04 OS X Hidden Gems
OS X Hidden Gems was written on January 29, 2010 by
Bryan Schuetz. I am writing this at 10:45 PM on the 30th
and already 50 people have commented on the
article and added tips.

05 Touch Cams 1.0
Independent developer Pere Orra has announced Touch Cams 1.0
for iPhone and iPod touch devices. Touch Cams is a webcams
viewer that lets you freely distribute the cams on as many
screens you may need. Touch Cams does not include a cams
directory, and instead lets you find webcams on the
web with its integrated web browser with Google search.

06 30 apps that should be on every Mac
This article at 'Mac-Essentials' has a pretty nice list
of Mac apps. I don't know that Apple would agree with all
of them. After all one listed is Flash, which Apple is
not allowing on the iPhone, the iPod Touch or the iPad.

07 Print from iPad
Last week Apple unveiled their latest creation, the iPad.
It's a tablet device that is basically a giant iPhone. One
of the best features is that virtually all iPhone and iPod
Touch Apps are compatible with this new and exciting
device! Which means that you can already print from
the iPad using the current version of
ActivePrint for the iPhone!

-------------------------------------------------------------------
08 in-page search for iPhone Safari
With more and more people using Safari on the iPhone to
browse the Web for work and play, the lack of in-page search
functionality in this popular mobile Web browser is baffling.
If one has ever used the 'Edit - Find' feature of traditional
Web browsers, one must wonder why it is not available
in Safari on the iPhone.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
09 Fined Tuned Mac
I used to frequent MacFixIt forums on a somewhat regular
basis. Now that I am not doing 'consulting' about Macs,
I have gone there very infrequently. I just Stumble
Upon a new site that according to an article there,
is replacing MacFixIt's forums.

10 Maleware DHL, UPS, FedEx Spoofs
The criminal shipper/courier virus cartel has launched a
new attack attempting to make you believe you must download
an attachment in order to claim a package.

11 Apple iPad
Apple has finally introduced the iPad. It's been talked
about and fantasized about for several years. We first started
predicting the 'iPad' (or iTablet, or iSlate) ever since the
first iPod Touch came out. Once we get our hands on one,
we'll see if it meets our expectations. For now, we'll
have to rely on Apple media info for the details...

14 Quotes: Stress and Learning
"Its not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it."
- Hans Selye
"You can learn new things at any time in your life
if you're willing to be a beginner.
If you actually learn to like being a beginner,
the whole world opens up to you."
- Barbara Sherr
