How-Tos: How to Make Windows and Mac OS Play Nicely Together
About nine months ago, I acquired a 13-inch MacBook Air. At that point, the first Ultrabooks had been announced but were not yet shipping. Even so, I might have waited, except that the Ultrabooks I'd previewed to that point seemed uninspired--with clunkier hardware than the Air offered and various odd compromises.

How-Tos: Bugs & Fixes: Problems pairing iPhones to Bluetooth audio systems
If you have an iPhone, but your car's audio system doesn't have Bluetooth support, stop reading now and go update your system. The technology is that good.
