I was fortunate to get a copy of it for Christmas this year (thanks, sweetie!) and it's 866 pages of sweet, Leopard-y goodness. <br /><br />The book is divided into six sections that cover just about every conceivable thing you could ever want to know about the OS. It takes a look at how to maneuver around the desktop, how to use the native apps to their fullest potential, what to do with once your online with your Mac, and everything in between.<br /><br />If you already know your way around OS X, this manual is a terrific reference tool for looking up obscure things you don't do very often, like tweaking onscreen colors to mimic a Windows PC monitor. At the other end of the spectrum, if you're a <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/switchers/">switcher</a> there are roughly seven trazillion tips and tricks to help you learn how to get the most out of your new operating system. <br /><br />Pogue's writing style is upbeat, easy to understand, and sometimes downright hilarious. The book is well laid-out and progresses fairly intuitively, although the editor seems to have gone a little crazy with the headings, sub-headings, and sub-sub-headings on many of the pages. Also, while I'm sure Pogue touches on all 300 of Leopard's new features, it's not always immediately clear which features he's describing are different from the previous version, Tiger.<br /><br />Despite these minor shortcomings, I love this book and think it's a great addition to any Mac users bookshelf. This manual is one you don't want to miss.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596529529/?CMP=ILC-MMh0me>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2008/01/02/mini-review-of-mac-os-x-the-missing-manual-leopard-edition/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tuaw.com/forward/1075568/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2008/01/02/mini-review-of-mac-os-x-the-missing-manual-leopard-edition/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br />]]></description><category>book</category><category>manual</category><category>missing</category><category>missing manual</category><category>oreilly</category><category>pogue</category><category>review</category><dc:creator>Lisa Hoover</dc:creator><pubDate>2008-01-02T14:30:00+00:00</pubDate></item><item><title>TUAW Buyers Guide: Christmas Reading</title><link>http://www.tuaw.com/2007/12/18/tuaw-buyers-guide-christmas-reading/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tuaw.com/2007/12/18/tuaw-buyers-guide-christmas-reading/</guid><comments>http://www.tuaw.com/2007/12/18/tuaw-buyers-guide-christmas-reading/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/steve-jobs/" rel="tag">Steve Jobs</a>, <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/books-and-blogs/" rel="tag">Books and Blogs</a>, <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/bad-apple/" rel="tag">Bad Apple</a>, <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/apple/" rel="tag">Apple</a>, <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/stocking-stuffers/" rel="tag">Stocking Stuffers</a>, <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/books/" rel="tag">Books</a>, <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/developer/" rel="tag">Developer</a>, <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/apple-history/" rel="tag">Apple History</a></p>I, like <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/bloggers/christina-warren">Christina</a>, am a bit of a book lover - especially over the festive season. Normally found looking through a formidable library of books, what better way to stave off the pre-Macworld hype (at least for a few hours) than a relevant book. Unlike reader Matt Holland, who chose to use his MacBook as a reader (possibly some sideways-reading with <a href="http://www.bitcartel.com/comicbooklover/">ComicBookLover</a>?), I'm going to be sticking to books of the printed realm. Christina's recommendations for a few books can be found <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2007/12/13/tuaw-buyers-guide-what-to-get-a-switcher/">here</a>.<br /> <div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mholland/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tuaw.com/media/2007/12/matt-pic-425.jpg" /></a><br /> <div align="left"><br /><u>Revolution in the Valley: The Insanely Great Story of How The Mac Was Made</u><br /><br /><img vspace="8" hspace="8" border="1" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tuaw.com/media/2007/12/revolution.jpg" alt="" />Long-serving Apple fans are no-doubt aware of the <a href="http://folklore.org/index.py">Folklore.org website</a> - home to the anecdotes of how the original Mac came into being - but others may be intrigued to know that the site's collation of stories served as the collection point for this particular book. At just under 300 pages (including full-page copies of design notes from the early eighties) it's a particularly nice gift, hardcover and all. Sure, you can get to the website and read the stories, but as a gift? It's a no-brainer - especially at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Revolution-Valley-Insanely-Great-Story/dp/0596007191/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1197753952&amp;sr=1-1">$16 from Amazon</a> (<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Revolution-Valley-Insanely-Great-Story/dp/0596007191/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1197753952&amp;sr=1-1">UK Price: &pound;11</a>).<br /><br /><br /><img vspace="8" hspace="8" border="1" align="left" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tuaw.com/media/2007/12/steve-icon.jpg" alt="" /><u>iCon: The Greatest Second Act in the History of Business</u><br /><br />Whilst covering more than simply this past decade of Steve Jobs' life, this infamous book covers the much-famed second intersection of Apple and Steve Jobs fortunes. Not always flattering of Steve, it's a fascinating read - and now goes into the Pixar / Disney dealings after being updated. There's plenty of Steve Jobs books, yet this remains one of my favourite. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/iCon-Steve-Jobs-Greatest-Business/dp/0471720836/ref=pd_sim_b?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1197752866&amp;sr=1-2">$16 from Amazon</a> (<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/iCon-Steve-Jobs-Greatest-Business/dp/0471720836/ref=pd_sim_b?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1197752866&amp;sr=1-2">UK Price: &pound;11</a>).<br /><br /><br /><img vspace="8" hspace="8" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tuaw.com/media/2007/12/missing-manual.jpg" alt="" /><u>Mac OS X Leopard: The Missing Manual</u><br /><br /><a href="http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/">David Pogue</a>, the New York Times' utterly brilliant Technology columnist, is a hero of ours here at TUAW HQ (currently located somewhere near the South Coast of England).

