There’s a bevy of Photoshop tips in the Creative section of Apple.com.

Bare Feats’ Rob Morgan benchmarked the PowerBook G4 17″ from the Macworld Expo show floor, and has posted his results, with comparison to current and former Powerportables.
I have to agree with Rob’s assessment of the 12″ PowerBook G4; the more I think about it, I love the size, but I really want the power one finds in its 15″ and 17″ brethren: 1 GHz proc, L3 cache, and faster graphics with more VRAM. I know a PC Card slot is still out of the question, because of its size, but you add in those things, plus the SuperDrive you can get it with now, and it’s a sure-fire winner.
I’m beginning to think that an updated 15″ PowerBook G4 with similar specs to the 17″ is what I’ll be looking for in the future.
Between the new PowerBooks, Safari, and Keynote, amongst other news out of Macworld Expo SF, I failed to notice some of the latest gadgets from Macally.
Now every peripheral manufacturer and their cousin’s mother’s brother’s aunt’s dog’s sister has produced a 4-port USB hub, with a nuclear-arms-size race to build the smallest one. My Dr. Bott gHub is pretty small, and unobtrusive behind my Apple 15″ LCD. Macally tops it though, with this minihub that features a built-in USB cable. Twenty bucks U.S.
It was really nice of Apple to include a FireWire cable with my iPod, but it’s kind of a pain to schlepp that cable around in my bag. Macally comes to the rescue with a 5-foot retractable FireWire cable. Like the minihub, twenty bucks U.S.
PowerBook Central answers that question with this handy chart of small Apple portables. While it’s technically not the smallest when certain individual measurements are compared, the 12″ PowerBook G4 is the smallest Mac portable ever by volume. In my technolust over the new ‘Book offerings, I’m still waffling over the 12″ PowerBook G4 versus its 17″ big brother.
As crazy as it sounds now, a 40 GB iPod could be a reality later this year, thanks to 40 GB 1.8-inch drives from Hitachi. (from MacRumors)
If you’re still waffling over whether or not to try Safari, Wei-Meng Lee has a good overview over on O’Reilly’s MacDevCenter.
Like Charles, I hadn’t thought of this remedy.
LEM has some new bumper snickers. The Dell one is my favorite from this batch.
Some time yesterday, Apple released a new beta of Safari.
