ATPM 14.03

The March issue of About This Particular Macintosh is now available for your reading pleasure. Wes has analysis and the roundup from the blogosphere on Microsoft's attempts thus far to acquire Yahoo!, as well as bits on the MacBook Air, a disastrous HP PC (is "disastrous" redundant there?), the iPhone, and Aperture. Mark notes Apple's approach to design, compared to others. Chuck takes a break from the normal workflow of Filemaking to look at what's new in FileMaker 9. Time warp with us back to the 1950s and 60s with ATPM reader Jennifer Curry's shots of automobiles in and around Havana, Cuba, from a trip she took there in 2006. Sorry, Marty, no De Loreans. Meanwhile, Lisa is history, and the Mudrix code dissolves to nothing as Cortland makes a huge sacrifice to save the woman he loves. But is that sacrifice enough to save Angie from Cortland's enemies in meatspace? Lee puts Microtek's ArtixScan M1 Dual Media Scanner through its paces, while Eric sees if LicenseKeeper can keep track of all those pesky software serial numbers every computer user tends to accumulate. Ellyn shoots a little pool with her Mac, but after finding it really hard to get the chalk off its case, she elected to shoot pool on her Mac, with MacPool. Chris tries to extend the wireless range of his PowerBook with Wi-Fire, while Linus reclaims some space on his hard drive with Xslimmer. As always, we get to the nitty-gritty of Mac and technology products so you don't have to! Every month, About This Particular Macintosh is available in a wide variety of formats for your reading pleasure, and this month is no exception: on the web; as an offline webzine; a PDF optimized for reading on your computer screen; or a PDF optimized for printing. On behalf of the entire staff, I hope you enjoy our work.
