Saying goodbye to PowerPC apps and hello to Lion
Several months ago we talked about checking your running applications to ensure they would work with Lion, OS X 10.7, which no longer supports applications written for the older PowerPC processors.

MobileMe and iCloud
If you use Apple’s MobileMe services -- for Windows or the Macintosh -- do not blithely switch over to iCloud.
MobileMe is going away shortly and you are going to be forced into the move, but it is not always a smooth process.
Don’t end up like my client in Prague who lost all access to her email because she didn’t read the warnings. Read More...
