Rainbow of Opportunity

Jessie Atkin posted a new blog on Digital Landing! Read up on the latest colors your Macbook can be.

The greatest deign jump forward in Macintosh history, in my opinion, were the jewel toned iMac originals. While the Mac has obviously moved onwards and upwards with slimmer stylings, the idea of the personalized color pallet has never quite died.

In that respect Speck Products has recently released a new line of hard plastic casings for the new Macbooks. The color options have never been as diverse as they are now: Clear, red, green, aqua, purple, pink, and orange (although orange is only for a limited time). The plastic itself is $50, but Speck cases have always been priced in that area. The cases are cool, but also protect your computer, which is a definite bonus.

Macs continue to gain popularity, especially on college campuses, it’d be especially nice to be able to pick your own out of any crowd.

Security Contradictions

Jessie Atkin posted a blog up on Digital Landing. Read to learn about the previously virus-free Mac.

Macs are supposed to be the safest computers anywhere, the myth goes that viruses can’t touch Macs. Today it seems like that might have changed.

Its been recently reported that the Mac Support section on apple.com now lists anti virus software as a suggestion to secure your computer. This is a very new development (and it doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence). Are Macs losing their touch?

I have yet to decide if the dollar for dollar investment is worth buying extra virus protection for my computer, especially when in store advice doesn’t always match that posted online. It can’t hurt anything but your wallet, but is it really necessary?
