Those coming to Mac OS X from previous incarnations of the operating system recognize much of the friendly face of the Macintosh but they are also plunged into a whole new world. Unix converts to Mac OS X find a familiar FreeBSD-like operating system at the core and many of the command-line applications that they're familiar with. <p>This presents a unique opportunity for combining traditional Unix hacking and Mac OS know-how. <i>Mac OS X Hacks</i> goes beyond the peculiar mix of man pages and not-particularly-helpful Help Center, pulling the best tips, tricks, and tools from the Mac power users and Unix hackers themselves.<p>The collection reflects the real-world know how and experience of those well steeped in Unix history and expertise, sharing their no-nonsense, sometimes quick-and-dirty solutions to administering and taking full advantage of everything a Unix desktop has to offer: Web, Mail, and FTP serving, security services, SSH, Perl and shell scripting, compiling, configuring, scheduling, networking, and hacking. Add to that the experience of die-hard Macintosh users, customizing and modifying their hardware and software to meet their needs: System Preferences, GUI mods and tweaks, hardware tips, vital shareware and freeware, AppleScript, AppleTalk and equivalents, keyboard modifiers, and general Macintosh-style tomfoolery.<p>Each Hack can be read easily in a few minutes, saving countless hours of searching for the right answer. <i>Mac OS X Hacks</i> provides direct, hands-on solutions that can be applied to the challenges facing both those meeting the Mac for the first time and long-time users delving into Mac OS X and its Unix underpinnings.<p><i>Mac OS X Hacks</i> is the third in O'Reilly's new Hacks Serier which aims to begin reclaiming the term "hacking" for the good guys. In recent years, the term has come to be associated with those nefarious black hats who break into computers to snoop, steal information or disrupt Internet traffic. But the term originally had a more benign meaning, and you'll still hear it used this way whenever developers get together. Our new Hacks books are written in the spirit of the true hackers -- the people who drive innovation. 1025123 24 3 2003 Mac OS X Hacks total:5|5:1|4:1|3:3| 5 18 18 1 1038762 0596004605 9780596004606 5 1 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180424083m/1038762.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1038762.Mac_OS_X_Hacks 3 0 false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 31 07:47:47 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 31 07:50:34 -0700 2007 more...]]> 1038762 0596004605 9780596004606 5 1 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180424083m/1038762.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1038762.Mac_OS_X_Hacks 0 0 false Tue Jul 14 15:05:36 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 15:05:36 -0700 2009 1038762 0596004605 9780596004606 5 1 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180424083m/1038762.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1038762.Mac_OS_X_Hacks 0 0 false Wed Apr 22 09:57:02 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 09:57:02 -0700 2009 1038762 0596004605 9780596004606 5 1 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180424083m/1038762.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1038762.Mac_OS_X_Hacks 0 0 false Fri Apr 10 07:03:21 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 10 07:03:21 -0700 2009 1038762 0596004605 9780596004606 5 1 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180424083m/1038762.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1038762.Mac_OS_X_Hacks 0 0 false Sun Mar 29 00:38:05 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 00:38:05 -0700 2009 1038762 0596004605 9780596004606 5 1 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180424083m/1038762.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1038762.Mac_OS_X_Hacks 5 0 false Tue Mar 24 08:25:07 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 24 08:25:07 -0700 2009 1038762 0596004605 9780596004606 5 1 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180424083m/1038762.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1038762.Mac_OS_X_Hacks 0 0 false Mon Feb 16 11:45:54 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 11:45:54 -0800 2009 1038762 0596004605 9780596004606 5 1 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180424083m/1038762.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1038762.Mac_OS_X_Hacks 0 0 false Mon Feb 02 21:08:59 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 21:08:59 -0800 2009 1038762 0596004605 9780596004606 5 1 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180424083m/1038762.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1038762.Mac_OS_X_Hacks 4 0 false Mon Oct 06 08:15:37 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 06 08:15:37 -0700 2008 1038762 0596004605 9780596004606 5 1 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180424083m/1038762.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1038762.Mac_OS_X_Hacks 3 0 false Fri Aug 01 18:12:17 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 01 18:12:17 -0700 2008 1038762 0596004605 9780596004606 5 1 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180424083m/1038762.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1038762.Mac_OS_X_Hacks 0 0 false Sat Jun 14 05:55:23 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 14 05:55:23 -0700 2008 1038762 0596004605 9780596004606 5 1 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180424083m/1038762.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1038762.Mac_OS_X_Hacks 0 0 false Sun Dec 30 01:51:51 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 30 01:51:51 -0800 2007 1038762 0596004605 9780596004606 5 1 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180424083m/1038762.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1038762.Mac_OS_X_Hacks 0 0 false Thu Nov 29 19:58:16 -0800 2007 Thu Nov 29 19:58:16 -0800 2007 1038762 0596004605 9780596004606 5 1 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180424083m/1038762.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1038762.Mac_OS_X_Hacks 3 0 false Mon Jun 09 16:52:27 -0700 2008 Sun Nov 18 10:02:18 -0800 2007 Mon Jun 09 16:52:27 -0700 2008 1038762 0596004605 9780596004606 5 1 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180424083m/1038762.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1038762.Mac_OS_X_Hacks 0 0 false Fri Oct 19 23:30:46 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 19 23:30:46 -0700 2007 1038762 0596004605 9780596004606 5 1 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180424083m/1038762.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1038762.Mac_OS_X_Hacks 0 0 false Tue Oct 02 14:06:46 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 02 14:06:46 -0700 2007 1038762 0596004605 9780596004606 5 1 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180424083m/1038762.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1038762.Mac_OS_X_Hacks 0 0 false Tue Sep 04 19:51:26 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 04 19:51:26 -0700 2007 1038762 0596004605 9780596004606 5 1 3.60 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180424083m/1038762.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1038762.Mac_OS_X_Hacks 0 0 false Tue Jul 10 05:53:53 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 10 05:53:53 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1038762
