The Apple Expo is Europe’s Apple conference — similar to the Macworld expo in the US. Apple Expo ‘08 has posted details about the expo, including dates for this year’s conference: Wednesday, September 17 through Saturday, September 20, in Paris, France.
Currently, there are only two iPhone events scheduled out of the over 30 planned events. It is a nice change to see that the iPhone will not “steal the show” in Europe like it does at Apple conferences in the US. You can see all of the details, exhibitors, and scheduled events on the Apple Expo website.
As we noted earlier, Apple will not be attending this year’s Apple Expo.

If you think Firefox could run a little faster on your Mac, then you might want to download one of BeatnikPad’s custom builds of Firefox 3. “Minefield” (previously known as BonEcho for pre-3.0 releases) is Neil Lee’s custom build of Firefox. He is currently offering custom builds for:
- Minefield (Firefox) 3.0 for Intel
- Minefield (Firefox) 3.0 for PowerPC G5
- Minefield (Firefox) 3.0 for PowerPC G4
Neil Lee has been offering custom builds of Firefox for many years now. They can make Firefox run a bit faster and smoother on older Macs. You can download them for free (though donations are accepted) from the BeatnikPad website.

“Some General Tips for Switch to Mac From Windows,” is Walt Mossberg’s new post in which he tells users, well, how to switch from Windows to a Mac with ease. He covers the menu bar, task bar, Start menu, control panel, keyboard shortcuts, quitting programs, minimizing windows, switching programs, right-clicking, and finally, dealing with the screen.
So, if you are a new Mac user, you might find these tips and tricks helpful. (Walt notes that you can also find tips similar to his on Apple’s Mac 101 website.) I’m personally grateful to Walt for writing this blog entry, which is part of a larger article in the Wall Street Journal. This shows that there are still true big media journalists who are open to other platforms besides Windows/PC.
TUAW also invites you to check out our ever-growing Mac 101 section to find tips, tricks and more for getting around in Mac OS X.
Thanks, Christine!
