Rig of the Week: The ModBook
Silly us. In our iPhone excitement, we forgot to post a Rig of the Week. Bad bloggers! This week's rig comes from tnkgrl, who has a ModBook of her own (or at least had a chance to visit with one). They were announced at Macworld in January, and were ...

TUAW Show Floor Showoff: OWC's ModBook

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak seems to be a lot more visible lately. First, he's been making bad web ads for SCOTTEVEST. Next, we received pictures of Woz whizzing from the deck of his Segway. He was fined US$700 for driving his Prius at 104 miles ...
Why a Mac tablet from Apple doesn't make sense
Laurie posted OWC's announcement of their upcoming ModBook Mac tablet just as I began rounding up commentary from some Mac notables as to why a tablet from Apple simply doesn't make sense. OWC's announcement indeed makes things a bit more ...
