Bringing the Party With the Apple TV My absolute favorite thing about the Apple TV — and I am aware of its many talents — is its slideshow feature. That's because my boyfriend and I take a ton of photos, and the people in the photos are usually the attendees of our parties, so they get to reminisce about other events while enjoying a new one.
It's kinda scary how excited I get about iGoogle Themes. OK, you got me, it's all of Google's themed services that really make me drool. Well if you haven't found that perfect theme to personalize your iGoogle page with as of yet, Google has just announced that you can create your own theme.
With Google's new tool for designing your own theme, you can add and tweak images, include all of your favorite colors and preview your theme before it goes live on your site. And if you really love it (and think others would too), you can choose to publish it for the public to use as well!
I've seen one of Dee and Ricky's Lego accessories before — their Heart-Shaped Pin (rumored to have been worn by Kanye West) was mod and adorable, and I've almost fallen for their Lego belt buckles, seen here.

When you first receive your MacBook, make sure you fully charge the battery before use.
MacBooks use lithium ion batteries, which means they don't have to be completely drained to prevent the memory effect. Completely running them out actually reduces their capacity.
According to Apple, it's important to keep the electrons in the battery moving occasionally, but they do not recommend leaving your laptop plugged in all the time.
Basically, it's best to keep your battery's juices flowing. Therefore, if you use it on the bus on the way to work, then plug it in all day while at work, that's actually good for it.
