The New York Times has an interesting half page of photos of Macworld stylistas today. I especially like the yellow Mohawk…
Is MacBook Air the Cube 2.0?
Crave thinks so. “Overpriced and underconfigured” is how they (CNET) described the original Cube.
I’m the proud owner of a G4 Cube, which is currently in near-daily use here at gulker.com I love the design, though concur that it was expensive, which seems to be an Apple flaw - assuming that people will buy well-designed technology [...]
