About the Authors

Joe Hutsko is the author of Green Gadgets For Dummies, Flip Video For Dummies (with Drew Davidson), and Mac All-in-One For Dummies (with Barbara Boyd). For more than two decades, he has written about computers, gadgets, video games, trends, and high-tech movers and shakers for numerous publications and websites, including the New York Times, Macworld, PC World, Fortune, Newsweek, Popular Science, TV Guide, the Washington Post, Wired, Gamespot, MSNBC, Engadget, TechCrunch, and Salon . You can find links to Joes stories on his blog, JOEyGADGET.com .

As a kid, Joe built a shortwave radio, played with electronic project kits, and learned the basics of the BASIC programming language on his first computer, the Commodore Vic 20. In his teens, he picked strawberries to buy his first Apple II computer. Four years after that purchase (in 1984), he wound up working for Apple, where he became the personal technology guru for the companys chairman and CEO. Joe left Apple in 1988 to become a writer and worked on and off for other high-tech companies, including Steve Jobs one-time NeXT. He authored a number of video game strategy guides, including the bestsellers Donkey Kong Country Game Secrets: The Unauthorized Edition, and Rebel Assault: The Official Insiders Guide.

Joes first novel, The Deal, was published in 1999, and he recently rereleased a trade paperback edition of it with a new foreword by the author (bit.ly/thedealjoehutsko).

Barbara Boyd is the co-author with Joe of the third edition of Macs All-in-One For Dummies and the first edition of iPhone 4S All-in-One For Dummies . She is also the author of AARP Tech To Connect: iPad and iCloud For Dummies In A Day . When not writing about technology, Barbara writes about food, gardens, and travel. Shes written for ChilePepper Magazine , Islands , and BeeCulture .

Barbara worked at Apple from 1985 to 1990, beginning as Joes assistant and the first network administrator for the executive staff. She then took a position as an administrator in the Technical Product Support group. Barbara recalls working with people who went on to become top names in technology it was an exciting time to be in Silicon Valley and at Apple in particular. That experience instilled a lifelong fascination with technology and Apple products. Her interest and experience led to subsequent jobs in marketing and publishing at IDG (International Data Group) and later for a small San Francisco design firm. In 1998, she left the corporate world to study Italian, write, and teach.

Presently, Barbara stays busy writing, keeping up with technology, growing olives, and beekeeping. (Shes a certified honey taster.) Barbara divides her time between city life in Rome and country life on an olive farm in Calabria, which she blogs about (intermittently) at honeybeesandolivetrees.blogspot.com/.

Dedication

Joe Hutsko: I dedicate this book to my fabulously thoughtful, kind, caring, smart, creative, beautiful, and amazing co-author and lifelong friend (and karmic life preserver) Barbara Boyd.

Barbara Boyd: I dedicate this book to my wonderful husband, Ugo de Paula. This book had an extremely tight turnaround, and it wouldnt have been possible without his loving support.

Authors Acknowledgments

You see the authors names on the cover, but these books (like any book) are really a collaboration, an effort of a many-membered team. Thanks go to Bob Woerner at Wiley for renewing this title. We were thrilled to once again work with our superb project editor, Linda Morris, who pulled everything together with a calm demeanor. Its also a pleasure to again work with our favorite technical editor, Dennis R. Cohen; his intelligence, editing skill, and wit do not go unappreciated. Thanks, too, to the anonymous people at Wiley who contributed to this book not just editorial, but tech support, legal, accounting, and even the person who delivers the mail. We dont know you but we appreciate the job you do; it takes a lot of worker bees to keep the hive healthy, and each task is important to the whole.
