Whether you're commuting to work or headingacross country, nothing beats music for passing the time. Until a few years ago, audio CDs were the only way to get digital sound in your car. But now, thanks to portable audio players, satellite radios, and MP3-compatible CD gear, it's easier than ever to listen to clean, digital music on the road (see "MP3s for the Road” for tips on burning MP3 discs). For a fee, satellite radio receivers let you tap into 24-7 digital programming. If you'd rather listen to your own tunes and playlists -- and many more songs than a CD can hold -- an iPod is the way to go. Mobile installations range from basic dashboard mounts to stealthy setups that conceal the iPod and let you control it remotely. There's a system for just about any car.

Macworld Secrets: Colorful Photoshop

Macworld Secrets: Colorful Photoshop 07/07/2004 11:03 AM
Adobe Photoshop CS is possibly the best program for manipulating digital photographs. But it's also a capable program for coloring scanned artwork. This is especially valuable because it's easier to draw on paper, with a pencil or a pen, than it is to sketch on screen, if only because you can see an entire piece of paper without zooming or panning. And it can be easier to add colors in Photoshop than it is to hassle with conventional paints or assemble fussy mechanicals. I'll show you how to apply color to scanned line art in Photoshop. Throughout this process, you won't harm a single stroke in the original drawing. It really is the best of all worlds.

Apple's .Mac subscription service offers a wide array of functions for Mac OS X users, from an e-mail account and the easiest Web-based photo-sharing around to virus busters, backup software, and server space for storing your files. But many people don't realize just how much they can do with that $99 subscription. A lot of .Mac's functions are hidden in its Web site, so subscribers must dig to discover them all. The .Mac service can even keep you organized when you're between computers, and those computers don't have to be Macs. Whether you're traveling across the world or across town, .Mac can help keep your contacts, e-mail, calendars, and files accessible, but not too accessible, without much planning.

Macworld Secrets: Animatics in Final Cut
Pro 4 12/22/2003 05:17 PM
Animatics are animated storyboards -- usually set to music, with sound effects and temporary dialogue -- that professional filmmakers, commercial agencies, and special-effects artists use to visualize the look and tempo of their projects. To create your own animatic, all you need is a set of storyboard drawings, a batch-capable scanner, and a Mac equipped with Apple's $999 Final Cut Pro 4. With Final Cut Pro 4's RT Extreme feature, you can preview the animatic in real time as you build it. And when you're finished, you can output the animatic from Final Cut Pro 4 to tape, DVD, or a Web site.

Macworld Secrets: Of Macs and MIDI

Macworld Secrets: Of Macs and MIDI 06/25/2004 10:39 AM
Ask a typical Mac user the meaning of the term MIDI, and you'll probably get one of two responses: "You mean those cheesy music files you find on the cheesiest of Web sites?" or "Huh?" MIDI has gotten something of a bad rap, thanks to the Web. But in fact, it's an important music-making tool. The announcement of GarageBand earlier this year has brought the MIDI discussion to mainstream Mac users -- and for good reason. Thanks to this marvelous application, even people with the barest modicum of musical talent have turned their minds (and ears) to the tuneful potential of the Mac. If you want to gain a better understanding of what makes GarageBand groove, knowing a bit about MIDI helps. We'll provide some background and show you how to use MIDI files to expand GarageBand's repertoire.

Avaratec 6200 Series Laptop with "Mobile
Theater" 07/28/2004 01:20 PM

Averatec added another low-end but interesting laptop to its lineup today, the 6200 Series, which along with all the standard flavor (including the rare but decent Athlon XP-M processor at the core), the biggest highlight of the "mobile theater" machine is the ability to play DVDs and CDs on the unit without actually powering up the entire machine, presumably saving battery life (and definitely saving hassle). Averatec claims about a 4.5-hour battery life when watching movies -- if that pans out, that would be better than most stand-alone DVD players.

Prices start at around $1,200 via standard retail channels, or $1,249 straight from Averatec (the extra $50 is for bugging them, kid.)

Here are links to the RealPlayer and Windows Media Player versions of it. (Please keep in mind that I had three minutes to cover a lot of territory, so, yes, what I say is waaay over-simplified.)...
