by Scott McNulty (Jun 21st 2006 3:00PM)

I'm not much of a car guy, in fact I don't even have a drivers license (hey, I live in downtown Philly so I don't need a car), so it takes a lot to get me excited about cars. This Prius has overcome my apathy towards cars. A clever person has loaded ...

by Scott McNulty (Jun 5th 2006 6:00PM)

I have no idea what it equals but this guy wants to find out. Many people put Macs in their cars, for a number of reasons (though mostly it boils down to: because I can), the DeLorean Mac mini integration has one unique aspect to it: the screen. Actu...

Lap of luxury: the Mac mini Lexus

by Barb Dybwad (Feb 27th 2005 10:36PM)

If you’ve got a Mac mini, and you’ve got a Lexus, there’s no sense in not introducing the two. Mario E. of Miami, Florida was wise enough to pick up on this truism, and has worked himself up a very sweet in-car setup. It i...
