I got this MacBook as part of a promotion through my school, so it came pre-equipped with a lot of useful software.  I'm not sure how much stuff comes with a Mac natively, so no comments on the 'normal' software package.  Everything on here has run very smoothly thus far, however.You can achieve stupidly long system uptimes with the MacBook; I have a tendency towards never...

I got my iPod nearly two years ago, and instantly scratched it.  The screen is super-delicate, so it's best to get a case right away.  (Mine was a Christmas gift, and the iPod videos were newly released and in high demand back then, so finding a case was nearly impossible.) Other than that, the design is very slick and has stood up relatively well.  I've dropped it a...

At the time it was written, this book was probably cutting edge and on top of many of the tech trends of the day.  I didn't read it until 2007, but managed to thoroughly enjoy it anyway.  At times Coupland gets a little too enamored of his pop culture references, which don't necessarily age well -- a few things went right over my head.  For the most part, though, things c...

This camera is really, really simple, and really, really easy to use.  The zoom is awesome, especially for what it is.Resolutoin isn't all that great by today's standards, I guess, but for the time (oh, say, a year ago?) it was awesome, and is probably still more than enough for your average novice/layperson photographer, who are the sort of people I'd imagine using this. ...

In the song "Guilty Pleasure," Cobra Starship's lead singer Gabe Saporta says "I came here to make you dance tonight."  And that he does!  This is a super-catchy pop album, full of pop tunes and a startling amount of bitterness.  On the surface, it's a colorful, vaguely 80's-inspired album full of cheerful tunes doomed to get stuck in your head.&nb...

I bought this on a whim, during a brief mouthwash-purchasing frenzy I went on; my local drugstore had a mouthwash from The Natural Dentist on sale for two dollars off, complete with bundled toothpaste!  I lucked out there.  I wasn't really in the market for yet another mint-flavored toothpaste, which is what just about every toothpaste out there seems to be, but I didn't want ...

Looking for a mouthwash that doesn't burn?  The Natural Dentist's Daily Oral Rinse provides!  It tastes great, and after two weeks, seems to be doing its job.  My gums might even be better than they were when I was still using the ol' alcohol-based mouthwashes, though I can't state that 100% for certain.  What I can say is that this stuff has a good, refreshi...
