Who to trust on product reviews?
I’m shopping for a new, bigger hard drive for my younger son’s xmas gift. Found this one: Anybody know if it’s any good? The price ranges for hard drives of this size only fluctuate about $10 either way, so price isn’t all that much of a concern. I just need to know if it’ll last. Read both very good and very bad reviews on Amazon, which makes me skeptical. Who to trust? Share and...

There are enough other things to tweak when making a custom website. The mechanics of the site just isn’t one of them. Share and Enjoy:
The dream machine 27-inch iMac has started shipping
According to AppleInsider, Apple has started shipping! I’ve been bouncing back and forth between which machine I want when I upgrade – the biggest, best iMac ever, or another Mac Pro. I’ve had my current G5 duo for several years. I got it just before Apple switched to the Intel chip. It’s still able to run everything I need to run, but not at the speeds that I’d like. Plus my monitors are aging and need to be replaced. My initial instinct was to go with the tower, since it’s upgradable, but then it occurred to me… the only upgrades I’ve put in my current tower have been a second hard drive and additional memory. The lowest price tower retails for $2500, and the highest (standard) iMac retails for $2000. Plus,...
