<p>It’s no secret that Macbooks and their Pro brothers run hot, really hot. I even look at the Macbook Pro as one big heat sink due to it’s aluminum shell. There are a few ways to cool these machines down: turning the fans up, external coolers (which do very little), and external heat sinks. With an affordable application called <strong>CoolBook</strong> you can undervolt as well as underclock your laptop to not only gain battery life but keep burnt laps to a minimum.</p>

<p>Using your portable Mac outside during the day can be the most frustrating experience. Not only are you burning through battery life, with your display cranked to eleven, you’re left squinting to try and see anything other than black. Newer Mac laptops use <span class="caps">LED</span> backlighting which helps a bit but you can still be left squinting. A program normally used for night browsing called <strong>Nocturne</strong> will give you the ability to take your Mac outside during the day.</p>

<p>The road to becoming a <span class="caps">CSS</span> expert is long, winding and littered with the heaps of markup dumped in pursuit of the perfect styling rules.

<p>If you’re one of the many Mac users who watch television on a Mac then you’re most likely using Elgato’s excellent application, <strong>EyeTV</strong>. In case you have no idea what EyeTV is all about then let me sum it up: this program turns your Mac into a virtual Tivo, allowing you to record, rewind, and pause live television! Another feature allows you to easily remove unwanted commercials, yet the process can be time consuming. I found an amazing script that can automate this process and keep those annoying commercials out of your recordings.</p>
