You’re standing in the Apple store, looking up and down the row of MacBooks and MacBook Pros; one is silver and slightly bigger, and one is white or black…but when it comes down to your bank account, is silver really all that worth it?  The answer is a thousand times yes, and here are 5 reasons why.

Apple used to tout the prowess of the PowerPC processor as compared to Intel processors but once the Core Duo line came out, that was the end of PowerPC inside Macs as Intel processors were proven once and for all to be faster, a lot faster.  This has lead to many users running Windows through BootCamp or through Parallels but some hidden code suggests OSX might be capable of running Windows apps without Windows.

Apple users still using Tiger, the previous version to Leopard are discovering that the latest update probably isn’t worth installing just yet.  A few reports of system crashes and Macs refusing to boot after the update have come in.

We reported on some MacBook flaws earlier and if the scratching, dents, cracking and screen flickering flaws weren’t bad enough, this new one has to take the cake.  Some MacBooks ship with faulty hard drives which can cause you to lose the operating system, all your data and make restoration impossible.

The lawsuit involving Burst.com and Apple has now come to a close with apple paying out $10 million to settle the dispute over some patents.

The Mac user community raises hell every time someone even thinks a nasty or negative thought about a single Apple product, so lets see what kind of reaction this statement will elicit: the normal Apple MacBook is Apple’s mediocre product designed to hook new users on the Apple “experience” so they will later buy a machine that encapsulates both the experience and Apple design quality.

Zinio, a digital publishing company for magazines and books, announced a new service, which will allow Mobile OSX users to read a variety of free magazines on their iPod Touch and iPhone units.

I’m sure there are several utilities out there that allow you to batch rename files but how many of them look similar to iTunes or have that “just so” functionality that iTunes users enjoy. Look no further than TvTaggr.

For those of you with hacked Mobile OSX units, your choice of emulators is no longer limited to the NES variety. You may have noticed gpSPhone.app in Installer recently, but it has nothing to do with GPS or calling.

For you bloggers out there who have been struggling to add posts to your sites via Safari on your iPhone, the struggle is now eased.  A new Wordpress plugin streamlines the interface for iPhones so you can quickly and simply post directly from your iPhone.
