One of the three apps included with Apple’s iWork ’08 is NUMBERS. Numbers appears to be a spreadsheet app and it is that but like PAGES, it’s really a page layout & presentation app disguised as a spreadsheet app. Of course, most people will compare it to MSFT Excel. Excel is all powerful and the […]

Of course, iTunes will start to look into the iTunes Store for missing artwork as soon as you drag in new music files/tracks. The album artwork it does match up with your tracks are top notch. They are perfectly matched and 99.9% the best version resolution-wise out there. However, it can only find and “fix” […]
