Apple Apple links

My mac hasn't arrived yet (though it's in the post) so I'll need your help to gather together the definitive collection of useful Apple links. Know where to get the best apple news hot off the press, the latest share/freeware releases, or the best guides to tweaking your mac? Post the link below and I'll pop it in this post... simple.

>> News

- Mac World

- Apple Insider
- Mac Minute
- Mac Rumors
- Mac Daily News

Ipod related...

- Ipod Lounge


>> Software

- Version Tracker - very useful website which tracks the latest version of your favourite share/freeware and commercial software for you. You have to join to use some of its features, but it's free to do so.
- Pure Mac - list of Mac software, categorized by type of software.
- Bit-tech useful mac software thread

>> Mac mods

> Hardware

- Overclock your mac mini
- Getting inside your mac mini doesn't look particularly difficult, there's a video floating around (can't find a none BT link to it though) and a PDF from apple. I'm not sure what everyone's obsession with using putty knives is, anything rigid, thin and fairly wide should work - I plan to use a fish slice myself
- List of mac compatible WLAN devices - very useful if you want to save some money networking your mac.
