Get Your Gadgets in Gear For Back to School
I can't believe I'm already talking about heading back to school. It feels like just yesterday I was waxing poetic about beach gadgets, and here I am talking about which ones to toss in your new Fall bag. Your very stylish bag I'd expect, much like the Hayden-Hartnett Ibiza ($200) number that I just can't get enough of.
New MacBook Airs at WWDC!
What could you want to hear about next, after the announcement of juiced up, lower-priced MacBook Pro at WWDC? How about its baby brother?
"To complete the picture," Philip Schiller said, the MacBook Air is also receiving a price cut.
Cameron Diaz Is Wired With a MacBook Air and a Kindle
I'm so used to seeing Cameron Diaz with her BlackBerry that I had to do a double take when I realized the actress was spotted holding a laptop — an actual MacBook Air and a first-gen Kindle — today in New York City. She must have wanted to show off the gadget goods because we all know her oversized handbags would easily hold her wallet, cell, day planner, a Kindle and a teeny weeny Air. Though, I must say, the sweater matching the laptop and Kindle case is pretty geek chic.

Yesterday, PetSugar asked me a great question — how can she extend the life of the battery in her new MacBook Air? I gave her some of my "battery-saving" tips, but I didn't know if her notebook should be plugged in all day when it's turned off (and fully charged) — something she was concerned about, and something I do all of the time. Keep reading to find out the answers to some of the most popular MacBook battery conundrums.
Would You Rather: MacBook Air or MSI X320?
We've heard this all before: MSI introduced an ultralight and portable laptop at CES yesterday that is touted to be an "Air Killer." Humm, I'm not so sure about that just yet, but it is a 2.9 pound, 1.98 centimeter package with a 13-inch widescreen (16:9) display (virtually a Macbook Air clone), so it's sounding pretty good so far.
What's the biggest jaw dropper about the MSI?
Dexim Helps Your MacBook Air Breathe a Little Easier
We all know that the drawback to owning the ultra-portable MacBook Air is its lack of ports —just one USB port is all you get with that baby. So when I saw the Dexim booth at Macworld, I knew they were onto something. The AV Dock Station is not only a place to charge and play your iPod, but it's also a USB hub that allows you to plug a few more things into your computer, like say, that USB Mini Fridge you've had your eye on.
