A game, a touch and a guide for the Mac, and everything else is iPhone tonight. Gravity Sling, Checkers, Ground Effect, 365 Puzzle Club, and The World’s Hardest Game highlight the fun side, while computer game legend Al Lowe highlights the funny side. You can also learn stuff and check out some sexy refs…which in my book means a ref actually calling a fair game for the Seahawks.
Appletell reviews the BookArc Desktop Stand for MacBooks
I like the BookArc; let’s start with that. This device from Twelve South is a simple but solid heavy gauge steel arc in which your MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air can rest in its closed position. Why would you need that? You wouldn’t be asking if you use an external monitor and keyboard with your MacBook. Small is good when you’re considering portability. But when doing work at your desk, it’s better for your eyes and your posture to hook your laptop up to a larger monitor.
Macintosh/iPhone software update roundup - November 5, 2009
Scan your comics and scan your receipts on the Mac. You can scan other things too, but there’s nothing else here to help you with that. On the iPhone, you’ve got audio short stories, balloons to send floating around the world, a Mysterious Island to explore, a Bible study to plan, opera librettos to read, and plenty more. If that’s not enough for you, well, then you can just stick it! 2.1
Appletell reviews Scholastic vocabulary apps for iPhone, iPod touch
There’s no shortage of iPhone apps available to keep kids occupied while you wait for your bloomin’ onion to be served. There’s also no shortage of apps available to explain why you shouldn’t be eating a bloomin’ onion. In this review, though, we’ll focus on the kids, and take a look at a couple of Scholastic apps that can teach them a few things while they’re entertained: WordGirl Word Hunt and Clifford’s BE BIG with Words.
How Apple got to 100,000 apps, and why it won’t stop
You have a map for that, Verizon? Okay, well I see your map, and raise you an app. 100,000 apps, actually. Apple has announced that developers have created over 100,000 apps for the App Store (only a couple hundred of which have anything to do with farting). This is a number Apple’s competitors just won’t be able to reach, and I’m not even sure they understand why it’s important to try.
Macintosh/iPhone software update roundup - November 4, 2009
Already with the Christmas apps? Well, why not. Be creative enough, and even iStopMotion and MacTuneUp could be holiday gifts, I suppose. Pretty much everything on the iPhone could, such as Minima, The Right Bite (it’ll help you lose all that holiday treat weight), Cobra, DJ Nights, and more. iMEvil, Dead Panic: Survival, and that one from the Penthouse photographer? Probably not good Christmas gifts, those.

A lot of good Mac updates today for both productivity and system management. Record audio, make cartoons, browse your media, track your references, and more.

Macintosh/iPhone software update roundup - November 2, 2009
Today’s Mac updates involves geometry. Don’t be afraid, though, it’s here to make life easier, not harder. So is Custom Headers by M, RemObjects SDK, ReaddleDocs, RemoteSite, TypeBook Creator, and more. iPhone updates involve Hyakkiyagyo, which alone should be enough to get you to click inside, but there’s also Roto, C@rds Master, Easy Stitch, Speed Bag: Urban Gym, Pong Double, and a buyer’s guide.
