MAC TREAT #63: Hidden Uses of Arrows in iTunes
In later versions of iTunes, little arrows appear next to songs when they’re highlighted. Normally, when you click on these arrows, you’re directed to the iTunes store where you can browse related albums and songs.

El Gato EyeTV Hybrid
This past Tuesday, I had a “wow cool!” Mac moment. Like most “wow cool!” moments, it actually began as a conundrum. For an election night party, I needed a second television. I have a TV room with a nice wall-mounted HD television, but this room was simply too small to accommodate all my guests. However,…
