I’ve actually grown quite tired of hearing about sub $500 laptops from people who probably have no idea what that $500 gets them (or doesn’t, as the case may be).

Most Mac users don’t want a stripped-down, barely usable laptop – no matter what the price is. The MacBook Air is a powerful, light-weight laptop and gives you everything you need at half the weight of most laptops. If you think you need a “netbook,” think again!

But you’re limited to a flat display that doesn’t exactly “wow” anyone.

With one simple download, you can view your iPhoto collection on a visually stunning 3D wall, right in your web browser.

In my review at The Apple Blog, I show you how you can use the Cooliris plugin for Safari or Firefox (Windows or Mac) to view images contained in your iPhoto library, or anywhere else on your computer.
