Some tax forms don't have much for software options either, so you end up doing a lot of manual calculations. I've never come across anything for OS X that will do 1065 (the equivalent of 1040 for LLCs, general partnerships, and a

I use a Mac Pro primarily, but I actually have a mouse, trackpad, and Wacom tablet attached. Each get used for the things they work best at with the trackpad getting the most use.

Probably CF cards. Most pro-level cameras have that as the primary card slot with some also offering a secondary card slot that is SD. Our cameras all do. The standard slot on regular cameras tends to be SD, though.

The demand for many of those trades largely follows the rises and falls of the housing market. I grew up with family in that industry and have seen both extremes of it. Right now, in this area, there is more demand than labor. Several years

The most significant thing you get from a large sensor is image fidelity. That is, the pixel data you get out of it is more true to the actual scene captured. Smaller sensors start to experience limitations in physics, of which noise is a m

I suspect it's more a problem of focus. Yes, Intel has slowed in the release of new processor architectures, but there are lines Apple has ignored and many other components (e.g., graphics cards) have continued advancing. I feel they&#
