Wrap Your MacBook in a BookBook
We've seen manila envelope cases, cases that look like desktop icons, and ones that look like they're ready for battle, but never have we seen a laptop case for your Macbook that looks like a real book. Well, until now that is. Meet the BookBook ($80) — a book for your 'Book if you will — that I came across on Gizmodo.
What Do You Think Apple Is Unveiling on Jan. 27?
After Apple did us a solid earlier today and confirmed the much-talked-about press event taking place on Jan. 27, there's been a flurry of speculations about what else could be revealed next week. Obviously, the Apple tablet is at the top of everyone's list, but a few Mac experts are wagering that it wouldn't be too far off to suggest that Apple could be showing off the next iPhone OS and iLife 2010, along with new Intel MacBook Pros, and possibly an update on MacPaint.
Liveblogging Apple's Jan. 27 Event — Stay Tuned!
I'm guessing that the invite in my inbox from Apple, asking me to "come see our latest creation," means that there is in fact an unveiling taking place on Jan. 27. Whether it be the much-rumored tablet or super-charged iMacs to be debuted, I'll be there front and center to bring you up-to-the-minute news on what Apple has in store.
Stephenie Meyer Geeks Out With Her Mac on Oprah
Did you happen to catch Oprah's big exclusive interview with Twilight's Stephenie Meyer on Friday? Since I'm gearing up for the New Moon premiere (this Friday!), I was excited to hear Meyer talk about the movie and was excited to learn any insider NM secrets before its big debut. Being a Mac-addict myself, I couldn't help but notice that Meyer is the proud owner of a 17-inch MacBook Pro — which by the way has a glossy screen, something I don't think I could get use to!
January Jones Goes Mad For Macs at LAX
I'm so used to seeing the cast of Mad Men interact with such awesome vintage tech that I almost didn't recognize January Jones in her natural state (you know, not as Betty Draper), and toting a laptop as she went through LAX security on Sunday. The amazing season finale of Mad Men was packed with lots of retro typewriters, phones, and office tech, but January takes it to the 21st-century off set with her shiny new MacBook Pro — a powerful alternative to the MacBook Air I'd wire her with.
Unfortunately, we have to wait until next year to see what's next on the Mad Men tech horizon, but in real life, a girl's gotta stay connected — even if her day job is to play a woman who doesn't know what a cell phone is .
Tech Spotting: Ashton Kutcher Is an Apple Addict
Tech-savvy Ashton Kutcher is certainly deserving of our celeb geek king title. What with his avid twittering habits, his new website projects, attendance at tech conferences, and love for gadgets, he certainly tops the list of celebrities who are connected in the tech scene.
On Wednesday, Ashton made a cameo on the hit show Diggnation at the Palms Casino Resort.

Apple Introduces New 15- and 13-Inch MacBook Pros
Right out of the gate, Apple introduces us to the new 15- and 13-inch MacBook Pros. Not only are these made in the same unibody aluminum case that the rest of the Mac lines are available in, but it's faster and still lighter than most models on the market and will keep you working longer than before: the new lithium ion batteries will last up to seven hours and 1,000 charges before the battery starts to show its age.
And with the new plumped up battery, the new MBP's will hold an up to a 500GB hard drive and 8GB of memory.
Tony's a Mac and Eva's a PC
During a recent trip to St. Tropez, Eva Longoria and husband Tony Parker were not only captured jet skiing and soaking up some rays, but the happy couple also managed to mix business with pleasure by squeezing in some laptop time. Now I already knew that Eva was a PC girl, but I didn't know that her hubby was an Apple lover: here she is with her black Lenovo ThinkPad whereas Tony is rockin' a MacBook Pro.
