iPhone. A Guided Tour.

You can now take a 20 minute guided tour of the iPhone here on Apple’s website. This device is mind-bogglingly cool. Watching this makes me want one more than ever.

AT&T Announces Functionality For The iPhone

iPhone arrives on June 29. iPhone features an amazing mobile phone, is the best iPod ever created, and puts the Internet in your pocket with desktop–class email, web browsing, searching, and maps. And iPhone makes it all easy to use with its revolutionary multi-touch user interface. iPhone syncs with your PC or Mac just like an iPod, so organizing your content now will help you start calling, texting, emailing, surfing, listening, and watching even faster when you get your iPhone. Here are a few suggestions to help you get ready:

2 ways to synchronize your web browser’s bookmarks in OSX

For those people in search of alternative web browsers for Mac OS X, and for Windows, too, we keep recommending Firefox and Opera to Mac users, along with Apple’s Safari , but we haven’t yet talked about how to synchronize your bookmarks, or even just move them over! once you’ve made the switch to a new web browser. Given many people horde, er, I mean collect many, many bookmarks (”favorites”), this is potentially an important issue we’ve neglected to address, as my family was quick to point out.

Parental Control

The Web can be a scarey place, especially for kids. As a repsonsible parent, you want to do all you can to protect them from the unsavory sites. One of the first things that you can do is to activate Parental Controls in Safari.

The first step is to create a separate account for your child (or children). Next, turn on parental controls by choosing System Preferences, clicking on the Accounts icon, and selecting your kid’s account. In account preferences click on the Parental Controls tab and click on the checkbox next to Safari.

Safari Shortcut

Use Safari’s Mail Llink command to email a webpage to friends and family.

Let’s say you that you find a webpage that you want to share with a friend. Just choose File > Mail Link to this Page or press Command Shift I. The command automatcially opens a new Mail document with the link neatly in place.
