As we move into the Dog Days of summer it's definitely easier to stay indoors and entertain yourself online than it is to go out in the humid sweatbox that is late July just about anywhere Stateside. Luckily, we gathered up all the news you missed when you were lying on your fainting couch fanning yourself with our back issues. We're good to you like that.

 

Features:

 

- Staying Put: The Case For Sticking With Mac OS X Snow Leopard - Early adopters are the front line in the ongoing battle for best Operating System, and it's no joke that Lion brings a whole different kettle of fish to your Mac. There's point zero release issues, compatibility with your older hardware, and a few pieces of software missing. The question you have to ask yourself is this: is it worth upgrading? The answer is...

- App Store Showdown: Apple vs. Amazon - Apple did a great job of catching some software and providing links to it from their home page, but the Mac App Store really, really improved that experience. Seeing where the money was, Amazon jumped on this bandwagon with some serious Mac friendly offerings. The question is, which of these two portals gives you the best chance to grab some great new titles?

 

Reviews:

 

- App Showdown: Craigslist Apps - Looking for some bargains IRL? Craigslist has definitely been a go-to site for years now for shoppers hunting for deals, but trying to use it on a mobile device is like a free kick in the teeth. Three app developers try to make the experience fun and a lot less kick-related. Who does the best job for the best price? 

 

 

- July's Highest Rated Reviews- If you love getting bite-sized pieces of enjoyment from us with all the best things we looked at in a month's time, this is really a regular feature you'll want to visit. We've got apps, games, gear, and more, and all of it comes with the Mac|Life kiss of greatness.

 

How-Tos:

 

- How to Track Your iPhone If It's Stolen

- This one is important, people. Sooner or later, it may just happen to you. You leave your desk for a minute and some light fingered fellow makes off with your iPhone or your backpack (with your iPhone inside). In the old days, that was it for you and your phone. But Cupertino's got your backs, provided you follow these easy-to-use instructions.

 

- How To Use Your Apple ID in OS X Lion - Now that Lion's rocking your hard drive, your Apple ID, last seen working on your iOS device or in iTunes is now a whole lot more important. Here's how you can make that little email do a whole lot more work.
