1. Pixel Perfect Africa
Amid its 11 million-plus square miles of real estate, you'll find over 800 million people. It boasts one of the world's longest rivers, one of the world's largest deserts, and one of the world's most exquisite collections of fauna, including mankind's closest living relative.
Yes, Africa beckoned project director David Cohen, and if you can imagine this much chutzpah, he fancied capturing it all in a single day.
Digitally, of course.
Putting digital cameras into the hands of 100 of the world's finest photojournalists--many of whom had never peered through the viewfinder of a digital camera in their lives--he sent them forth to capture "A Day in the Life of Africa."

2. Photos in the Field
Like John Isaac--whose work is featured in "A Day in the Life of Africa"--many photographers carry not only camera bodies, lenses, and tripods into the field but their favorite laptop computers, as well.
Fast FireWire and USB connectors allow photographers to quickly transfer images from digital "film," flash media readers, or digital wallets to PowerBook <http://www.apple.com/powerbook/> and iBook <http://www.apple.com/ibook/> computers.
Tools like iPhoto <http://www.apple.com/iphoto/> let digital photographers review, evaluate, and annotate captured images on the go, plan next-day adjustments, and even create on-the-spot slide presentations of their work--complete with audio.
And with iBook and PowerBook computers, photographers can immediately save their images on a CD or (in the case of our new SuperDrive-equipped PowerBook G4 on a DVD-R disc for safeguarding or to meet their deadlines.

3. Got Velvia?
While we can't offer you a deal on conventional film, if you're looking for digital film--or just about anything else for your own or someone else's digital photography needs--you're likely to find it within the pages of our Holiday Gift Guide.
The latest digital cameras, software (like Adobe Photoshop 7 and Elements 2.0), books on digital photography, flash media and media readers, photo-quality printers, printer supplies, cables, hard drives--we carry it all.
And while you're perusing the photo section, you may also want to see the other goodies we've stuffed in the nooks and crannies of this year's Holiday Gift Guide: there's Mac OS X v10.2 "Jaguar," Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast, that new Palm Zire, a .Mac membership, a 20GB iPod, and much more.

4. Tips for Ten: Find Content Faster
Like Mac OS X to search your hard drive even faster? Then try this suggestion from Scott Kelby's "Mac OS X Killer Tips":
"When you use its built-in Find function, Mac OS X v10.2 searches by default in over a dozen languages besides English. To speed up your search, choose Preferences in the Finder menu and click the Select button at the very bottom of the dialog. In the ensuing dialog, turn off the languages that you don't need searched, and it will speed up the indexing of your content, helping you 'Find' even faster."

5. Mac OS X Works Seamlessly in a Windows NT Environment
With the release of Mac OS X v10.2 "Jaguar," Apple made it considerably easier for customers with Macintosh computers to work seamlessly in a Windows network environment.
Working remotely? Our PPTP-based VPN client lets you connect to Windows NT servers easily.
Whether you're at home or at work, you can use Mac OS X Mail (and other email applications) to retrieve email from a Microsoft Exchange mail server.
You can mount Windows file servers simply by choosing "Connect to Server" from the Go menu, and those using Windows systems can connect to Mac OS X servers just as easily.

Called Apple eNews for Education, it's a monthly email newsletter written for teachers, administrators, parents, students, or anyone else interested in how schools are using Mac OS X v10.2 "Jaguar," eMac, iMovie, iPod, Final Cut Pro, iMac, Xserve, DVD Studio Pro, iBook, our new Curriculum Mobile Labs, and other Apple products to enhance teaching and learning.
We offer both a K-12 and Higher Education version. You can sign up for either or both and choose the format you prefer (HTML or text) by visiting our website:
When you shoot indoors--and most of us will be doing that a lot this holiday season--your camera probably uses a built-in flash to augment the light falling on your subject.
The extra light really helps, adding pop to most photographs and resulting in a higher percentage of keepers. But as you may have experienced, flash often results in that dreaded side effect--red-eye.
Not to worry. iPhoto offers a simple remedy for the red-eyed look. You'll find it detailed in the Knowledge Base article "iPhoto: How to Reduce Red-Eye."
What's the easiest way to build powerful web services?
Whether you're building a web services client, a web application, or a Java application, the answer's the same: the newly released WebObjects 5.2.
