Macintosh News Network
MacNN (Macintosh News Network) is a website with a primary focus on posting news and information regarding Apple Computer. In addition to posting news directly related to Apple, MacNN reports on stories it believes are of interest to the Apple community.
In 2001 MacNN was sold to NewsFactor Network. Negative reader reaction to the heavy-handedness of the takeover resulted in the sale being reversed, with the one stipulation being that MacNN carry a NewsFactorNetwork headline box at the bottom of the news page for a full year. Thus, MacNN emerged intact and has been under its original ownership ever since.
At one point (1999–2001 or so), MacNN had an iMac portal featuring iMac-specific news. This was deactivated in mid 2001 or so and folded into the main page at MacNN.com.
There used to be DealNN (a Mac-centric deal site), which died around mid-2003.
Online Forums
MacNN maintains several online forums for discussion of Apple Macintosh hardware and software, Mac OS X, Mac peripherals, and other Macintosh-related topics, such as networking, development, and web design, as well as a lounge which plays home to other topics including politics, current events, and the general chatter that is common in all OT forums.
MacNN is a large Mac news site with an active forum community.
A major update to the forum software is in progress.
The GUI Customization forum is pretty much the center of GUI customization on Mac OS X.
