The advent of Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard signaled Apple’s moving on to solely supporting its new Intel architecture and casting aside the Universal Binary transitional phase.  What can Mac users do with their now-eschewed PowerPC Apples that are by now surely no longer covered under AppleCare?  Well, they can take those old PowerBooks and [...]

Vampire Weekend’s new video for “Giving Up the Gun” is like when your favorite band makes it big and then the label brings out some stars for the video to show that the band has indeed “made it”.  Some examples might be Zach de la Rocha doing a track with KRS-One or Jamie Foxx pulling [...]
