Weekly Forum Highlights

The MacTalk forums have never been busier, so it's easy to miss the good threads that pop up - every weekend, I'll post a list of what I think are the best threads from the past week, so you get to feast on the cream of the crop. <a href="http://twitter.com/mactalk">You can also follow MacTalk on Twitter</a>, where the MacTalk team tweets links to great new threads as soon as they happen.
