Review: 27-in. quad-core iMacs 'worth the wait'
When Apple announced new iMacs last month, it delivered the first ever iMac to offer a quad-core processor. The Core i5 and Core i7 quad-core machines were not available right away. But the wait is over, and the Core i5 and Core i7 27-inch iMacs were worth the wait.

Elgan: Four things you need to know about Apple
Here are four things that Apple believes that explain the unexplainable.

27-inch Core i5 iMac (with Core i7 option)
When Apple announced new iMacs last month, it included a major step forward amid the subtle-but-welcome refinements in most of the models: the first ever iMac to offer a quad-core processor. The new high-end 27-inch iMacs are the first to use Intel's Core i5 and Core i7 quad-core processors, and they were not available at the time of the announcement.

Google's Chrome OS stands to make waves
Google is ambitious, there's no question about that. It has both the privilege and necessity of being so and, given its position as a major player in multiple facets of the technology arena, it's got resources and opportunities that most other companies can't hope to match.

Bugs & Fixes: LaunchBar causes an unexpected surprise
Step 1: Take one of the best utilities ever created for the Mac; one that I use every day. Step 2: Enhance its latest version with a promising new feature. What do you get? Not necessarily what you might expect.

Peek inside folders, files with FolderGlance
I previously covered FinderPop, a great utility that, among its myriad features, lets you see what's inside a folder in the Finder by simply right-clicking on that folder--you get a hierarchical menu of its contents.
