  Book Information

Bigger in size, longer in length, broader in scope, and even
more useful than our original Mac OS X Hacks, the new Big
Book of Apple Hacks offers a grab bag of tips, tricks and
hacks to get the most out of Mac OS X Leopard, as well as
the new line of iPods, iPhone, and Apple TV.

With 125 entirely new hacks presented in step-by-step
fashion, this practical book is for serious Apple computer
and gadget users who really want to take control of these
systems. Many of the hacks take you under the hood and show
you how to tweak system preferences, alter or add keyboard
shortcuts, mount drives and devices, and generally do things
with your operating system and gadgets that Apple doesn't
expect you to do. The Big Book of Apple Hacks gives you:

Hacks for both Mac OS X Leopard and Tiger, their related
applications, and the hardware they run on or connect to
Expanded tutorials and lots of background material,
including informative sidebars
"Quick Hacks" for tweaking system and gadget settings in
minutes
Full-blown hacks for adjusting Mac OS X applications such as
Mail, Safari, iCal, Front Row, or the iLife suite
Plenty of hacks and tips for the Mac mini, the MacBook
laptops, and new Intel desktops
Tricks for running Windows on the Mac, under emulation in
Parallels or as a standalone OS with Bootcamp

The Big Book of Apple Hacks is not only perfect for Mac fans
and power users, but also for recent -- and aspiring --
"switchers" new to the Apple experience. Hacks are arranged
by topic for quick and easy lookup, and each one stands on
its own so you can jump around and tweak whatever system or
gadget strikes your fancy. Pick up this book and take
control of Mac OS X and your favorite Apple gadget today!
