There are several ways to get files between two Macs: 1. Target Disk Mode (Thunderbolt).  Very fast, but the cable is expensive. 2. Target Disk Mode (Firewire).  Fast, but the latest iMacs don't...

Photography is about tradeoffs and compromises.  You've just discovered that if you drastically cut down the amount of light that hits the sensor (f/22 admits only 1/64th as much light as f/2.8)...

You're saying that you would accept a subscription plan for purchasing the software and its updates. Subscription as in "magazine subscription", where if you stop subscribing, you keep everything...

Wireless printers typically use WiFi, instead of proprietary transceivers that plug into USB ports.  As for keyboards, sometimes they use the scheme you describe, and sometimes they use...

I would have expected the main differences to be as follows: 24-inch iMac - Matte IPS screen; lower resolution than the others. 27-inch iMac (2012) - Glossy IPS screen, reduced reflectivity...

They do make special efforts to ease transitions - just not special efforts to make it easy to run really old software forever. When Apple went from 68K Macs to PowerPC Macs, they provided a 68K...

It's the old mainframe and minicomputer "software rental" model – the one that we thought personal computers had changed for the better.

One of the firms that followed this model charged customers...

I buy music, and I don't fit any of your three categories.

1. I know computers well enough to program them; not just enough to run programs that someone else has written. So I could find out "how...

Time Machine stores a series of "snapshots" of each file.  This may not include EVERY change you save to the file because (a) there is a limited amount of space on the backup drive, and (b) Time...

Then why does every iPod, iPad, and iPhone that has ever been made play non-DRMed MP3s and non-DRMed AACs?  Why do most of them also play non-DRMed WAVs and AIFFs? Why does iTunes include software...

You'd be better off to buy a copy of Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to do the backup.  Either of these can be used to do incremental backups – so that the second, third, etc. time that you do...

One could go for LOLCats style captions (complete with large block letters and perhaps also bad puns), e.g., "Boys' Club - Gulls Not Allowed"

So – to take one example – when did they get rid of their video game department?

Consumerist: Sears Dishwasher Includes Free Live Snake, Customer Is Unhappy For Some Reason

There's a detail that you left out from your summary, but that Fox News included in theirs. This was a pool slide.  Wouldn't that mean that it is supposed to dump you into the water (where going in...

Crop a copy down to just the gull, and as much of the pelican on the top left as you can show without bringing in the pelican on the bottom left.  (That will have the effect of cropping off the...

Internal SSDs were a custom-order option on the mid-2010 27-inch iMac.  Full-speed connection to external SSDs became possible with the mid-2011 addition of Thunderbolt.

From Apple's chart, it looks like the last MBPs that can run some version of Snow Leopard are the "Early 2011" ones; you could cross-check with MacTracker to be sure.

All of the Retina MBPs first shipped with Lion or Mountain Lion, so Snow Leopard doesn't support them.   Apple - Mac OS X versions (builds) for computers   It might be possible to buy a copy...

The OP's camera doesn't have built-in CLS Commander support.  From DPR's review: "Advanced Wireless Lighting when using SB-900, SB-800, SB-700 or SU-800 as commander and SB-900, SB-800, SB-700,...
