We limited the list to ten events, but there were many other possibilities, some of which were just as important as the ones noted here. If you have any suggestions for additional items, let us know... Read more

By default, the Mac OS hides many system files that you may at some point need to access. Apple hides these files because an accidental change to, or the outright removal of, the files could cause problems for your Mac. There are a few different methods of showing these hidden files; most involve a trip to the Terminal application or adding third-party software. In this tip, I show you how to add a menu item that will make the invisible visible... Read more
| Guide to Using Your Mac As an HTPC (Home Theater PC)
If you're scratching your head thinking, "Didn't last week's newsletter have a piece on HDTV," you're right; it did.
