Marketing-Abteilungen sehen das eigentlich gar nicht gern: Auf den ersten Blick hat sich bei Mac OS X 10.6 ("Snow Leopard") gegenüber der Vorgängerversion gar nicht sooo viel geändert. Es gibt nicht tausend klangvolle Namen für neue Features, die man als unentbehrlich verkaufen könnte. Aber der Fortschritt ist eben nur auf den ersten Blick minimal. Unter der Haube ist Mac OS X schneller geworden, zuverlässiger, leistungs- und zukunftsfähiger durch 64-Bit-Code und Mehrkernunterstützung - einfach besser. Die neueste Raubkatze von Apple ist also bereit für den Sprung in die Zukunft. So schnell kann das Kätzchen allerdings gar nicht springen, als dass es Dompteur David Pogue nicht doch gelänge, es auf Herz und Nieren zu prüfen, zu zähmen und ungeahnte Fähigkeiten aus ihm zu kitzeln.

Demonstrates how to become adjusted to the Macintosh operating system and how to transfer data from a Windows system to a Macintosh, discussing topics such as moving files and Macintosh equivalents to Windows-only programs.

For a company that promised to "put a pause on new features," Apple sure has been busy-there''s barely a feature left untouched in Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard." There''s more speed, more polish, more refinement-but still no manual. Fortunately, David Pogue is back, with the humor and expertise that have made this the #1 bestselling Mac book for eight years straight. You get all the answers with jargon-free introductions to: Big-ticket changes. A 64-bit overhaul. Faster everything. A rewritten Finder. Microsoft Exchange compatibility. All-new QuickTime Player. If Apple wrote it, this book covers it. Snow Leopard Spots. This book demystifies the hundreds of smaller enhancements, too, in all 50 programs that come with the Mac: Safari, Mail, iChat, Preview, Time Machine. Shortcuts. This must be the tippiest, trickiest Mac book ever written. Undocumented surprises await on every page. Power usage. Security, networking, build-your-own Services, file sharing with Windows, even Mac OS X''s Unix chassis-this one witty, expert guide makes it all crystal clear.

The wit and wisdom of the Twittersphere captured in a hilarious, occasionally poignant, and often useful collection of hand-picked tweets. New York Times technology columnist David Pogue has tapped into the brilliance of his half-million followers on Twitter by posting a different, thought-provoking question every night. The questions ranged from the earnest ("What''s your greatest regret?") to the creative ("Make up a concept for a doomed TV show") to the curious ("What''s your great idea to improve the cell phone?"). Out of 25,000 tweets, Pogue has gathered the very best 2,524 into this irresistible, clever, laugh-out-loud funny book. The World According to Twitter is truly a grand social networking experiment, in which thousands of voices have come together to produce a unique and wonderful record of shared human experience.

Digitalkameras helfen uns dabei, Geld zu sparen, sie erlauben es uns, Fotos direkt nach der Aufnahme anzusehen und sie stolz herumzuzeigen. Mit dem Siegeszug der Digitalkamera gibt es aber auch doppelt so viel zu lernen wie fruher: wie man qualitativ gute Fotos macht und wie man sie am Computer verwaltet und bearbeitet. Bestseller-Autor David Pogue beschaftigt sich deshalb in diesem Buch mit den fotografischen Grundlagen und der digitalen Verarbeitung von Fotos am Rechner. Die Kamera: Kamerahersteller bringen alle sechs Monate neue Modelle heraus. Das macht den Kauf einer Kamera nicht gerade zu einem Kinderspiel. David Pogue ist Kamerakritiker der New York Times und bringt auf den Punkt, auf welche Kamerafunktionen Sie wirklich achten mussen. Die Aufnahme: Moderne Kameras haben unzahlige Features im Gepack. Wozu sind z.B. ISO, Belichtungskorrektur oder Weissabgleich gut? Wie schiesst man professionelle Fotos, die sich deutlich vom klassischen Schnappschuss abheben? Dieses Buch bringt Licht ins Dunkel und behandelt dabei sowohl Kompaktkameras als auch Spiegelreflexkameras. Das Labor: Picasa (Windows) und iPhoto (Mac) sind hervorragende, kostenlose Programme fur die Organisation, die Nachbearbeitung und die Verbreitung von Digitalfotos. Umfangreiche Schritt-fur-Schritt-Anleitungen bringen Ihnen die Arbeit mit beiden Tools naher. Das Publikum: Vergessen Sie die Zeiten, in denen Ihre Fotos auf dem Dachboden Staub ansetzten. Zeigen Sie Ihre Digitalbilder in Webgalerien und Diashows, verschicken Sie sie per E-Mail, lassen Sie Kaffeetassen oder Briefmarken mit Ihren Motiven anfertigen oder nutzen Sie einen Online-Dienst, um Abzuge zu erstellen."
