SCOTT KELBY BU0 fliers\ "Scott Kelby nails the joys and frustrations of being a Mac user in a PC world (though Scott's writing isn't always 'PC'). You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll shout, ~men.' But you'll always be entertained -and know you're in the company ofa kindred spirit." DENNIS SELLERS MacCentral.com "My three favorite writers about the Macintosh experience are Guy Kawasaki, Andy Ihnatko, and Scott Kelby. Scott has the unusual ability to channel his excitement and frustration into humor and clarity that makes me laugh while he makes me think." JAY NELSON Editor & Publisher, Design Tools Monthly "Filled with insightful wit and outrageous comedy, Macintosh ... The Naked Truth will have you in stitches. A must-read for any Macintosh enthusiast." STAN FLACK President/Publisher, MacMinute.com "This is a book all Mac users should read! Scott speaks up for the average Mac user and says publicly what we've all said privately. It's a great read!" SHAWN KING The Mac Show Live "A fun read I'm sure all Mac users can relate to. I laughed out loud thinking 'yeah, that happened to me too.' Ifyou own a Mac, you should read this book." KURT CHRISTENSEN Version Tracker "Kelby is one sick puppy.

CHAPTER 1 9 Life after switching to Macintosh Using a Mac is easy; being a Mac user sometimes isn't. CHAPTER2 27 "I can't believe you actually use a Macintosh!" and other stupid things PC users say Congress should rethink giving PC users freedom of speech. CHAPTER3 43 Things Apple doesn't tell you about owning a Macintosh Since Apple's not going to tell you, dontchathink somebody should? CHAPTER4 57 The definitive platform test Find out if you're really a Mac person, or just a PC person in cool clothing. CHAPTERS 73 How to resist the overwhelming temptation to strangle Apple's management Is "Apple Management" an oxymoron? And is "oxymoron" actually a synonym for a pimple cream for really dumb people? vi CHAPTER6 105 CompUSA: Your own private hell Tips for surviving the visualization of Apple's place in the world. CHAPTER? 119 Why PC users need Apple Here's why they should be kissing Apple's butt (instead of Microsoft's). CHAPTERS 131 "Don't pick fights with people who buy ink by the barrel" PC users write me nasty letters, and I give them the public flogging they so richly deserve. CHAPTER9 153 Pot shots at Microsoft, the media, and anything else that gets in our way Nobody gets out of here alive! CHAPTER 10 187 The 20 most important things I've learned about being a Mac user There were actually 22 things, but that made for a really clunky chapter title. CHAPTER 11 205 The secret of Macintosh Here's a hint: It's not Apple's advertising. vii About the author Scott is Editor-in-Chief of Mac Design Magazine, the graphics magazine for Macintosh users, and Photoshop User magazine, the Adobe® Photoshop®" How-to" magazine. Scott is co-founder of Mac Today magazine, and has been a contributing editor and columnist to several Mac Web sites, including MacCentral.com. He is president of the National Association of Scott Kelby Photoshop Professionals (NAPP), the worldwide trade association for Adobe Photoshop users, and is President ofKW Media Group, Inc., a Florida-based software education and publishing firm. Author of the best-selling books Photoshop 6 Down & Dirty Tricks and Photoshop 6 Photo-Retouching Secrets, Scott is also co-author of Photoshop 6 Killer Tips, all from New Riders Publishing.

