Because this author is extremely tired of having to go through so much to just post a darned article for y'all to enjoy. That's why I tried out MarsEdit 3 on my Mac.

  Conspiracy theories galore! With one of Mountain Lion's coolest features being AirPlay functionality on Macs, many excited customers downloaded Mountain Lion expecting to connect their Mac to their external display wirelessly, via their WiFi connection and 2nd/3rd generation AppleTV. However, Apple is only making this available to certain Macs. Only Macs released in 2011 or later have the ability to stream movies and videos to their AppleTV sets via AirPlay. Customers started calling foul within hours of OS X Mountain Lion's release on the Mac App Store on July 25th. The general...

Where is OS X Mountain Lion Stored on Hard Drive? Where does the Mac App Store download Mountain Lion? There's a lot of confusion related to where OS X Mountain Lion is stored on your Hard Drive after it is downloaded from the Mac App Store.

Apple likely did this in order to preserve space on your...

We recently had a reader ask us. "Can my Mac use Airplay?" and thought that many of you may be wondering the same thing. One of the coolest features of Mountain Lion is the fact that certain Macs can now utilize AirPlay to wirelessly "project" what's on your display to your Apple TV. This is actually pretty nice because it reduces the headache of having to find a MiniDP to HDMI adapter to connect your Mac to a TV. Unfortunately, not all Macs running Mountain Lion will be able to use this cool new function. We decided to do a little digging and found this from Apple's website. AirPlay...

With the imminence of the cloud and the ability to just download Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store at any time - at first, there seems to be no use for this little trick. However, when your hard drive has failed or you need to do a quick reinstall of your operating system, you may not have ready access to the internet. Even if you do have access to the internet only 2011 (and newer) Macs have the ability to download OS X (Mountain) Lion directly from the Mac App Store without a fully functioning operating system. Having the Mountain Lion on a USB Flash Drive (or a partition on a hard drive)...

  Coming as an inevitable progression, Tiny Wings is finally available as a native iPad App! The original, hit iPhone App went through the roof in sales and popularity but there wasn't yet an iPad app - until just a few days ago. The breakthrough iPhone app now uses the wonderful screen real estate of the New iPad and provides a number of features over its iPhone companion. In retrospect, the theme and audio selections on Tiny Wings HD reminds me of Yoshi's Island from the GameBoy Advance and Nintendo DS. With a similarly innocent theme and plot line - there are some distinct...

Apple released the very popular Smart Cover, side by side with the iPad 2. Being a wonderful accessory to keep your iPad 2's beautiful screen protected - the Smart Cover undoubtedly became one of the most popular accessories for the iPad 2.
