A New Kind Of Heist: Six Apps For Free

Those crazy MacHeisters are at it again, and this time the deal is even harder to resist.
The first ever MacHeist Nano won’t cost you a penny. You can download, without charge, fully licensed copies of ShoveBox, WriteRoom, Twitterific, TinyGrab, and Hordes of Orcs. If 500,000 people take part (which I think is a pretty safe [...]

Getting More iPhone Home Screens – And Keeping Them

A couple of weeks back, I wrote Temporarily Get More iPhone Home Screens Via Cunning Bug Exploit, but had heard staying away from the iTunes Applications tab within my iPhone was probably a Very Good Idea.

Cult of Mac Favorite: MobileStacks Is the Best Reason To Jailbreak. Period.

I really like Stacks on my Mac. Stacks makes it fast and easy to find files, folders and apps right from the Dock. It makes managing a Mac pretty slick with all sorts of little UI tricks. That’s why I recently gave MobileStack a go on my jailbroken iPhone.
I must say that it lives up to the [...]

Demo Video for Star Walk – Mobile Astronomy App

Here’s a demo video for Star Walk, the astronomy app for iPhone and iPod I posted on yesterday. The more I look at this app, and the more glowing comments it gets from both reviews on iTunes and CoM readers, the more I wish I’d paid a little better attention in my college astronomy class.

    Seeing “StarWalk” in action ….

    It is *unspeakably* beautiful ….
    The spheroidal curvature of space ….

    In my opinion, I think this video demonstrates most why there *never* be another Steven Jobs.
    He never *once* crowed about the iPhone’s app graphical capabilities sayin’ stuff like,
    “Oh the iPhone’s *way* better than the NintendoDS as far as display goes ….”

    No.
    He never did.

    And that’s what His chatacter, His showmanship, His cleverness is.
    No one else would probably would.ve did that — and it is precisely *because* of that that He is irreplacable.
