Hey guys me and a buddy have recently acquired a domain and have done a complete overhaul. Most of the major stuff is done just a few minor tweaks but go check it out and feel free to leave comments and feed back.

I like it a lot, reminds me a little of the actual apple website which is good. the only thing that I might change is on the menu buttons the white text is a little hard to read against the grey background of the button. I would suggest either doing a black stroke around the white text instead of the drop shadow or use a different color text. I prefer the stroke idea.

One other thing I noticed after looking at it again is the top graphic is a little hard to read also, the mac universe kind of blends into the nebula you have in the background. maybe if you moved it 50-80px to the right of the text the center of the nebula wont blind out the text. or move the text to the right hand side of the page. or again, set the text off with a stroke around the lettering. plus that google ad is a little out of place too. I would do a clean graphic top. the menu, then the ad under the menu. kind of like what is ^^^ up there.

For some reason I see that site becoming huge and the two of you earning a good bit in ad revenue.

I dont have the text issue but thanks for mentioning it and i will try looking at it on a couple different displays. We grabbed the url for quite cheap actually the kid that had it before was using just a generic wordpress theme and I don't think he ever got around to actually doing anything with the site so we asked him if he would give up the domain since we already have a server. Once again I really appreciate you guys checking it out.
