Apple, You’re Too Good to Me

I had ordered a replacement Mighty Mouse last year to replace the one that came with my 2006 iMac C2D. Over the last few months the middle mouse button hasn’t been working, which is really odd considering that the scroll ball was still fine. I called Apple a couple of months ago to see if they would be able to do a ship-and-replace on the mouse, but sadly were unable to do that since the mouse was purchased separately from a computer (apparently, that is an Apple Care service).

Poll: Mac Pro or iMac?

As my primary computer, I’m using a first-generation iMac Core 2 Duo; I believe I got it around Christmas 2007. At the time, I had little cash to spend on a computer, let alone a Mac; needless to say it wasn’t “top-of-the-line.”

Even though my iMac has served me well over the last two-to-three years, it’s time for an upgrade; it’s been lagging when running my normal day-to-day tasks, and choking when trying to do anything beyond that.

iPhone 3GS and OS 3.0 (and the Palm Pre, Too)

The new iPhone looks pretty cool, but it really is a minor upgrade. Besides the few hardware improvements, such as the increased processor and ram, as well as the new digital compass, not much has changed. If there is one feature that I would want from the 3GS, it’d be the digital compass, if not only for the new tomtom app that will be coming out later this summer (although, it should still work with the 3G).

I am very excited for the 3.0 release, though. Spotlight, the iCal updates, and copy-and-paste are my most anticipated features. Just over a week to go before I can update my iPhone!

Speaking of all of this cellphone stuff, I had the opportunity to play with a co-worker’s new Palm pre, and I’ve got to say that it is a pretty slick phone. Palm really is giving Apple some competiton, and I hope Apple brings a good plate back to the table. Favorite feature of the pre: unified contacts/calendar/mail.
