On November 26 & 27th, the classic Rolling Stones live album Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! The Rolling Stones in Concert celebrated its 40th anniversary, and to mark the event ABKCO Records released two new box sets. Accompanying the remasters, Ethan Russell's book chronicling the year, Let It Bleed – The Rolling Stones, Altamont, and the End of the Sixties is now available. There is little argument that the Madison Square Garden concerts in 1969 marked a high point in the Rolling Stones career. Do the new reissues and book measure up? Perfect for the Stones fan in your life, they are both Mac Edition Radio Holiday Gift Guide picks.

The first impressions given off at E3 about The Beatles: Rock Band were fantastic. The game was designed with Paul, Ringo, Yoko, Olivia and Dhani Harrison. Does the hype measure up to the game? It's definitely Rock Band; it's just not the same as Rock Band 2. Is the game is good? Does it live up to the hype? Actually, it's better than good; it's great! And The Beatles: Rock Band will make a great gift this holiday season! A Mac Edition Radio Holiday Gift Guide Pick!

In this extended interview with Marc Rochkind, creator of ImageIngester, we learn what led to his creation of the tool that many photographers rely on for easy, accurate, and automated downloading of their memory cards to their computer. While other programs offer an automated approach to download images, nothing has the flexibility or feature set of ImageIngestor, or ImageIngesterPro. With DAM (Digital Asset Management) proving more important then ever, tools like ImageIngester will help to streamline your workflow. Don't miss this interview if you want to make sure those precious images are safely transferred and tagged!
