새로운 것은 언제나 신나게!!!

 2009년도의 MacWorld 는 대부분의 맥 사용자에게는 아쉬운 부분이 있었던 행사였다.  가장 큰 원인은 스티브잡스의 프리젠테이션을 볼 수 없었던 것이겠지만.. 추가적으로 예년에 비해서 사람들의 관심을 끌만한 신제품이 등장하지 않은 이유이다. 이와는 달리 라스베가스에 있었던 CES 행사에서는 팜프리라는 예상치 않았던 신무기가 등장하여, 맥월드를 기다리고 있던 맥사용자들에게는 더욱더 아쉬움이 클 듯 하다.

다음 링크들은  그럼에도 불구하고 애플사용자라면 꼭 필요한 웹사이트 링크모음이다.

The Unofficial Apple Weblog

애플사용자라면 많이 알고 있는 사이트 특히 TUAW 는 애플과 관련된 가장 많은 최신의 뉴스를 가지고 있다.

MacNN

주로 애플관련 상품 및 액세서리와 관련된 뉴스가 많다.

MacWorld

맥월드잡지의 온라인판이다. 설명이 필요없업죠.

 

MacRumors

애플과 관련된 루머(실제로는 아주 훌륭한 뉴스로 바뀌는 경우가 많다.)가 제공되고 있다.

 

기타 맥과 관련된 정보 사이트들


AppleInsider

Insider news. Hmm… But seriously, this is where most of the stuff on MacRumors come from.

Alltop’s Mac section

Alltop was launched not long ago. Their aim is to aggregate news by topic from a huge repository of sites and list them all on one page.

LifeHacker’s Mac section

We all know and love LifeHacker. Personally, I love their DIY tips, some are pretty way out there. They also have a dedicated Mac section to review and suggest cool apps to download. In addition to that, they feature How-to’s and “hacks” for your Mac.

Technical Support

Mac OS X Hints

The Mac users “How-to” and troubleshooting guide for those innate Mac issues that we’ve so come to love and embrace. If you run into any issues with your Mac, this is the first place to search. They also list a lot of tips which are stumbled-upon by users.

Hackint0sh

For more advanced troubleshooting, ask the gurus at Hackint0sh. It started out as a site for inspiring individuals to discuss about running OS X on third-party components (hacked Macs) and has now blossomed into the most respected Mac hacks site.

Hackint0sh is also the forum for a lot of iPhone users to gather and discuss about yellowsn0w and hacking the iPhone i.e. unlocking, jailbreaking, third-party application repositories, etc.

Apple Pro Tips

Do you think that you know everything there is to know about Mac OS X? Check out the monthly pro tips from Apple and be at the top of your game.

Just wacky

Cult of Mac

This website is for the Apple fanboi. Or maybe not. They feature a lot of product placement (especially Apple’s) and basically how life revolves around the Mac.

Macenstein

Macenstein is a very wacky website, with the weirdest anecdotes. While you’re there, don’t forget to check out their random Mac chick. Chick and gadgets, ah what a wonderful combination (for us geeks).

The Joy of Tech

I love this tech comic. It pokes fun at a lot of things, even Apple!

Mac Applications

Version Tracker

To get you started off, Version Tracker is akin to Download.com. They have a huge variety of applications for both Mac and Windows. It also lists apps for iPhone and Palm OS.

MacUpdate

Unlike Version Tracker, MacUpdate is solely for Mac applications. Other than that, their system of listing apps is quite similar.

MacApper

They hit a rough patch a couple of months ago due to lack of writers but recently, MacApper has returned from the dead and is currently on the road to recovery! They review popular paid and sometimes, hopefully, free Mac applications.

iusethis

iusethis is a great site where Mac users can share their experiences with applications and vote on which applications they use. If certain applications gain popularity quickly, they will be promoted on the “Hot” list. Their “Interesting apps” list is also worth checking out.

iusethis also aggregates software reviews from several sites and places the links on the application’s page, thus making it very easy for end-users like us to know if that piece of application has been trialed and tested.
