Farewell, My Little Plastic Discs July 28, 2011 
I'm not sure that we can say Apple is the barometer for the consumer tech industry, but it's been either eerily prescient or a powerful catalyst in the demise of certain technological habits.

How Tablets Could Save the Desktop May 05, 2011 
The new iMacs have suddenly become deliciously compelling, and not because they now sport quad-core i5 processors that make them up to 70 percent faster than previous versions, graphics that are up to three times faster than before, or the new lightning-fast Thunderbolt ports. No, the new iMacs are much more tantalizing than ever before simply because I own an iPad 2.

Apple TV Deserves a Little Love March 23, 2010 
As the iPad frenzy continues to build to a frothy mess, I'm wondering if Apple is turning a corner and driving to the land of mobility -- with nary a glance in the rearview mirror to the living room it's leaving behind.

Get Ready for Apple to Murder the Status Quo One More Time February 16, 2010 
As near as I can tell, Apple is the ultimate tech industry disrupter. In recent memory, Apple's iPhone put applications in the hands of millions of consumers, wrenched a good measure of control out of the cold grip of cellular service providers, and sparked a fire of touchscreen smartphone competitors.

Glasses On, Wallets Out: 3-D's Coming to Blu-ray December 18, 2009 
3-D is definitely not just for cheesy drive-in movies anymore. It's done great box office with animated films, and that big 3-D sci-fi action movie "Avatar" coming out this weekend has won over a lot of early reviewers, at least on a technical level. But one of these days you won't have to go out to a theater to see 3-D movies -- you'll just have to shell out thousands of dollars for a state-of-the-art home system.
