iHub Is The Shameless Trademark Infringing USB Hub Your Mac Deserves

M.I.C. Gadget is no stranger to having their collective skulls smashed together by Cupertino’s lawyers with a Three Stooges-style acoustic cacophony of coconuts colliding, and I’m sure that’s what is going to happen here with the iHub: a third-party hub that not only looks like a little Apple TV sticking out of your USB port, but actually featuring the official Apple logo.

Trust be told, I actually kind of wish Apple made a USB hub like this. The little Apple logo lights up when the hub is plugged in, and the square Apple TV shape means that you never have to worry about your USB ports rubbing their male connectors shamefully together. Even the box is cute: it looks just like the iPod Nano box! Maybe Apple will make something like this for Thunderbolt.

$10 will get you one, if Apple doesn’t sue MIC Gadget into a juicy paste before you click the order button. [via Gadget Lab]

Goldman: Tablets Will ‘Disrupt’ 35 Percent of PC Sales

By

apple-ipad-2

Wanna scare a PC maker? Pull out a tablet. It’s become common knowledge that the iPad and other tablet devices are going to eat the PC’s breakfast, but now a lengthy Wall Street report calls tablets “one of the most disruptive forces” for PCs this year. How disruptive? Try 21 million lost notebook sales – just this year.

But what about all of these Android-based tablets appearing? Surely Apple’s iPad can’t dominate for long, right? Apple likely will own 64 percent of the tablet market this year and 74 percent if the Android alternatives disappoint. “We believe the downside scenario for Android shipments is more likely at this point,” Goldman Sachs tells investors Tuesday.

Microsoft Releases ‘Photosynth’ – Great New Panorama App for iOS

By

Photosynth-iPhone

Microsoft’s latest iOS offering hit the App Store today in the form of Photosynth; a fantastic photography application for taking 360º panoramic photos on your iPhone. It’s a free download, and one of the most impressive panorama applications I’ve tried.

The first thing I noticed about Photosynth is how easy it is to create your panorama. You simply tap the screen to start and then move your device around – up, down, left, right – and the application captures the images automatically, so there’s no need to move your device bit by bit while tapping a button to capture each tile.

Just 4 days after iOS 4.3.2 was released, redsn0w has been updated. It was initially said that iOS 4.3.2 fixed @i0n1c‘s untether exploit, but was later said that it did not patch his vulnerability. Today, redsn0w was updated to 0.9.6RC14 for both Mac OS X and Windows. Stefan Esser (aka @i0n1c) needed to slightly update his untether exploit. No, this update doesn’t support the iPad 2. More information and download links after the break!

Run Your Own Cloud Server With Iomega’s New Home Media Drive [Review]

It’s a little admitted secret, but one of the biggest reasons people like Network Attached Storage drives is for Torrent downloads. They’re the easiest ways to download obscure British TV shows, for example, that can’t be easily had here in the U.S. After downloading a couple of shows, users watch them via WiFi streaming on their MacBooks or iPads.

Trouble is, Torrent downloads slow everything on the home network to a crawl. Everyone complains when the network is clogged with Torrents of Shameless or The Killing. Well, not any more. You can set up one of Iomega’s new Home Media Network Hard Drive, Cloud Edition at work and use the office’s net connection to download Torrents at night. Then you stream them over the net to your home.

I’ve been testing one of the Home Media Drives for several weeks. There’s a been a few glitches, but on the whole, it works well. Now I’ve got my own little Amazon S3 system, with none of the monthly fees.

Yum iMac Coffee Table an Innovative Form of Computer Recycling

By

Yum iMac Coffee Table

Classic Mac collectors are a creative bunch. Where others see digital trash, we see potential. Steve Abbott, curator of MacAbbott’s Mac Museum in Charlotte NC, has just created an innovative coffee table using those five-flavored candy-colored original iMacs in the style of Apple’s iconic Yum advertisement.

Steve stripped the guts out of five systems – blueberry, grape, tangerine, lime, and strawberry – added opaque white paper and light fixtures inside, then fashioned a table around them with a glass top and birch base. Reminds me of the kids tables inside Apple retail stores, with the retro glow of high tech lifesavers. The Yum coffee table is one-of-a-kind and for sale, bids start at $5,000; contact MacAbbott for details.
