Leander Kahney takes on all the recent Apple hating in this column today at Wired.com. He asserts that Apple, as a company, gets a lot of attention from the media at large for a number of reasons. Apple is seen as the 'thought leader,' where its hardware goes other PC makers usually follow.Filed under: OS, Software, How-tos
Sometimes, even on a Mac, applications go a little wonky. They stop responding, they freeze, or you are treated to
everyone's favorite sight: the spinning beachball of death. Ted Landau has compiled a quick list of something things that you can

You're a good
little Mac user. You back up your files. You repair your permissions. You install the latest updates. But, there's that
one bad habit you maintain that isn't in accordance with your regular behavior. Maybe you don't back up regularly, or
you've shut down your Mac by just yanking out the power cord. When I was using Mac OS 9 (and I still do at work
sometimes), I've been known to force quit the Finder, just so I could rebuild the desktop without having to restart the
machine (because laziness is the mother of invention). Want to create custom shortcuts? Head to the Keyboard Shortcuts tab of the Keyboard and Mouse part of System Preferences to create shortcuts for common tasks that appear in the Services menu. You can also add application shortcuts for tasks that appear in the menu bar of those programs.
