One cool thing about Macs is that most of their applications interrelate and communicate with each other out of the box. Information bounces across multiple applications seamlessly.

This week on the show I take a look at the new iTunes app store, ways to raise money online, how to install Windows on your Mac for free — sort of, how to work well with others online and how to schedule and manage messages. My guest this week is Make Use Of author Abhijeet Mukherjee and we chat a bit about some of his posts on Make Use Of and his own blog, Jeetblog.com
I’d love to hear from you. Send me your MP3 files containing comments about the show, reviews of your favourite websites or just general chitchat. I’ll choose a few to play on the show each week. Send them to podcast [at] makeuseof [dot] com.
