What New Years means to Me
The New Year means a lot to some. It may represent new beginnings, dropping old habits, creating new ones or just partying your ass off all night long. We all have our idea of January 1st and where we will be and the mindset accompanying us. As you get older, it tends to be another day but it shouldnt be. New Years should entail, . The Cliche', out with the old, in with the new is the best way to understand my explanation. I will elaborate what New Years means to me.

Happy Holidays from MPG! [UPDATED]
December 24th: Thanks to all of our employees. We wiill be celebrating our one year anniversary soon and the continued support of readers has really meant a lot to myself and staff. With 2005 almost here, Macworld San Francisco plans are now full swing and our redesign looks great! We just have to work out design kinks and plug-in the code (easier said than done) and a new design should be very soon; although we will miss our deadline for Macworld release. Finally, the iPod giveaway is still open. Email to enter the contest.
I leave you with a wonderful holiday email from a dear friend in Marin County, California. I have known Ms. S for over three years and finally met in person last year at MWSF. She sent me the following:
Desiring to leave you with good tidings, but not wishing to offendanyone, I want to give you all my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most joyous traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, but with respect for the religious persuasion of others who choose to practice their own religion as well as those who choose not to practice a religion at all; Additionally, a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2005, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions have helped make our society great, without regard to the race, creed, color, religious, or sexual preferences of the wishees.
This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for himself or others and no responsibility for any unintended emotional stress these greetings may bring to those not caught up in the holiday spirit. In other words, Happy Holidays!
Happy Holidays and have a merry Chrismakuh!
Sincerely,
Adam Jackson

Close-Look: Radtech.us
Radtech has been making cool products for the Mac for a while now. Their amazing material used for iPod and notebook cases as well as screen protectors and Mac and PC companies have given cleaning but lately Radtech has ventured into other sectors of the computer industry. Not abandoning the Mac products like the new Podsleeve for all iPods in more colors including black and white; Radtech has become a reseller for an Australian company, STM, which makes bags and cases designed with mobile computer users in mind. The bags have unique features and a subtle design that dont look like typical computer bags. This is good for traveling notebook users that try to hide their computers so foil thieves. Carrying a notebook case on a plane is asking for it to be stolen. Radtech is also selling a screen cleaner spray that works with almost all computer products without damaging them. What sets this cleaner apart from others is the addition of Radtechs Optex cloth (lint-free and machine washable) allowing for better convenience over other cleaners that sell one time use cloths or those that you cant wash after getting dirty.
