New Tutorial Section at Apple.com
January 31, 2008
Apple has opened a new section in its website dedicated to teaching users how to perform common tasks with their Macs. Entitled “Find Out How,” it contains both text and video tutorials.
There are only three videos there for now: “Anatomy of a Mac,” “Move to Mac,” and “Windows on a Mac.” The text tutorials are more plentiful, 29 at the moment, with topics covering how to customize a Mac and how to use iChat, iCal, Safari, Dock, Addressbook, and Mail. The video tutorials can be watched online, or downloaded to iTunes for later view.
For the new section go to “Apple - Find out How - Mac OS X”

Anna Ternheim Interview
January 20, 2008
An interview with Anna Ternheim can be seen in the Featured Video section.

In this interview she talks about the making of her Separation Road album, released in September 2006. The album is excellent and highly recommended.
It’s unfortunate that her work is not so easily found in stores, but on the bright side her last EP is now available in iTunes (perhaps because I nagged them 200 times?) and the Amazon store is distributing her music as well.
More information about Anna can be found on her official sites:
