TidBITS#907/10-Dec-07

We’re sliding into the holiday season, leading off with our 2007 TidBITS Gift Guide to help you with your shopping. Neale Monks joins us with an overview of the world of open source Mac games that comes just in time for vacation downtime if your presents don’t include the top game picks from our gift guide. With the new year approaching, Adam looks at Hazel, a utility that will help you with a New Year’s resolution to keep your Mac clean, and Joe Kissell explains exactly what Apple means when they say the Boot Camp beta will “expire” at the end of the year. Glenn Fleishman passes on the news that even Apple agrees that Back to My Mac doesn’t work for everyone, and he also looks at the releases of LogMeIn for Mac and Yojimbo 1.5. In Take Control news, we have three new ebooks about digital photography and a free update to “Take Control of Upgrading to Leopard.” Lastly, bonus stories this week largely look at solutions to common Leopard annoyances.
