There seems to be a lot of chatter online these days regarding Apple’s intentions for the future of the Mac in light of the meteoric rise of i-devices such as the iPad and the upcoming iPhone 4. Others are discussing the role the iPad might play as a notebook replacement device. I think that both of these topics miss the point that the Mac and the iPad (along with smaller siblings, iPhone and iPod Touch) both fill needs and niches.

Another Sunday, another workday. There’s a certain point where I pack myself a digital lunch bag and relocate to someplace very public to continue my work.

Review – Hypermac External Battery for the MacBook Pro
I recently ordered and received a Hypermac external battery to use with my 13″ Macbook Pro. The battery I purchased was the 100 Wh model.

Screen Sharing and the iPad
I have been looking for a good app for connecting to the computers on my home network from my iPad. There are a number of choices in the iTunes store such as LogMeIn Ignition, as well as some others. Most of them are apps that cost between 20 and 30 dollars – not outrageous, but expensive enough that you want to make sure you make a smart buying decision.

I am trying to get use to using the onscreen keyboard with the iPad The biggest problem I seem to have is that I keep missing the space bar so I invariably have words that run together. I wonder if I was using the Apple iPad case that allows it to be propped up – would that make a difference?