If you're in need of a Leopard reference book, or tutorial book, I'd heartily recommend this latest edition. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Mac-OS-Leopard-Missing-Manual/dp/059652952X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1197985956&amp;sr=1-1">$24 from Amazon</a> (<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mac-OS-Leopard-Missing-Manual/dp/059652952X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1197985956&amp;sr=1-1">UK Price: &pound;15</a>)<br /><br /><u>Options: The Secret Life of Steve Jobs</u><br /><br /><img vspace="8" hspace="8" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tuaw.com/media/2007/12/options.jpg" alt="" />Admission: I've not read this one. But come Christmas Day, I hope there's a copy waiting for me! <a href="http://fakesteve.blogspot.com">Fake Steve</a> needs little introduction.

Thanks to zealous statistic keeping Tim has a wealth of knowledge about his sales (as as good business man should). The latest trend that Tim has <a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/05/a_tale_of_two_o.html">set his sights</a> on is OS adoption, specifically that of Vista/Tiger. Clearly, O'Reilly has sold more Vista related books vs. OS X books (darn marketshare), however, after 6 months Tiger books completely replaced sales of Pather books while XP books are still selling strong (though Vista sales are 50% higher than XP).<br /><br />What does this tell us? Mac users, at least those that buy tech books, are more likely to upgrade their OS to the latest version while Windows users are taking a wait and see approach with Vista.<br /><br />How many of you are planning on upgrading to Leopard as soon as it comes out?<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/05/a_tale_of_two_o.html>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2007/05/17/vista-vs-os-x-by-the-books/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tuaw.com/forward/898377/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2007/05/17/vista-vs-os-x-by-the-books/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br />]]></description><category>books</category><category>oreilly</category><category>tech book</category><category>TechBook</category><category>vista</category><dc:creator>Scott McNulty</dc:creator><pubDate>2007-05-17T20:30:00+00:00</pubDate></item><item><title>iWoz on iTunes</title><link>http://www.tuaw.com/2006/12/08/iwoz-on-itunes/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tuaw.com/2006/12/08/iwoz-on-itunes/</guid><comments>http://www.tuaw.com/2006/12/08/iwoz-on-itunes/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/itunes-store/" rel="tag">iTS</a>, <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/cult-of-mac/" rel="tag">Cult of Mac</a>, <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/itunes/" rel="tag">iTunes</a>, <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/books-and-blogs/" rel="tag">Books and Blogs</a>, <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/stocking-stuffers/" rel="tag">Stocking Stuffers</a>, <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/the-woz/" rel="tag">The Woz</a></p><img width="425" vspace="8" hspace="8" height="250" border="0" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tuaw.com/media/2006/12/iwozitunes425.jpg" id="vimage_1" alt="" /><br /><br /><strong>iWoz - From Computer Geek to Cult Icon: How I Invented the Personal Computer, Co-Founded Apple, and Had Fun Doing It</strong> has made its way into the audiobook section of the iTunes Music Store (<a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=207652969&amp;s=143441">iTs link</a>). All 9 hours and 14 minutes of it. Patrick Lawlor does a fine job of narrating it, but he sounds nothing like Woz.

