About the Authors

Edward C. Baig writes the weekly Personal Technology column in USA TODAY and makes regular video appearances on the web and TV. He appears weekly on ABC Newss TechBytes, shown on local ABC TV affiliate stations across the nation. Ed is also the author of Macs For Dummies, 10th Edition, and cowriter (with Bob LeVitus) of iPad For Dummies. Before joining USA TODAY as a columnist and reporter in 1999, Ed spent six years at Business Week, where he wrote and edited stories about consumer tech, personal finance, collectibles, travel, and wine tasting, among other topics. He received the Medill School of Journalism 1999 Financial Writers and Editors Award for contributions to the Business Week Investor Guide to Online Investing. That followed a three-year stint at U.S. News & World Report, where Ed was the lead tech writer for the News You Can Use section but also dabbled in numerous other subjects.

Ed began his journalist career at Fortune magazine, gaining the best basic training imaginable during his early years as a fact checker and contributor to the Fortune 500. Through the dozen years he worked at the magazine, Ed covered leisure-time industries, penned features on the lucrative dating market and the effect of religion on corporate managers, and was heavily involved in the Most Admired Companies project. Ed also started Fortunes Products to Watch column, a venue for low- and high-tech items.

Bob LeVitus, often referred to as Dr. Mac, has written or cowritten more than 65 popular computer books, including iPad For Dummies, Incredible iPhone Apps For Dummies, OS X Mountain Lion For Dummies, and Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac For Dummies for John Wiley & Sons, Inc.; Stupid Mac Tricks and Dr. Macintosh for Addison-Wesley; and The Little iTunes Book, 3rd Edition, and The Little iDVD Book, 2nd Edition, for Peachpit Press. His books have sold millions of copies worldwide. Bob has also penned the popular Dr. Mac column for the Houston Chronicle for the past 15 years and has been published in pretty much every magazine that ever used the word Mac in its title. His achievements have been documented in major media around the world. (Yes, that was Bob juggling a keyboard in USA TODAY a few years back!)
