01 Solution 6: Facebook Birthdays are Clogging My Calendar!
The complaints against iOS 7 began flying around ever since the release of the new Apple operating system a few weeks ago.

Fortunately, there are a few fairly simple fixes for the complaints logged against iOS 7, many of which you can learn how to do in 60 seconds – Today we will be fixing Facebook clogging.

05 Use Pages to print labels
TUAW has posted this article by Steven Sande to help us get Christmas cards in the mail. While it is probably too late for most of us at this time, it is a good place to start for doing mailing labels.

06 Thirtieth Anniversary of the Macintosh
Yes, I know it is hard to believe, especially if you were an Apple ][+ or //e user, but next month marks the 30th anniversary of the introduction of the Mac. As they said in the famous 1984 commercial:
On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh.
And you’ll see why 1984 won’t be like “1984”.
