ATPM 13.08

The August issue of About This Particular Macintosh is now available. In this month's Bloggable, Wes makes sure to avoid coverage of "the largest technology premiere since the launch of Windows 95", which would be the debut of the iPhone. Well, he almost avoids it, but does feature a round-up from the blogosphere concerning the WorldWide Developers Conference, the continuing chase to unmask Fake Steve Jobs, and the tale of Photoshop's birth. Mark, meanwhile, has found a great benefit in the .Mac service over what he's been getting from his local broadband provider. Paul delivers a well-rounded meal of web sites for your browsing digestion, including subway maps, fast food ads versus reality, and a digitally-reproduced manuscript of Portuguese sonnets. Part of getting to the next action in GTD is processing. This month, Ed takes a look at processing reference material, which can play an important role in exactly what action you'll choose. In the latest Photoshop for the Curious, Lee offers a resolution tutorial. (That would be screen resolution. Conflict resolution...well, that's another publication.) This month's desktop pictures are courtesy of staffer David Thompson, and feature scenery from a recent motorcycle trip through parts of Texas and Utah. Cortland finds himself in a spot of trouble with the fuzz, while Angie is paid an unexpected visit. Meanwhile, evil plans are afoot to acquire the Cortland OS. Andrew enjoys some screen time thanks to El Gato's EyeTV Hybrid, while Frank Wu offers a double-dose of MagSafe adapters--the Portable Power Station from Battery Geek, and Mikegyver's MagSafe 120w AC/DC Car/Airline Adapter--for MacBooks and MacBooks Pro. Finally, Linus finds learning fun with Travelogue 360 Paris. I kind of wish my son was older so he and I could play this game together. As usual, this issue of ATPM is available in a variety of formats for your reading pleasure.
