So your little Scrooge McDuck just wants more and more expensive tech gear for Christmakwanzukkah to toss in his money bin? Well you might as well get him *good* stuff.
Michael Rose from The Unofficial Apple Weblog has written a gift guide for kids who love shiny silver and white Apple computers. And don't worry, it's not loaded with crazy expensive laptops and iPhones; the priciest item on the list is the iPod nano at $150.
The rest of the list is filled with excellent graphics and animation software aimed at kids, educational tools, non-brain-rotting games, and even an internet filter because trust me, your kids know where to find the porn whether you know it or not. For further reading, there's also a link to a larger, unfiltered list of kid-oriented Mac software from the mothership itself.
Whether you usually shop online or not, if anything this gives you a reason to visit the wonderland that is known as an Apple Store, if you're lucky enough to have one in your town. A certain blogger may have used this excuse to buy himself an iPhone as an early Christmas gift this year. He's enjoyed teaching his son how to use it, which means, "Sit there and watch while Daddy flips through pictures for you. Don't touch it. No, give it back to me! Give it back to me!"
