♦ Paulie's Words

1 vote

Playoffs Baby! After closing the season on a four game skid (although I still consider the Cleveland game a W) I was a bit apprehensive. After Game 1, all apprehension was absent. After the last official "W" of the regular season, a 101-94 win at home vs. Detroit, I remembered thinking, “Hey, we can play with these guys.” After Game 1, I know we can. What a game! The quick start was critical. Submitted by: Jim4767 - Visited 13 - Comments 0 - Write first comment

♦ Turn your iPod into a bookshelf stereo for $19.99 (after rebate)

1 vote	(Credit: Logitech)Remember the Logitech iPod AudioStation? First it was $50 (after rebate), then $29.99 (after rebate). Now you can scoop one up for a measly $19.99 (after...you know). Shipping will run you around $14, which seems steep given the price of the hardware itself, but your out-the-door total is still pretty low.

♦ Some MacBook Pros exhibiting vertical striping on displays

1 vote

If you have one of the new MacBook Pros (early 2008) and noticed some vertical display striping and graphic glitches, evidence is mounting that you may not be crazy after all. After picking up one of these machines with the 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT card, I began noticing these glitches myself. They typically appear after waking the machine from sleep, and only a restart seems to fix them. Submitted by: Jon1771 - Visited 4 - Comments 0 - Write first comment
