Meet the dev videos:
History: In 2007-08, MacUpdate and partnering

MacBook and MacBookPro get keyboard update: 
Today Apple released a keyboard update for both the MacBook and the MacBook Pro notebooks. In regular Apple style, their release notes are not extremely profuse, ‘This MacBook and MacBook Pro firmware update addresses an issue where the first key press may be ignored if the computer has been sitting idle. It also addresses some other issues.’
Please note, this is a firmware upgrade that will install an application in the utilities folder that you will then, in turn, need to open and follow the on-screen instructions. For a list of MacBooks that may need the update, you can look at the Apple support note.
If you computer has been affect by these issues, or if you are just inclined to installing all Apple updates, you can get this update by opening Software Update (Apple Menu > Software Update) or by downloading the installer package from the Apple Support downloads site.
Starting today, I am beginning my first series. For the next several days, I’ll be reviewing some of the technology hardware I use. Today I’m writing about my 13″ White MacBook.I’ve had my Macbook for eight months now, and I’ve enjoyed almost every moment of it. I say almost because I really miss the silver metal finish of my previous machine, a 12″ Powerbook. Alas, functionality trumps fashion and finances.
Pros: Quite powerful, low cost (when bought in August with free iPod nano, printer and academic discount), included software (iLife & OmniOutliner).
Cons: glossy screen gets dirty fast, white case easily scratched and dirtied, heavy, black version costs extra just for the color.
I’d like to welcome you to MacAuthor. The title of this blog, MacAuthor, was Apple’s code name for what became MacWrite, the text editor that came with the first Mac. Having this as a title creates a great setting for this blog. First of all, this is a blog, so the idea of authoring matches. Second, most of my posts will be on the topic of technology, specifically computer technology in the form of Apple computers. So again, welcome and enjoy your stay!
