    MCE OptiBay Hard Drive for MacBook Pro and PowerBook G4

    You can replace the optical drive on your mac with more storage thanks to optidrive. That could be a nice upgrade at some point in the future! And just to show how thoughtful they are, each one comes with a firewire enclosure for your optical drive so that you don't lose that as well!

    Quoted: The new MCE OptiBay Hard Drive was created for those users who need as much hard drive space as possible inside their MacBook Pro or PowerBook G4. Period. The MCE OptiBay Hard Drive replaces your internal SuperDrive or Combo drive with a high performance hard drive resulting in unheard of capacities in laptop hard drive space for all your projects... digital video, music, photos, etc. Two bootable hard drives inside your system open up a whole world of freedom and flexibility never before experienced in a Mac laptop... Scratch disk/System disk, RAID configurations, "System-dedicated" drives, and more. Plus, each OptiBay Hard Drive includes a portable FireWire enclosure for your SuperDrive or Combo drive so you'll still be able to use it anytime you want for loading system software or applications, as well as burning, playing, or ripping CDs and DVDs!

    Review: Apple's wireless Mighty Mouse - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

    This is the new bluetooth Mighty Mouse from Apple. I was dorking around with one in the Apple Store the other day and feeling like a moron because every time I clicked something I got a drop-down menu. I thought that thing was broken and then a helpful employee mentioned to me that this mouse actually has right and left click even though there are no buttons! That little tip seemed to help (but I still feel stupid).
