    eye tracking software

    My twin also has a muscle disease like me. I saw him using our big family iMac the other day. He can type fine, albeit slow, but the thing that slows him down is moving his hand over to the mouse and then back to the keyboard again. It was painful to watch. Are there products out there that can...

    MacBook Pro Late 2013, CPU temperature readings stuck at 35°C

    I just repaired the power input part of my MacBook Logic board and after turning on, I found out that the CPU temperature sometimes doesn't work. What could be wrong with my MacBook and am I able to use it for another 1-2 years because I'm worried that some components are starting to fall apart.

    Mac Book Pro 2016 Screen Issue

    Need some advice! My 2016 MBP has started showing thin horizontal lines in one corner (see pic). Ran a diagnostic on it and it came up with nothing. Any ideas what this could be and how fast it progresses, since I won't be able to bring my Mac in to service for a few weeks.

    Why is iMac prone to freeze regardless of new HDD and fresh installation?

    I have a 20" model a1224. It's been stored (indoors) for years now while I have moved on. At some point (when already no longer the main computer) it started having occasional problems with freezing already right after startup. At some point it wouldn't boot at all or it would get stuck onto the...

    Hardware Smardware

    I have been using a Mac in some form or another for years. And they have always had a model that I could get excited about when I was looking to upgrade. But I am hugely disappointed by the total lack of a 'reasonable' option in the current market. First, almost all of the current categories...

    Concept: iMac for Apple Pencil

    I have always loved iMac, it’s my favorite computer since I first got it in 2007. But lately there’s has been lackluster updates from Apple. Nothing that quite captures one’s imagination and attention as the white candy iMac did back in the day. Not to even talk about the lamp. That was crazy...

    Help! My G4 iMac has fallen and can't get up!!!

    After watching the not-as-helpful-as-I-thought YouTube videos on the subject, I, a relative newbie to hardware hacking, decided to clone the hard drive of my elegant-but-limited 1.25 MHz 20 inch iMac G4 to a 120 GB SSD I had gathering dust, then took it apart to swap the drives. I'd like to...
