The October issue of About This Particular Macintosh is now available for your reading enjoyment. If you haven't gotten enough iPhone news in the past month, or if you've just been vacationing in the Eastern Hindu Kush with Osama, Wes has a big round-up in this month's Bloggable. Speed is on Mark's mind, as is, um, more speed. Of a sort. And referencing the first in a certain series of science fiction movies many would know by name, but few will recall by the included reference. Lee delves in to one of Photoshop's premier features, layers, while Sylvester talks about your Mac's speed. (Was there a theme for this issue that no one told me about?) Matthew has a how-to for installing a cooling fan in our beloved Cube. (For the record, he installed it in his Cube, which is not the same as my Cube. We don't share a Cube. I was using "our" in a communal sense, as in all Cube owners everywhere. Oh, never mind...) Tim Allen--the photographer, not the actor (though that would be pretty cool)--shares with us some shots he's taken around the United Kingdom, including his home town of Kent, as part of this month's desktop pictures selection. The Usual Suspects it ain't, but to paraphrase Bill and Ted, "Strange things are afoot at Wieser Graphics" in this month's Cortland. Chris Lawson tries out a pair of iPod cases, the Claro, and the PodFolio, while Linus puzzles the ins and outs of Crossword Forge. Chris Dudar dives in to digital watermarking with iWatermark, while I am underwhelmed by DLO's TuneStik. Lee hauls around the Velocity Matrix Backpack, and yours truly reviews Apple's latest game-changing device, the iPhone. As usual, ATPM is available in a variety of formats, so you can read it however you choose.
