Jeff Carlson has updated Take Control of Digital Photos on a Mac to the second edition, to help us organize our ever-growing collection of images so that they can be located and enjoyed. He talks about workflows that help accomplish this goal, the new artificial intelligence capabilities built into Apple’s Photos and Google Photos, and what they can do for you. Protecting your digital photo assets is just as critical as organizing them, and Jeff has some thoughts on that too. Jeff talks about all this, and explains why, if you care enough to take photos, that you should consider yourself a photographer and not just a picture-taker.

Ted Landau is back to provide his thoughts on Apple’s now-announced plans for the Mac Pro, iMac, and Mac mini. We now know all those “The Mac is dead” stories were just that. Ted looks at whether they were genuine, or just click-bait, why the Mac Pro wasn’t what pros were looking for, and what an iMac targeted to the pro crowd might look like. Ted also recounts some of his adventures in connecting his Amazon Echo to his favorite sound bar, and offers assistance for those wanting to do the same.

A refugee from The Humanities (well, actually, from Classics) he turned to computers because they pay you more without all those letters after your name…. Working with Macs from 1990 he has built an enviable reputation for being able to illustrate the obscure to the disinterested–and then showing them why they do care! Currently a staff “computer guy” at the University of Chicago while doing some private consulting he’d be happy to help you figure out more than you now know about computers. No, really, he would be happy so to do!

Ken Ray of MacOSKen is the perfect person to give a balanced perspective on the Apple-in-crisis-du-jour stories that seem to be at the top of the tech news headlines constantly. Ken steps back and looks at why these stories seem to be so popular, whether they might hold any measure of truth, and why their outcomes are so unlikely. Is Apple still something special, and for the same reasons as in the past, or has the appeal evolved into something new? Ken gives us a much-needed review of the facts, and asks some questions that you need to answer for yourself.
