Apologies for this edition delay. Being on the SpamCop mail, makes
it difficult. About once a year a hacker gets through or a denial

11 New apps from developers outside the U.S.
About 45% of this week's news and press stream items came from
outside the U.S. We follow new stories of new or updated products for
Mac or iOS devices like iPad and iPhone for InfoManager stories and
references.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
12 Mac Day LA? Church of Mac? Church of Apple?
It's amazing what you find when you are cleaning up old links in
the web site. Both web sites have content leading back to the early
1990s. So far, 99% of the links have gone dead, or been hijacked by
porn sites or affiliate parked sites. On this day in 2008, we were
promoting "Mac Day" in LA. The web site is gone without a trace. Also
in this week of 2008 we wrote about "The Church of Mac" which promised
to be the ultimate Mac source. It's gone too. But in the process of
cleaning up dead links in the UGNN site, we also ran across The Church
of the Mac at Second Life, AND, The Church of Apple, another
WordPress blog claiming to be the 'one' source for Apple news, started
by Joe Giuliani. Except the last post seems to be January 26th ...
they do have a Facebook page . . . the last post was September 2013.

13 Quotes: Ethics and Morality
The most important human endeavor is the striving for morality in
our actions.
Our inner balance and even our very existence depend on it.
Only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity to life.
-- Albert Einstein
The world is not dangerous because of those who do harm
but because of those who look at it without doing anything.
-- Albert Einstein
The more prohibitions you have, the less virtuous people will be.
The more weapons you have, the less secure people will be.
-- Tao Te Ching trans
