Dear Reader,

We've been talking around the water cooler about Google's recent calendar
product, and it's led to a broader discussion about web apps in general. I
find the concept fascinating. All of my tools living on the network,
enabling me to access my applications and data at any time from any
computer. Email, word processing, photo management, spreadsheet, calendar,
audio files, and everything else stored on servers distributed across the
web. Is this really possible?

I posed the question to one of my ace writers on Mac DevCenter: Giles
Turnbull. I challenged him to live a "web app only" existence for 24
hours, then write about his experience. Giles did extensive research about
all of the web apps out there, tested many of them, then published the
O'Reilly Media PDF, "Your Life in Web Apps." It's available in the
O'Reilly store for $5.99.

Giles begins the PDF by walking you through his web apps only day, citing
what worked easily and what didn't. He then takes you on an exhaustive
survey of the web apps that are available now, and concludes with a
discussion about security and backup. It's really a terrific piece of
work. And if you've been wondering about the possibility of living by web
apps alone, or at least for the majority of your work, I think you'll find
his research invaluable.

Until next time,

-Derrick

Apple vs. the Bloggers: How It Unfolded and Where It Stands Now
When AppleInsider and PowerPage published apparently purloined
confidential documents from Cupertino, Apple sued their ISPs to find out
who inside the company was leaking. This set into motion a series of court
proceedings that helped define the rights of bloggers and privacy for
those who use the Internet. Richard Koman reports.

Aging PowerBook Upgrade by a Linux/OS X Geek
Many Mac users railed against chromatic's recent article, Switching Back
to Desktop Linux. When Philip Hollenback, a Linux fan himself, needed to
upgrade his aging PB 667 from Panther to Tiger, he used an approach that
kept costs down and value high, while preserving his Linux/OS X frame of
mind. Here's how he did it.
