What I thought was a minor issue turned out to be more when I ran Disk Utility and the message came back to back up important files and reformat the hard drive. Thus began the journey to start from scratch on my MacBook Air that was little more than a year old. Was I prepared for disaster?

Why can’t a new iPhone by any other name but iPhone 5 end up being a disappointment? The new iPhone 4S, which goes on pre-order after midnight October 7, 2011 for delivery on October 14th seems to have disappointed many and it comes down to not looking beyond the name and external appearance.
With today’s release of the next version of their next operating system, OS X 10.7 aka “Lion,” they are keeping their promise to release it to everyone in July. Summer is a great time to do the upgrade. The reason - it pretty much renders your computer unusable for up to 5 days after the install.
I have been very happy with my MacBook Air (2010) which I bought because the iPad isn’t enough sometimes when it comes to editing videos and preparing lectures. Despite my best efforts to keep it clutter free, 120GB got full pretty quickly. It was time for an upgrade of the internal solid state drive (SSD.) In this article, I describe the upgrade process in case others are thinking of doing the same thing.
Don’t let the high price fool you into thinking this is a top quality product. Yes, the sound quality was really good while it lasted and the full volume control, mic, and pause, skip functions are convenient but not if in the end you are getting a really poorly constructed crappy set of buds.
