Apple updated not one, not two, but all three of their desktop models today, announcing speed, storage, graphics, and other enhancements to the Mac mini, the iMac, and Mac Pro. As they typically do, prices remained the same (or went down) on all of the upgraded models. Perhaps most notably was the 24″ iMac now…

Macworld 2009: Some Pretty Cool Updates
Well, the keynote is over, and the announcements have been made (iLife ’09, iWork ’09, iWork.com, new 17″ MacBook Pro, and even a DRM-free iTunes!) And while there was no Steve… there were some pretty neat things. Check out the extensive video tutorials for both iWork ’09 and iLife ’09. Some really amazing new features…
No Steve Jobs = No Fun?
Today at 1pm EDT, Apple fans all around the world will be tracking the always greatly anticipated announcements to come from the keynote presentation at the annual Macworld Convention and Expo in San Francisco, CA. But this year, the keynote will be a bit different. And perhaps less highly anticipated than usual? No Steve Jobs….
Mac Tip: Repair Permissions
For some reason, this little feature in Mac OS X 10.5 Disk Utility (and previous iterations of OS X) keeps popping up as a solution lately. I thought perhaps readers of this blog might benefit from a little reminder, and quick tutorial for performing this routine maintenance task. First, what it is not. It is…
Apple: Spotlight on Notebooks
Apple is holding another event tomorrow, simply billed as “Spotlight on Notebooks“. As I’ve said before, I’ll refrain from any speculative comments re: what we might see, since I am now employed by Apple. I’ll be working there tomorrow, so I’m sure we’ll all be following the announcements as they come (as much as we…
Apple Event, Tuesday Sept 9th, 2008
Given that I am now employed by Apple, I will refrain from speculating on any of the product or service announcements that will be made, but this invitation went out from Apple this week, regarding an event scheduled for next Tuesday morning (local time) in San Francisco. Looking forward to seeing what they announce! (Believe…
Mac Game: Burger Shop
I found a cool game via a web link from Facebook, I believe. It’s a site that sells lots of games for the Mac, offering a free 1-hour demo of each. I saw this one called Burger Shop at #3 on their Most Popular list and decided to try it… it was a blast! I…
Energized
I got back just a while ago from my first shift at the Apple store. I was really looking forward to it, wondering just how it would actually play out. I know Macs, for sure, but I didn’t really know how thing go at the store. I knew I was going to tag along with…
Apple Retail = Me!
As you are well aware, if you have spent any time at all here at GregsHead.net, I am a big fan of all things Apple. I have informally been a “representative” for Apple for many years (often the number one resource for Apple info and assistance amongst people who know me) and was even officially…
Mac Trojan: Real Threat, or Website Traffic Generator?
I’m late to the party with this one, but it’s been busy around here… what can I say? So, last week there were reports that a genuine Mac OS trojan had been discovered “in the wild” (meaning, in the real world, affecting real Mac users). I checked it out (per the link above) today and…
