How to Please Your

- Holiday shopping guide for the Apple-crazed individuals in

There's no place like home for the holidays, or so Perry

singing "there's nothing like Mac stuff for the holidays"

The Mac Pro
The
Fastest
Mac Ever
The
Long-Awaited Mac Pro Arrives -
Creative professionals have
been anxiously anticipating
The Mac Pro since last year when Apple announced
their computers would be transitioning to Intel processors.
Much grumbling has been heard over the past months as folks
sat back and watched Apple roll out a myriad of Intel-based
notebooks and consumer desktop models, like the iMac and Mac
mini, leaving editors, photographers and other power-hungry
pros wondering "what about us?"
Webcams are great for
capturing short video clips and live video messaging across
the Internet. Plus, webcams can be used for remote
monitoring, some even with motion detection. But you
don't necessarily want to tie up a computer to act as a
video server for a connected webcam, so a better option for
this kind of use is to use a dedicated Internet camera with
a built-in network interface, like the Creative Live!
Wireless.
