Macworld Editor-in-Chief Jason Snell outlines the highlights of this month’s issue of Macworld magazine, including discussions of security both Mac specific and in general, their recent focus on iWeb as well as the iLife ’06 suite, how Macworld decides on what product reviews to publish, the power of Disk Utility, large iTunes libraries and more.

Christopher Breen discusses the Apple-Hollywood connection, the possibilities for an iTunes Movie Store, pricing, accessibility issues and more.. Chris covers why this battle is different from the fight over music, how video is consumed, and creates his own definitions for different classes of video customers. Chris also covers how TiVo factors into the mix and names his pick of the best consumer video option…for now.

Jim Dalrymple of Macworld discusses Apple’s decision to allow thrid parties to dominate the virtualization options for running Windows in the Mac OS, tries to make sense of Microsoft’s switch on their licensing position on running Windows in virtualization, and provides some thoughts on the iPhone’s critical success factors from a dedicated Blackberry user’s perspective.

Jim Dalrymple discusses problems with his PowerBook, the (sometimes) extreme methods he used to troubleshoot the problem (including a trip to Jim’s own brand of isolation) and the final solution. Jim also talks about some recent Mac news headlines, how he approaches them and learns the power of iChat messages.
