
Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10 Land in the Mac App Store
If you are looking for something that offers a bit more than iPhoto or iMovie but without breaking the bank, Adobe’s Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements have always provided a great choice. Of course, as there is no real alternative to iLife on the PC, those apps are an excellent choice for anyone wanting to [...]
iCloud Workflow Update Thanks to the iOS App Elements
The other day I wrote a post talking about the fact that, thanks to, Siri and iCloud, the Notes application that ships on all iOS devices has suddenly become a full-fledged productivity tool. Thanks to Siri, I’m now able to write everything I need to write on my iPhone by voice and then, thanks to [...]