If you're thinking of buying anything iPod related at all for the holidays, this is the guide to read before you spend your hard earned cash. The guide includes more than 20 exclusive accessory debuts, sneak peaks, iPod buying tips, Best of the Year awards and so much more. <br /><br />There are two versions available for download and both are 100% free. One in a full-screen single-page PDF format, which is suitable for printing, and one in magazine-style two-page PDF format. iLounge adds: <em>This issue is specially formatted to fill your screen horizontally rather than vertically, unlike past issues. As a result, if your monitor is smaller than 20" on the diagonal, we strongly recommend that you download the single-page version rather than the two-page version.</em> TUAW adds: if your monitor is smaller than 20" on the diagonal, skip the iPod and buy a bigger monitor first!<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://ilounge.com/index.php/sitenews/comments/download-now-the-2007-ipod-buyers-guide-by-iloungecom/>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2006/11/01/the-ilounge-2007-ipod-buyers-guide/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tuaw.com/forward/694385/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2006/11/01/the-ilounge-2007-ipod-buyers-guide/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br />]]></description><category>buying guides</category><category>BuyingGuides</category><category>holiday shopping</category><category>HolidayShopping</category><category>ilounge</category><category>ipod</category><dc:creator>Laurie A.

Here are the directions one more time (and failure to follow them will result in us not reading your application and mocking you):<br />
<ul>
    <li>A brief bio</li>
    <li>3 samples of posts written in TUAW's style. One should be a review of something, another an opinion piece, and the third can be whatever strikes your fancy (existing blog posts cannot be used, this has to be new material)</li>
    <li>Your current Mac setup</li>
</ul>
Email all of those things (yes, all of those things. And no, you can't just link to a bio) to apps-at-tuaw-com in plain text (no attachments, please).<br /><br />We'll be accepting applications until Tuesday, October 17th, so get crackin' already!<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2006/10/13/reminder-tuaw-may-want-you/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tuaw.com/forward/684645/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2006/10/13/reminder-tuaw-may-want-you/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br />]]></description><category>blog for tuaw</category><category>BlogForTuaw</category><category>blogging</category><category>tuaw</category><dc:creator>Scott McNulty</dc:creator><pubDate>2006-10-13T21:00:00+00:00</pubDate></item><item><title>Jim Thompson adds second MacBook to Gruber's Wi-Fi hack challenge</title><link>http://www.tuaw.com/2006/09/06/jim-thompson-adds-second-macbook-to-grubers-wi-fi-hack-challeng/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tuaw.com/2006/09/06/jim-thompson-adds-second-macbook-to-grubers-wi-fi-hack-challeng/</guid><comments>http://www.tuaw.com/2006/09/06/jim-thompson-adds-second-macbook-to-grubers-wi-fi-hack-challeng/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/hardware/" rel="tag">Hardware</a>, <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/os/" rel="tag">OS</a>, <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/books-and-blogs/" rel="tag">Books and Blogs</a>, <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/security/" rel="tag">Security</a>, <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/macbook/" rel="tag">MacBook</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.tuaw.com/media/2006/08/daringfireball.jpg" />Maynor and Elich's rewards just doubled, though the odds remain the same: Jim Thompson, a blogger who has been doing a knock-out job of <a href="http://www.smallworks.com/">dissecting</a> this <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2006/08/03/macbook-hijack-story-prompts-criticism/">MacBook Wi-Fi</a> <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2006/08/18/secureworks-admits-to-falsifying-macbook-wireless-hack/">hack</a> <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2006/08/22/hijacking-the-macbook-wi-fi-hack-in-one-article-or-less/">fiasco</a>, has <a href="http://daringfireball.net/2006/09/challenge_update">offered</a> a second MacBook on top of <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2006/09/02/john-gruber-issues-open-challenge-to-macbook-wi-fi-hackers/">John Gruber's challenge</a> to the dynamic duo.

They also have plainly stated that they have other new products and updates for existing products planned for 2006.

Wouldn't it be nice to have them all in one convenient location?<br /><br />To that end, Macworld has released the <a href="http://www.macworld.com/2006/05/marketing/ebook2/index.php">iPod and iTunes Superguide</a>. It's an 88-page collection of the best of their best articles on getting the most out of your iPod and iTunes, plus troubleshooting, accessory information and a whole lot more.
