Books,especially technical ones,easily get obsolete within a short period of time. I have several technical books that have recently become obsolete,one of which got obsolete in only three years. This has made me purchase the new editions of some of these books.

The New 2010 Mac mini

By albertus,on June 22nd,2010%

Apple had a surprise announcement of the new Mac mini. It’s now in an all-aluminum case. The form factor is a bit shorter but wider than the previous Mac minis.

I was looking for a decent portable CD player to replace my old Sony Discman D-F411. Coupled with a pair of decent headphones like the Sennheiser PX 200,the sound quality was pretty good.

I use the portable CD player to sample CDs and to compare CD sound quality to digitally compressed audio (MP3s,AACs). . . . →Read More:Searching for Portable CD Players (aka Discman)

By albertus,on January 28th,2010%

Finally,it’s official:a tablet computer from Apple named the iPad. The iPad starts shipping sometime March of this year.
