The launch of MacResearcher.com

A new Mac site has asked ASUMAC to announce the launch of their new site:

The MacResearcher team is proud to announce the official launch of MacResearcher.com (http://www.macresearcher.com), the ultimate online resource and community for the Mac-loving scientist. MacResearcher offers articles, news, and reviews as well as a diverse selection of forums for community interaction.

In the true spirit of community, MacResearcher allows and encourages all members to step up to the digital soap box and submit content for publication on the MacResearcher.com main page. If you're an Xgrid guru, a digital gene hacker, algorithm architect, or Powerbook toting physicist, MacResearcher offers you the platform to share your arcane knowledge with the über-intelligent world of MacResearchers. MacResearcher.com is for MacResearchers by MacResearchers, so If you'd like to add a feature to the site, run a MacResearcher blog, or host an open-source software project, MacResearcher can accommodate you.

Head over to MacResearcher.com now for the latest news, tips, and tricks. All forms of feedback are welcome. Thank you for taking the time to read our announcement.

Sincerely,

MacResearcher.com Team
