ICY Dock review from icydock.com plus a study of USB speeds on the Mac vs. Windows (why is USB on the Mac 80% faster?). Drew switches to the Mac and how to do delete on the Mac. Why you should use a wiki like pbwiki.com and understanding wikis through Common Craft. Bart decides to make a screencast of his workflow in creating HDR photography - testing out Jing from jingproject.org and Screenflow from varasoftware.com and giving us his opinions.
