Here's your chance to tell Tera and Bambi what you need to read.
 Reading is FUNdamental. So are Macs. Usually, so are Mac users. We want things to work. We make informed decisions. Our decisions on what to write about are based on our experiences with Macs; what we think you want to read. It's only fitting to ask an obvious question from time to time-- regarding Macs, what do you want to read about?

Apple's entry level Mac gets an "extreme makeover." Inside.
 I wanted one of these from the moment Apple CEO Steve Jobs held one up at the 2005 Macworld in San Francisco. But I waited. Last week I was ready but the Apple Store said 5-7 day wait. So I waited. Today I picked up my first Mac mini and you won't believe what I'm doing to it.

Web pages are not just for the web anymore. Try this on for size.
 Tera knows more about Mac utilities and great applications than anyone I know. She has this uncanny sense for what makes a good "Mac only" application. You open up something new and click around and it all just falls into place. I felt that way about Comic Life. This web page design application is the same. They guys who make this just "get it."

Mac nemesis Dvorak signals end of Microsoft empire.
 I love this business. There's always something new. Things change. Surprises abound. Former Mac user and writer turned Mac nemesis John Dvorak says Mac OS X is better than Windows and the Microsoft empire is grumbling. How? Assaults by Google, Apple, LAMP. He forgot to mention Redmond's internal decay, but, hey!

How hard can it be? Really hard. Chronos to the rescue. And Bambi.
 I just want to print a fracking mailing label. How hard can that be? People do it every day. I've done it. Maybe. It's been awhile. 10 DVDs. 10 DVD/CD mailing envelopes. I need 10 mailing labels to go with 10 addresses. Life should be so simple and easy.

Mac applications are trying to get out. Little Snitch stops them.
 You never know what's going on inside your computer. Today's major applications "phone home" to link up with the publisher via your Internet connection. Most of the time, you won't even know that the application has connected to the publisher's web site; perhaps sending important information-- information you want to keep private. Applications "snitch" on you more than you know. No more, thanks to Little Snitch.

 Mac OS X comes with a rich variety of applications to enhance your computing experience. From the iLife suite of applications to browsing, the Mac is loaded and ready. iLife alone is responsible for many new Mac customers coming from the Windows world.

Utilities you'll love on OS X. How about the no-so-favorites to avoid?
 Mac utilities come in all shapes, sizes, prices, and utility. Many utilities are very good, some are great, many are unncessary (although they may work OK). Here's my view of two great Mac utilities that I use, and two of the worst ever (yes, they work, but they don't do anything important).

iPhoto is better at sharing, holding, showing but not at printing.
 Some Mac applications have improved to the point where there's not much that they need. iPhoto, a part of the iLife suite and free on each new Mac, is good at storing photos, sharing photos, but not at printing photos. iPhoto needs Portraits & Prints.

PHP, MySQL developer of Content Management Systems use Macs.
 Yes, we have a bias. For some odd reason, the staff at Mac360, as with many Mac users, like things that work well. So it is with the content management system we use to power the site. The developer, pMachine, uses Macs to make it work. Imagine that. Here's why:
