I am currently using a 22" ViewSonic NX2232w and its native resolution is 1680x1050 while my graphics card in my MBP (2.4GHz, not the newest model) is only capable of a max of 1600x(...?the guy at AppleCare didn't tell me, but i dont think the second number matters as much). I am currently using a DVI>VGA adapter that came with one of my Mac's and a (m)VGA>(m)VGA cable which is connecting my MBP and ViewSonic. I am one of those people who researches things to death before I buy them, but w...

Let's just say it: For the vast majority of computer shoppers, buying a Windows PC doesn't quite qualify as a decision. Around nine out of ten computers run one version of Windows or another, making it the world's default option in operating systems. It's opting for something else, like a Mac, that always represents a conscious choice. Which is not to say that there aren't plenty of real reasons to select a computer that runs Windows, even after you've investigated all your options. As a confirm...

We had the opportunity to get our hands on a MP4 Star portable multimedia player. Our first impression was wow, how did they fit all these features into a fairly portable machine. The machine fits in a palm nicely. The machine is not designed to be a beauty pageant winner though. It is designed for functionality over looks. Lets have a look of the portable multimedia player: First off, you can see that it will fit in an average person's palm. The media player will not win for looks, but it is fu...
