That creative program suite is iWork from Apple.

Hello there everyone! It’s that time of the week for quick and handy Apple tricks. This week I’ve got one that is dear to my heart. As a lifelong gamer, one of my biggest qualms about being a Mac user is that the majority of my favorite PC games never make it [...]

It’s all about discs today, folks.
You know what’s snappy? Having a CD/DVD Superdrive on your Mac that is nothing more than a little slit on the side. It’s unobtrusive and stylish, and oh so fun to glide a disc into and wait for that moment when it grabs hold with its little motor [...]
