February 22, 2009A ginormous (600+ pages!?!) collection of tips, tricks and tweaks for your Apple computer, Ipod, IPhone, Iwhatever. Great for weekend projects, sleepless nights, or any time you just want to pimp your Mac. In fact, they could have just called this book "Pimp Your Mac!".

Some good tricks and ideas here for all sorts of Apple gear. Since I have a MacBook Pro, and an iPhone, there were tools I was able to put to use for myself. A worthy addition to any bookshelf for dwellers within the Reality Distortion Sphere.

Fairly basic, but also some great explanations of fundamental OS X concepts I hadn't understood before (or read explained more clearly elsewhere). A few links are outdated, but if instructions are followed it's easy enough to find the replacement software.
