Deal of the Week | Nov. 16th, 2012
In honor of the upcoming face-off between Oregon State and the University of Oregon on November 24th, we’re offering Ducks and Beavers mouse pads for a low, low $1.99 each (four bucks off their normal price).
Bringing back iDisk (sort of)
With the introduction of iCloud at the release of OS X Lion, Apple discontinued iDisk, which was a part of the MobileMe suite of Internet services they had been offering.
iDisk gave you a “folder in the cloud,” a place to save documents for retrieval from any Mac, anywhere. It was simple to use—it was actually a menu selection in the Finder—and eminently useful. Those of us who used iDisk really miss it.
There is a workaround—and it’s both simple and free. There exists a hidden folder called Library, which contains another folder (“Mobile Documents”) with most of the functionality of iDisk. Here’s how to access it. (more…)
iPad minis begin trickling in…
iPad mini: The full-blown iPad that fits in one hand.
We once thought them to be a mythical creature, akin to the unicorn or the jackalope, but we’re now True Believers: the iPad mini is real.
And we even have some available for sale. Specifically, our Medford store has the 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB Wi-Fi models (only in black, and you may recall the LTE – AKA 4G – models won’t begin shipping until later this month).
Our Bend store has, at the time of this post, eight of the 32GB Wi-Fi models on hand — four in white, and four in black.
The iPad mini has been wildly popular and crazy-difficult to keep in stock. If you have holiday gifting plans built around one, you might want to act now. These are not going to be around for long.
UPDATE MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12: Our Bend location is down to two 32GB Wi-Fi models (both white). But our Medford location has all Wi-Fi models and colors in stock, with the exception of 16GB white.

Deal of the Week | Nov. 2nd, 2012
Week of November 2nd – 8th, 2012
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!
You know that horrible sinking feeling when you realize your iPhone or iPod is just about out of juice, and you don’t have your charger handy? Now, no matter where you are, you can keep your iOS device fully charged. A charger for home or office, a charger for the car, and a cable to fit either one. Works with most iPhones or iPods (except for the new iPhone 5 and the latest 5th-generation iPod touch, both of which use a new, incompatible 8-pin dock connector).
And at this price (just $7.99), how can you afford not to get one?
This offer runs from Friday, November 2nd to Thursday, November 8th, 2012, or while supplies last. Sorry, no rain checks.
Deal of the Week | Oct. 26th, 2012
Chances are, you have an iPod, iPhone, or iPad. If so, the chances are pretty good you’ve lost or worn out their USB cables a time or two. Apple charges $19 for their version of this cable. And the suggested retail for this compatible version is $14.99. When we first ran this offer back in June, the response was overwhelming. Customers kept asking if we could bring it back. So once again, this week you can stock up on these babies for a cool $2.99.
This offer runs from Friday, October 26th to Thursday, November 1st, 2012, or while supplies last. Please note these are the older 30-pin dock connector cables, and will not work with iPhone 5 or other devices using Apple’s new 8-pin connector. Sorry, no rain checks.
Whoa…full day for Apple at yesterday’s “a little more to show you” media event.
It looks like the pundits and the rumor sites got it mostly right.
Yesterday, Apple announced a Shrinky Dinked addition to their tablet family, the iPad mini (7.9-inch 1024 x 768 display versus the original’s 9.7-inch one, making for a pencil-thin form factor you can hold in one hand).
Apple also announced a new version of the 13-inch MacBook Pro, this time with a 2560 x 1600 Retina display. And they previewed a Kate Moss-thin revamp of the iMac (say goodbye to built-in SuperDrive, and hello to faster Intel Core quad-core processors, Thunderbolt, and an innovative hybrid storage system Apple calls Fusion Drive).
