MacSwitching.com - The Mac Switcher resource

It would take a lot to write down all things about Apple’s 30th birthday … er … anniversary!

I’ll be collecting news and links about in the next days about this topic.

I guess you’re all used to do Command-Tab all the time to do task-switching and, if you’re a Windows switcher, you’re still more used to the ALT-Tab keys combination.

Witch, from Peter Maurer, comes in really handy since it allows you not only to switch from one task to another, but to switch from each and every open document under every program running.

An easy way to pass from multiple open documents with the simple touch of a switch.

Witch is Universal Binary and comes for free or a donation via paypal to the author.

As always, great rumors and many fakes.
The truth about today’s Apple announcement is: Mac mini shifts to Intel and iPod HiFi, a three-way speaker box.

The new Mac mini with Intel processors, both Core Duo running @ 1,66 GHz or Core Solo running @ 1,5 GHz.
This is the first time ever for a Intel Core Solo processor, as far as we know.

Featuring Front Row and its remote, up to 120 GB hard drive and an Intel GMA950 GPU, the new Mac mini is the second Intel-based move in less than 60 days: quite a fast shift, even for Steve’s company.

Good job!

Looking at the box, there’s almost nothing different from the previous model, apart from the back sporting different ports and connectors.

The only ‘dark’ spot is the GMA950-based graphics card and its performance, opposed to ATI and nVidia chipsets, but in the next days plenty of benchmarks will be published about this topic.
The iPod HiFi is a speaker-boombox featuring the universal dock connector and three big speakers with a design that may be so trendy and so 70’s; remote command included.

First Mac OS X Worm a Wake-Up Call: this is The Cult of Mac title for what seems the first (?) reported worm for Mac OS X.

It seems related to an iChat vulnerability, as reported even by Symantec.

ATI graphics card are quite widespread on Mac these days and overclocking fans are always trying to squeeze more and more power from their ATI chips.
