I hate ear buds for headphones. Let me get that out there first – I am biased against sticking things inside of my ears. Perhaps it is the sounds of my mother nagging me to stop putting things in my ear as a child. More likely, it is because they are just so uncomfortable and difficult to position so that I can hear decent quality sound. It is a big surprise to me to be so pleased with my new Apple In Ear Headphones.

After reading this review by Mark Spencer, recommending the HD 3870 specifically for improving Motion performance, I was on my way over to my favorite Mac accessory shop, Other World Computing, to order my upgrade.

Today, they introduced a new 24″ LED Cinema Display. It is a sharp looking upgrade, but one I will put off until the rest of the line is upgraded.
