After the Fukushima disaster, bogus radiation testing apps abounded – now Scosche has launched what it’s calling a true pocket radiation tester for your iPhone or iPod Touch.
The portable radiation sniffer called RDTX-PRO, priced at $350, might cost more than your device, but it looks like it’s a hit. Launched yesterday, at this writing it’s already out of stock on the company website.

Well, that was quick: just an hour or two after it broke that Apple lost an iPhone 5 prototype at a San Francisco tequila lounge, someone’s already given it the good old Downfall treatment.
This one starts slow, but it really gets good in the tantrum part of things. “What will they lose next, Tim Cook’s sex tape?”
McDonalds. One goes there for burgers, french fries, and occasionally a tasty McFlurry. One should not go there to buy an iPad, however. A young woman has learned that lesson the hard way.
The new CEO of Apple is responding to customer emails left and right from his [email protected] address. Thanks to an email sent to that address, Apple’s VP of Internet Services has now shed a little more light on the availability of iTunes Match to customers outside of the US.
Oh man, not again. In July, Apple lost yet another iPhone prototype in a San Francisco bar… this time, a testing prototype of the iPhone 5.
This is one Mac setup you don’t see every day. Deep in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest, Chief Almir can be seen surfing the internet on his 11.6 inch MacBook Air. He leads the Suri people of Brazil, and he helps his tribe utilize technology to protect the Amazon from extinction.
The latest version of Apple’s Photo Stream beta app has a new icon for “taking a photo with your iPhone”… one that appears to feature an iPhone 5 with a larger screen and elongated, capacitive home button. You know, just like all the rumors and cases have been suggesting.
Art gaffe, or can we just all take as read the look of the iPhone 5 now that icons for it are creeping into other products?
As part of the recent Newsweek cover story on Steve Jobs retirement and his legacy inside and outside of Apple, Cult of Mac was invited to contribute our own piece about how, more than anything else, Jobs’ true genius is in managing the creative process. Here’s what we came up with: the 10 Commandments of Steve,

Writer Lisen Stromberg lives in Palo Alto, just down the street from Steve Jobs. She has an awesome and touching post about Jobs as a neighbor who waves and says hello.
Spotify hasn’t even bothered with a native iPad app yet, but with their latest move, it looks like they might never have to: they are giving devs the tools to embed Spotify music streaming into their own apps.
If you’ve been waiting for Apple’s iPad 2 to be made available as discounted refurbished units through Apple’s online store, giddyup! They might not last long.
Hey, what do you know! A mere month before it is expected that Sprint will finally get an iPhone for its network to call its own, the nation’s fourth largest carrier is beefing up their early termination fees, thus guaranteeing that they will be able to milk the maximum amount of money possible from impatient switchers!
When HP killed its TouchPad, dropping the price to $99, the PC maker set off a firestorm of interest in the tablet that nobody previously wanted. Now HP said it will restart manufacturing for a limited time to meet what it says is “unfulfilled demand.”
It’s hardly a surprise that Steve Jobs made the cover of Newsweek the week after he announced his retirement as Apple’s CEO. What is surprising, though, is what a fitting tribute to Steve’s legacy it is. “American Genius” indeed. What a fantastic cover.
AT&T is now selling its first tablet compatible with its blazing fast new LTE network. Sad news, though: it’s not an iPad, just a crummy Android tablet.
Apple iPhone users, eagerly awaiting the extra bandwidth from AT&T’s purchase of T-Mobile may have to tighten their belts. The U.S. Department of Justice Wednesday filed an antitrust lawsuit, blocking approval of the $39 billion deal on grounds it will “substantially lessen competition.”
Apple founder and recently retired CEO Steve Jobs has accumulated a personal fortune of $8.3 billion, but despite this, he is not known for his philanthropic contributions — at least, not publicly. According to the public record, he hasn’t given any money to charity in decades, and he reportedly declined to join Bill Gates’ and Warren E. Buffett’s Giving Pledge, a campaign to persuade the wealthiest to give away at least half their fortunes.
So is it time Jobs pulled a Bill Gates and start giving his money away?
Chinese environmental activists are threatening to tarnish Apple’s image unless the tech giant reduces the amount of pollution coming from suppliers in this populous country. Five non-governmental organizations Wednesday released a report charging Apple uses suppliers which take “advantage of the loopholes in developing countries’ environmental management systems.”
Find yourself longing for a numeric keypad while using Apple’s wireless keyboard? Mobee has an easy solution: a sticker that turns your Magic Trackpad into a ‘Magic Numpad‘.
It seems that parts for at least one of Apple’s upcoming iPhones are surfacing every day. Today’s component is the stainless steel band that surrounds the new device, which is distinctly different than those currently built for the GSM and CDMA iPhone 4.
Apple is reportedly working on a brand new new online diagnostics tool that could solve problems with your iOS device through your mobile Safari browser — saving you a trip to your local Apple store.
Apple provides a password reset utility that is very handy when you really need it. In versions of Mac OS X before Lion you accessed this utility by booting your Mac with the included restore DVD. Mac OS X Lion can still reset passwords, but for unknown reasons Apple decided to hide this ability.
Today’s tip will show you how to discover the hidden password reset tool in the Mac OS X Lion Recovery HD Utility.

With a number of successful titles already in the App Store, I’m sure those of your who are into iOS gaming will have experienced at least one of Halfbrick Studio’s awesome titles. Its upcoming release, Jetpack Joyride, brings back the loveable Barry Steakfries for yet more carnage, and based on this trailer alone, I cannot wait to get my hands on it.
Remember that cool MacBook Pro with built-in 3G that one lucky surfer picked up on Craigslist? It got a lot of attention a couple weeks ago when it was listed on eBay, with bids in excess of $70,000. Unfortunately for its owner, Apple had the listing removed, and now it wants the machine back.
One of the most annoying features in OS X Lion for me has been the little checkbox on the shutdown dialog box that states, “Reopen windows when logging back in.” Going through the trouble of managing this checkbox every time I shut down is a hassle I’d rather not go through. Fortunately, there is a neat little Terminal trick that will allow you to render this button useless, as I’ll show you in the video below.
