Taking Stock of the MacBook Updates
Im hoping this little article clears out any of the lingering confusion you might have. To start with, Apple to equip them with faster processors and a 3MB shared L2 cache, more RAM and a larger hard drive. The best configured black MacBook now ships with a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive and an 8x SuperDrive. The second configuration is exactly the same except that it comes in white and has a 160GB hard drive. The base configuration of the MacBook (also in white) now comes with a 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB of RAM, a 120GB hard drive and a combo drive. Yes, it is 2008, dear friends, and the base model of Apples bestselling notebook (which retails at $1,099) still ships with a combo drive. Can we have a round of applause, please? Apple is trying hard to keep thinking different here - the least they deserve is some appreciation.

Start your own Podcast
The latest PowerBooks and desktop Macs (excluding the Mac mini and the eMac) offer audio-in jacks, so you plug the mike right into the computer. If your Mac lacks this port, you'll need to plug the mike into a USB audio interface such as Griffin Technology's iMic ($40). To get the best performance, Griffin recommends plugging the iMic into a self-powered USB hub instead of directly into a Mac. If you have an iPod, you can use Griffin's $40 iTalk voice recorder to record Podcasts while you're out and about. The iTalk plugs into the top of your iPod and records audio as a WAV file, which you can later download to iTunes or import into editing software. You can even go hands-free with the help of a clip-on mike such as Griffin's $15 Lapel Mic. Headphones You'll also want to plug a pair of headphones into your Mac so you can monitor your voice as you record.
Pet ID card makes it safer to travel with Fido, kitty
Dear Heloise: My husband and I have a 5-pound Yorkshire terrier who travels with us most of the time. Here are a couple of our own pet travel hints. We carry in our wallets a credit-card-size pet ID card that I designed on our home computer. The front has a picture of our dog, with her name, breed, coloring, gender and weight, and our contact information name, address, home and cell-phone numbers. On the back, I put other important information such as her microchip number and the toll-free number of the provider, her vet's name and number, and our adult daughter's contact information as an alternate in case of emergency. I also took one of the ID cards and fastened it to her travel crate. I enjoy your column and look forward to reading others' pet-travel hints. Kathleen Burns, via e-mail Kathleen, traveling with cats, dogs and other pets can be challenging and rewarding! When we take Cabbie, our miniature schnauzer, we always stay at pet-friendly motels.

I had a hard time getting to sleep last night. I was flipping around the tv and landed on ESPN. I figured that listening to more in depth coverage of Tom Brady's ankle would be tv's version of Ambien, it would help me get my zzzzs. However, I made one fatal flaw, one that many mortals in Greek mythology made when looking at a Gorgon, I took a peek at the scroll on the bottom of the screen. There were two categories, NFL and SANTANA. Much to my astonishment, the Twins had agreed to send Johan Santana to the Mets for a hamburger today (pending the Mets contract extension for Santana). Well, maybe not a hamburger, but the Mets package of Phil Humber, Carlos Gomez, Deolis Guerra and Kevin Mulvey. Mulvey, wasn't that Jerry called his girlfriend who's name he couldn't remember. Oh no, that was Mulva.