Scott lives in the Tampa Bay area of Florida with his wife Kale bra and his 5-year-old son Jordan. For more background info on him, visit www.scottkelby.com. ix Acknowledgments erhaps the greatest gift I've been blessed with is to be surrounded by such talented, amazing, and absolutely wonderful people, without Pwhom this book would not have been possible. First, I'd like to thank my amazing wife Kale bra. Her limitless energy is only matched by her beauty; her genuine enthusiasm for life is only matched by her heart. She always knows just what to say, and just when to say it, and her wit and marvelous sense of humor have made these past 14 years an absolute pleasure. To me, she is proof without a doubt that fairy tales do come true. I'm particularly delighted to acknowledge the book's editor (and my good friend of many years) Richard Theriault. Dick was my first full-time editor at Mac Today magazine, and anything that was good in it, he had a hand in. Dick retired a few years back to play with his grandchildren, so it took a bit of coaxing (and lightly veiled threats of physical violence) to get him to take this project on, but I wasn't going to have it any other way. Dick is a first-class wordsmith, a true gentleman, and a Macintosh fanatic to the core. It's an honor and privilege to have him edit this book. I want to thank my creative team who worked at a "ludicrous speed:' including my creative director Felix Nelson, for pulling yet another rabbit out of his hat. To my Production Editor Chris Main, for doing all the thankless work and for his excellent suggestions along the way. To Barbara Thompson for putting a magnifying glass on the text, and to Dave Damstra, for once again "Damstracizing" the pages into a very "cleanly" state. To my assistant Gina "Yo Gina" Profitt, for keeping a lot of plates in the air while I was writing this book. To Stacy Behan, who doesn't know it yet, but will be doing a wonderful job on the book's Web site, and to everyone at KW Media Group for defining what teamwork is all about. Thanks to my business partner and friend Jim Workman, who encour­ aged me to write this book, and whose uncanny memory helped with some of the research.

    Long-Term Growth Leonard Sherman

    Leadership Imperatives To Achieve The Holy Grail of Business: Long-Term Growth Leonard Sherman ChangeThis | 149.04 In all human endeavors we tend to revere stars that perform at a superior level over a long and illustrious career. Sports Hall of Famers Aaron, Montana, Jordan, Pelé, and Nicklaus and arts honorees Ozawa, Tharp, and Simon have earned legendary acclaim for performing immeasurably beyond the reach of most mere mortals. In business, as well, a few widely recognized companies have been able to deliver consistently superior growth over the long-term, including Amazon, who last year became the fastest company to reach $100 billion in sales, and J&J, 3M, and The Ball Corporation, each of whom has been out-innovating and outgrowing the overall market for more than a century. The Elusiveness of Long-Term Growth But these are exceptions to the rule that most companies are unable to sustain superior growth. For example, in perhaps the most definitive study of long-term business performance, the Corporate Executive Board (CEB), analyzed the long-term revenue growth of approximately five hundred Global 100 and other companies over the past half-century. The study found that only 13 percent of large enterprises could sustain a real annual revenue growth rate of as little as 2 percent over successive decades.1 ChangeThis | 149.04 Given increasing globalization and technological disruption, it is becoming harder than ever for companies to sustain growth. Researchers at the Deloitte Center for the Edge found that the “topple rate,” measuring the frequency with which companies lose their market leadership position from year to year, has grown by nearly 40 percent over the past forty years.

I’ll then archive the content to another document so we can still access it but we only need to access the same document for all the new news. August 2020 Apple Updates, Improvements and Company News macOS Catalina 10.15.6 includes improvements to Apple News, a new option to optimise video streaming on HDR-compatible Mac notebooks for improved battery life, improvements to USB mouse and trackpad handling, and a fix for an issue that could cause the software update process to change the computer's name. 10.15.6 and the corresponding security updates for Mojave and High Sierra address a variety of serious vulnerabilities. Safari 13.1.2 is part of Catalina 10.15.6 and is also available for Mojave and High Sierra. It addresses 11 security issues, some of which can be remotely exploited to execute arbitrary code. iOS 13.6 brings the much-heralded digital car keys feature (initially for very recently made BMWs, and including key sharing via Messages and a 'power reserve' allowing keys to be used up to five hours after the phone's battery runs out). iOS 13.6 and iPadOS 13.6 include Apple News improvements (including audio news), a 'symptoms' category in the Health app, and various changes and fixes relating to software updates, iCloud Drive, Wi-Fi calling, and other features. The updates also address a total of 29 issues that could be variously exploited to execute arbitrary code, view sensitive information, and allow cross-site scripting, among others.
