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 [...]
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. Reader Larry Pressnell noted that since the most recent iTunes update, his extra screens have been accessible in iTunes.

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 [...]
Is this Steve Jobs driving a tank in a classic Apple TV spot from the late 1990s? That was the rumor at the time: Jobs was making cameos in Apple commercials.

Sure, I could write a whole How-To on rolling your own “Back To My Mac.” It involves port forwarding, obtaining a Dynamic DNS, blah blah blah.
Or you could use the iPhone app LogMeIn Ignition [iTunes Link] to remotely access to your Mac or PC in three steps.
First, sign up for LogMeIn free and download the [...]
This is a great idea, and bound to go down very well with your kids.

The San Francisco based company Waterfield presents the Muzetto laptop bag. This “urban man bag” will make the geekiest nerd feel hip. Don’t be surprised when your fashion-forward girlfriend tries to steal it.
Designed as a lightweight laptop tote, this bag is high quality; it’s made from distressed dark brown leather and [...]
Seems like a no-brainer: Take two different concepts that work great separately, Frankenstein them together and — viola! Instant more amazingness!
Except we all know how the Frankenstein story ended. The LiquidAUX story isn’t as ugly as that. But it isn’t pretty either.

Some readers might remember the fuss a few weeks ago, when Snow Leopard came out and people noticed that it did something screwy to the way files behave.
By removing support for Creator Codes in 10.6, Apple also removed the system’s hitherto built-in ability to distinguish which application created a file, and re-open it in that [...]

As I noted a couple of weeks ago, I want a way to view all my iPhone apps on my iPhone, not just through iTunes. I review lots of iPhone apps and am a keen iPhone gamer. When apps vanish into the void, I forget they’re there (and so Spotlight isn’t much use), and it’s [...]
Our recent preview of Lightroom 3 – Beta has generated a lot of buzz about the future of digital processing. One of the questions that keeps coming up is: how do I migrate from Aperture to Lightroom?

[...] A New York City residents’ group has filed a formal, public complaint against Apple, saying that its lower-Manhattan Apple store is the “WORST NEIGHBOR in SoHo.” The group is vexed by not only the noise and lights of the building, but by the riff-raff Apple attracts, including: 1) “young teenage girls who screamed incessantly”; 2) overnight sidewalk campers who give SoHo the “appearance of a homeless encampment”; and 3) Apple employees who eat, smoke and litter on neighbors’ stoops.

Apple Store SoHo cited as a bad neighbor, on August 22nd, 2008 at 7:45 am
okay the employee thing blows. but did they go to the store management to tell them and to have them tell their employees to stop. what were they told by the management. if they didn’t complain, the management can’t be blamed for not doing anything cause they might not have known. did the store talk to the local police about the whole iphone day and the concerts and set up traffic control. if they did and it was poor then it’s the police that are to blame not the store. cause generally they can’t control what’s outside their lease line. they don’t have jurisdiction. if they didn’t talk to the local authorities then yeah, blame the hell out of them

Apple products might be nice at the beginning, but now they are becoming more like geek’s stuff. Things for those super geeks who do have anything better to show off.
I am so sick of listening to those geeky people bragging on and on about apple products.
Not to mention those sales in the store, they are the worst. They are disgusting. They don’t smile, don’t greet people, they don’t have any customer services basic skills. who do they think they are? Just a bunch of geeks selling some computer stuff.
With all these negative images of apple stores, apple staff, i am just sick to see an apple product now.
