Macworld was a bit of a letdown this year. Or maybe there’s just no topping the world-changing iPhone announcement from last year. This year the big announcement was the Air, an ultra thin computer. If a really thin computer would improve your life, this is great. It is pretty—and really, really thin. Keira Knightley is [...]

I have a problem I can’t solve on my own. When I moved from an older Mac to the new MacBook, I transfered the software, including BBEdit and Transmit. I had the software on CDs, reinstalled it on the new machine, got the proper codes, magic words, and licenses numbers. But each time I respond [...]
