June buzz: Switch to Mac series & myMacBUZZ’s first anniversary

Here are some highlights of the going-ons in June here at myMacBUZZ.

Switch To Mac series

First, I’m proud to announce our Switch to Mac series. This series of articles aims to be a comprehensive guide of topics for new switchers to the Mac. I think now will be a good time as Apple has recently updated its MacBook line and there have been rumblings that Apple will release new MacBook Pros and iMacs at the WWDC.

Anyway, here’s what you can expect from this series of articles appearing every Monday from 4 June:

  1. Installing applications and software on Mac OS X
    Fill up your Applications folder

  2. Managing files and metadata with Finder and Spotlight
    Mastering the Finder-Spotlight tag team combo

  3. What you need to play any video format on your Mac
    Tools you need to watch any videos you can get your hands on

  4. BitTorrent 101 for Mac newbies
    Getting started with torrents on OS X

  5. iTunes: the world’s best media manager
    Manage your music, movies, podcasts, audiobooks and your iPod too

  6. Take control of your digital photo library with iPhoto
    Organise and sort thousands of photos with no sweat

  7. Chat your heart out: IM on your Mac
    Beyond Windows Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger

  8. You’ve got mail! Mastering email on your Mac
    Migrate, set up and power through email in OS X

  9. Managing and keeping your schedule with iCal
    Create and share calendars with ease

  10. Drop Microsoft Office and master iWork
    Create, present and publish your work with style

WWDC and iPhone coverage

WWDC kicks off in 10 days time and we’ll be sacrificing our sleep to bring you the latest news when you wake up. Also, look out for opinions and first hand accounts of WWDC right here on myMacBUZZ.

And what of the iPhone. At last the long awaited iPhone will arrive in June. Knowing Apple, we can expect it to be the last day of the month. Will Apple and AT&T launch a fixed-mobile convergence service like I predicted? We’ll just have to wait and see.
