I first signed up because I saw really simple computer questions with no answers, and I just had to answer them. Today, my column still has more answers to questions about computers than anything else, but feel free to ask about anything. I can follow up on questions too.
I have been the featured columnist on 16 October 2005, 01 May 2006, 18 December 2007, 12 July 2008, 02 February 2009, 08 March 2009, 24 May 2009, 29 September 2009, 12 November 2009, 05 January 2010, 06 January 2010, and 26 April 2010.
By the way, here's a Facebook group for Advicenators users: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=3174690640

what makes aaple stuff better than everybody else? i mean the ipod and iphone and stuff you know what i mean? why is it just better?
It's technology for non-technical people. iPods and iPhones are simple to use. All the functionality in the world wouldn't matter if you can't figure out how to use it.
(Other similar products aren't necessarily harder to use, but the initial learning curve is often steeper, and that's what puts a lot of people off.
I can't comment on this point from personal experience as a so-called "digital native", but that's why I don't have an iPhone.)
Other than that, a lot of it is just hype. Also, when these products have problems, they are often difficult to fix.
The hardware specs aren't actually as good as similar products of other brands, but beyond a certain point, the difference becomes purely academic and doesn't improve the user experience significantly anyway.
