Myths / Mortals / Sisyphus. Sisyphus was the king of Ephyra ( Corinth) in Greek mythology. He was the son of King Aeolus of Thessaly and Enarete. He founded Ephyra, which he ruled over as its first king. His spouse was the nymph Merope, with whom he had four children; Glaucus, Ornytion, Almus, and Thersander. This is the final part of the series. It was a meaningful experience to learn about these writer sunbaes and their passion, writing styles, and hard work to create these uniquely reflective, informative, and entertaining articles!
Welcome to the April issue of About This Particular Macintosh! Our editorshave worked hard over the past month to bring you a topical and relevant seriesof columns and reviews. We will present this month's issue in a correspondinglynon-typical and irreverent way.
We welcome you to the 'On the Rocks' issue of ATPM. For those who wonder howwe developed the theme for our April issue, we mixed in a shot of economicdiscontent, added two jiggers of sour financial news, stirred in some sweet talkand an ounce of Apple optimism, and poured the concoction into a tumbler full ofdigital ice.
China: the iPhone's Rocky Road
It's ironic the place where iPhones are made is a place where the locals don'thave easy access to acquire and use them. Negotiations between Apple and itsprospective iPhone partner on China's mainland continue. For now, Hong Kongremains the point of iPhone entry (and for mainlanders a source of iPhone envy)until agreements are signed. Announcements of a deal should come any day now.Really, announcements should come any day now. We think.
Follow the Cobblestone Road
Apple has announced the dates of this year's annual conference for developers.From June 8–12, Apple developers will descend upon San Francisco's MosconeCenter for a five-day celebration of Mac OS X and the iPhone OS.
Apple has been cobbling together a multi-device operating system roadmap tosatisfy the economic interests of developers large and small while the companycontinues to lead the industry with innovative hardware designs. Will thiscobblestone road lead to prosperity for Apple developers and further gains inmarket share for the maker of the Mac and the iPhone? We don't know what kind ofwizardry will be behind the curtain for this year's event, but we suspect thereturn of Steve Jobs may be one of the happenings that will make headlines atWWDC 2009.
Rock On!
In March, Apple released updates to its computers including the iMac and Mac Prolines. The new hardware releases are notable for not being particularly notable.In challenging economic times, the company is taking a determined course ofincremental and evolutionary product updates. The Mac mini is now hailed as theworld's most energy efficient desktop computer. In response to environmentalistswho have been critical of the company's products, the new desktops are lean andhave become continuingly more green.
Sisyphus
In response to the thousands of e-mails our managing editor has received askingus to make more references to Greek mythology in our work, this month we arehappy to oblige. Please keep the e-mails coming. Like many of our readers, oureditors can't get enough of this ancient stuff.
For our new readers who might not be aware of our scholarly interest in ancientGreek culture and mythology, Sisyphus is the mythical creature destined foreternity to push a boulder up a mountain only to have it roll back down again ashe and the boulder approached the top. Monumental undertakings are oftenreferred to as 'Sisyphean challenges.'
Those of us desiring Apple's share price to rise back to its all-time high inthis difficult market no matter the company's strong balance sheet, amazingproduct line, and recent history of creating billions of dollars in net casheach year, might see ourselves reflected in the mythical story.
The Rocky Horror Photo Show
There's really no horror involved in viewing this month's desktop photos. Thehorror belongs to this writer and photographer of the photo series of VasquezRocks. During the photo excursion, he found himself hanging off the sides ofcliffs and dangling precariously from many a ridge. The photo set is anaccompaniment to the forthcoming review of Apple's iWeb component of iLife '09.The review entitled 'iWeb: The Good, The Bad, and The Sublime' is scheduled forpublication in our May issue. You can follow the progress of the review site.
So why is a photo series for a May review appearing in our April issue? Afterthis writer and photographer submitted the photos for the desktop pictureseries, all was good until he submitted photos his daughter had taken atYosemite National Park for a future series of desktop photos. Puppy park (dan) mac os.
The timing of the publication of this desktop series of rock formations in theApril issue has nothing to do with the publisher's polite and constructivecritique that the next time this writer and photographer embarks on a photoexcursion he take his daughter along to handle the camera. There's absolutelynothing to that rumor. Nor is there any credence to the story that this writerand photographer was concerned about being upstaged by his teenage daughtershould both desktop photo sets be published in the May issue. It has everythingto do with this month's theme. Now that we've rationalized the timing of thismonth's desktop picture set, we'll depart from the theme for just a moment.
Wonyun trench run mac os. If you'd like to submit a series of pictures for consideration for publicationas a desktop photo set, please contact editor@atpm.com. Please note: VasquezRocks as a location is already taken. This writer and photographer desires noadditional competition.
Espionage
This month, Linus Ly looks at a solution for those who desire to keep everythingprivate. Not that he's apt to hide the dealings of a long-running Ponzi scheme,but he may have found a way to hide the remaining assets. Even if the Fedsseized his Mac, he'd have encrypted knowledge to barter for a lighter sentence.Absent illegal dealings, we may all have stuff we want to keep away from eventhe most creative snoops. Please see his review in this month's issue.
