Apple Computer and Mac OS X Resources
Because I can, I’m going to first link to sites where I post opinion, commentary and news about Apple, Apple hardware, and all things Macintosh.
I’m not responsible for the content or the software from any of these sites; they are simply sites that I find interesting, amusing, or helpful.These are Apple and Macintosh news sites that I think are worth following.
- Apple Support
- Here is Apple’s own tech support information site. It includes links to the latest info about patches, upgrades, and system software. The Tech Info Library is especially useful.
- Version Tracker
- This site lists the latest version (including Beta versions) of virtually every Macintosh application, with links to download and support sites.
- Mac Fixit
- Ted Landau is the editor of this site and the author of Sad Macs, Bombs and Other Disasters (a troubleshooting book for the Macintosh) and the author of many other Macintosh related books. This site is a great place for current news about problems and troubleshooting for the Macintosh.
- MacInTouch Home Page
- Ric Ford is a Macintosh consultant, and the author of the MacInTouch column in Macweek, as well as the creator of this must-read-daily site with up-to-the-minute Macintosh news and technical information.
- MacCentral
- MacCentral merged with MacWeek, the profesional weekly news magazine that Macintosh support professionals and users rely on for fast, in-depth coverage. It’s now a web-only publication, and the web site should be checked at least once a week. It’s well organized, easy to navigate and full of information, news, gossip and reviews about all things Mac.
- TidBITS
- Adam and Tonya Engst, and now Geoff Duncan, have been writing books about all things Mac and all thing Internet for several years, but TidBITS was their first effort. TidBITS is one of the best electronic newletters for the Mac, and everyone should read it.
- MacSurfer
- This is a carefully edited, orgainized, and annotated list of of links to the very lateest news about the Mac from all over. It’s updated frequently, more than daily, and one of the “must read” sites.
- Mac OS Rumors
- This is one of my favorite Mac oriented rumor and news sites. Remember, these are rumors, not facts!
