ATPM 13.07

The July issue of About This Particular Macintosh is now available. Ellyn kicks things off by noting how the Internet's managed to let us support our servicemen and women in ways that wouldn't have been possible in wars past. In this month's Bloggable, Wes has a round-up of posts on--what else?--the iPhone. Mike laments the pains of the tech upgrade cycle, but looks forward to what the future may bring. Mark offers his "furs thoughts" on Mac OS X Leopard, based on the information recently released at the Worldwide Developers Conference. As he looks forward, Mark also looks back, noting how old technology, while great at the time, may not be so great in the future when we need it once again. Ted returns with an ATPO of a different sort, comparing past WWDCs, as well as Apples and oranges, with today's. Lee delves in to some of the cool stuff one can do with Photoshop with layer effects, while offering the acquisition saga of his latest tech toy, a new MacBook Pro. Yours truly has an acquisition saga of his own, as I relate my tale of iPhone hunting. This month's desktop pictures are courtesy of ATPM reader Forrest Brown, and feature Crowders Mountain, North Carolina. "Uncomfortable" is the word of the day for the Cortland crew: at the office, on the dance floor, or in MySpace. No one is having a good time on this particular night, well, except for maybe Steve. Qaptain Qwerty interviews the guy waiting for One More Thing™. Linus plays around with Crossword Express, while Frank Wu puts the i-Volution Shell, a carrying case for MacBooks, through its paces. Lee's impressed with the PocketDock AV, and Paul takes Redline for a test drive, though I think we need to talk about those gas receipts he submitted for reimbursement. As always, ATPM is available in a variety of formats for your reading pleasure.
