Dear Reader,
We've been talking around the water cooler about Google's
recent calendar
product, and it's led to a broader discussion about web
apps in general. I
find the concept fascinating. All of my tools living on the
network,
enabling me to access my applications and data at any time
from any
computer. Email, word processing, photo management,
spreadsheet, calendar,
audio files, and everything else stored on servers
distributed across the
web. Is this really possible?
I posed the question to one of my ace writers on Mac
DevCenter: Giles
Turnbull. I challenged him to live a "web app
only" existence for 24
hours, then write about his experience. Giles did extensive
research about
all of the web apps out there, tested many of them, then
published the
O'Reilly Media PDF, "Your Life in Web Apps."
It's available in the
O'Reilly store for $5.99.
<http
://www.oreilly.com/catalog/usingwebapps/>
Giles begins the PDF by walking you through his web apps
only day, citing
what worked easily and what didn't. He then takes you on an
exhaustive
survey of the web apps that are available now, and concludes
with a
discussion about security and backup. It's really a
terrific piece of
work. And if you've been wondering about the possibility of
living by web
apps alone, or at least for the majority of your work, I
think you'll find
his research invaluable.
Until next time,
-Derrick

Apple vs. the Bloggers: How It Unfolded and Where It Stands
Now
When AppleInsider and PowerPage published apparently
purloined
confidential documents from Cupertino, Apple sued their ISPs
to find out
who inside the company was leaking. This set into motion a
series of court
proceedings that helped define the rights of bloggers and
privacy for
those who use the Internet. Richard Koman reports.

Aging PowerBook Upgrade by a Linux/OS X Geek
Many Mac users railed against chromatic's recent article,
Switching Back
to Desktop Linux. When Philip Hollenback, a Linux fan
himself, needed to
upgrade his aging PB 667 from Panther to Tiger, he used an
approach that
kept costs down and value high, while preserving his
Linux/OS X frame of
mind. Here's how he did it.
