Headphone choice is very personal. Some people opt for sophisticated, audiophile-approved $300 earbuds, while others pick up the cheapest pair possible so it doesn’t hurt so much when they’re lost or broken. And some want their earbuds to have little blinking lights. Of course they do.

MacHighway Easy

There’s nothing like a bold statement to get our attention, and Chris Graves, president of Mac-centric Internet host MacHighway, makes this one: His company is “presenting [its] services as an alternative to MobileMe, as opposed to a replacement.” We take his nuanced wording to mean that MacHighway Easy lacks the full features of Apple’s option, but could still serve the same purpose for some customers by providing email accounts, website hosting, and file-server storage. The service even includes a domain name and other features beyond MobileMe’s scope. But since MacHighway is inviting the comparison, we’ll have to ding it for the areas where it can’t match MobileMe: ease of use, and iCal and Address Book syncing.

Verbatim Store 'n' Go USB Drive

Flash drives are easy to use and lose, potentially making your personal files anybody’s business. Verbatim tackles this problem with the Store ’n’ Go, a USB flash drive with password protection. But the drive’s security may be too inflexible for some users, and its software has annoying hiccups.

Bose Quiet Comfort 15

The worst part about airplane travel is, well, the plane. Besides being cramped, crowded, and short on any decent snack foods, they’re also noisy. So noisy that it’s difficult to make the hours zip by more quickly by revisiting your favorite albums on an iPod or watching a movie on your MacBook. Bose’s new Quiet Comfort 15 headphones are made for just these moments. The active noise cancellation helps block out background noise, and Bose’s considerable audio experience brings you a clean-sounding set of cans--with a couple of drawbacks, however.

Hyperbolic Software iTunes Dupes Barrier

Queen’s ubiquitous “We Will Rock You” is a tune that will always rock the sixth-inning rally, but when it’s on repeat for 25 minutes because of duplicate copies in your iTunes library, it’s time to do some spring cleaning. iTunes Dupes Barrier helps you quickly seek out and destroy duplicate tracks, and it’s a bit more flexible than iTunes’ built-in functionality.

If you’ve never experienced the sinking feeling in your stomach when you realize your laptop has been snatched, we hope you never have to. The best defense is still to never leave your ’Book unattended, but if you absolutely have to, a theft-resistant bag like PacSafe’s InfoSafe can help keep it out of the clutches of evil.

The Movies Superstar Edition

If you don’t mind a game that uses chest size as an indicator of success and happiness (we certainly don’t), The Movies packs a ridiculous amount of depth and replayability that’ll reel in gamers, creative types, and machinima fans. (Ma-shin-a-wha? It’s animation created by a 3D graphics engine, usually one from a videogame.)

Every day, we wish iCal could do something that our Palm IIIx did in 1997. There’s a Palm calendar app called DateBk, and it has a feature called Floating Events. The idea is that incomplete to-do items would “float” to the next day, so if you forgot to do something, it wouldn’t get left behind on your calendar as the days marched on. The fact that BusyMac’s BusyCal brings that crucial feature to our calendar makes us do a little happy dance, and that’s only scratching the surface of this terrific app.

Motorola Droid

In the year 1 B.iP. (Before iPhone), all a smartphone was expected to deliver was the ability to email on the go, sort of browse the Internet, and maybe have two or three simple games to help pass the time. Smartphone OSs were updated with the same frequency as presidential elections, and the idea of one of those devices playing nice with your Mac was laughable. Of course, once the iPhone hit the market, smartphone makers scrambled to catch up. The Motorola Droid is a prime example of that scrambling attempt to dethrone the iPhone as the king of smartphones.

Don’t panic, but one way or another, data loss and troublesome software updates will happen. Regular Time Machine backups help protect your Home folder from these hazards, but missing or messed up system files can prevent your Mac from running properly or even starting up. And who wants to perform tedious reinstalls? Snow Leopard’s installer is great and all, but seeing it once was enough.
