Apple - Support - New advanced search available
Apple released some more advanced search features for its discussion forum. These should help a lot:
We have just released a new version of the search engine for our support site. This new version includes some enhancements to search functionality, including new post-searching product filters and the ability to pre-filter by product, document type, and whether to include archived content. Plus, basic boolean operators (AND, OR, and NOT) can be used in searches as well as quotation marks to construct complex search statements for targeted results.

Apple’s RAM prices finally come out of the clouds. Mostly.
The company’s been known to charge way too much for RAM upgrades straight off the factory floor. I’m not positive, but for comparison, I’m pretty sure Apple used to charge around $250-300 to upgrade a MacBook from 2GB to 4GB. The new MacBook and MacBook Pro both use much faster 1066MHz RAM (most notebooks, including the previous MacBook model still on sale for $999, are at 667MHz), so $150 to make the same aforementioned upgrade isn’t bad. It isn’t ideal, especially in the face of decent 4GB RAM kits selling for around $140, but it’s much, much better than before. For another comparison, it looks like Dell charges $100 to move from 2GB to 4GB in its current Inspiron model, though FWIW, that machine is on 667MHz RAM.
These lower RAM upgrade prices also apply to the Mac mini and iMac, though upgrades for the Mac Pro are still ridiculous. Moving from 2GB to 4 costs $500. 8GB is a whopping $1,500.

The Ars Technica Ultimate Road Warrior Guide: Page 3
The Ars Technica Ultimate Road Warrior Guide: Page 3:
Apple’s portables are what Ars recommends to anyone going out on the road; almost all of our staff are MacBook converts at this point. There, we said it. Just go buy a Mac, and if you don’t want a Mac, buy a netbook.
I’ve seen some of the most recent conversions in the last year I’ve been at Ars. It’s been interesting to watch, especially since we’re a pretty critical bunch. Most of us may use Apple machines, but we all have healthy lists of things that we would love to bug an engineer about. I don’t think Ars readers would have it any other way.

Apple Announces Last Year of Christmas
Funny and quick response to today’s unfortunate news that January’s Macworld will be Apple’s last. It’s becoming harder to justify the expense of showing at a trade show, especially with all the attention Apple gets through its retail stores and the Internet, but a rough economy only compounds a company’s need to focus its spending.

Clever trick, Apple. If a customer visits a URL for a previous generation iPod, say, the apple.com/iPodmini, Apple redirects visitors to its “Which iPod are you?” page instead of throwing a worthless error page.

Playing with Storytlr: My Cupertino trip for iPhone OS 3.0
I’m experimenting more with Storytlr, a clever service that lets you group all the photos, tweets, links, and other content that you create around the web into a “story” about a specific event. You can hide certain items if they don’t pertain to the story, and you can pick a photo to be the “cover.” The first thing I noticed when putting together this story: I should have taken a lot more photos. Too bad it was all kind of a blur at the time.
Let me know what you think.

Craig Hockenberry proposes a "Front Row To Go" device instead of an Apple netbook
The most lucid, believable dismissal of—and alternative to—an Apple netbook that I’ve seen yet, penned by Iconfactory’s Craig Hockenberry.
Update: Turns out Hockenberry published this in March. Amid this escalating flurry of “Apple netbook” conjecture, though, it still stands as the most sound.

I love Nelson’s body language when showing off some of the iPhone 3G S features in Apple’s new Guided Tour. Take his VoiceOver demo, for example, which starts around the last half of minute 5.
At 6:07, Nelson asks the iPhone: “What song is this?” But he moves and smirks as if to say “BOOYA PRE, ANDROID, BLACKBERRY, AND SYMBIDORK! WHAT YOU BITCHES GOT NAO?!”
