Hey everyone.
I’ve had several emails today from people who indicate that they want to enter the contest, but didn’t find out in time/lost their cat/broke their hip/just got out of jail/etc., and they’ve asked for a little more time.

One of the biggest complaints about the otherwise perfect MacBook product line is the extreme heat they put out. Over the past year, I’ve tried several methods of cooling my MacBook Pro, including software tools as well as various fan and cooling systems.
But among the many solutions I’ve tried, the best I’ve found so far is the Vantec LapCool 4 (lpc-430).
Aside from being an excellent way to cool down the system (my MBP 17″ runs at about 42 degrees Celsius on average), it adds a great deal of functionality to the system:
3 USB 2 ports
8 in 1 card reader
Adjustable fan control (low noise, too)
foldable design, perfect for throwing in your bag

Today’s article is geared toward those of us (you) who work with their Macs and frequently save files that they need to send to others, including Windows users.
In some cases, it is necessary to make a couple of small changes when sending out these files…the problem is with ‘file extensions’, and it is an age old issue.
For instance, when you create a Word document, it is saved as (for instance) ‘mydocument.doc’. The ‘.doc’ is the extension. In most Windows applications, that extension is necessary for the computer to know what program opens it (as opposed to your Mac, which uses the files metadata to associate it with an appropriate application).
This article will help you ease the pain of sending/receiving a file that needs to be used cross-platform. We’ll be using Office 2004 applications as the example programs, but most software has similar settings.
