Does this case reveal the next generation iPod touch?

by Kirk Hiner on Jul 3, 2009 at 07:30 AM

No. It doesn’t. Not in my opinion, anyway. We received a tip with a link to uxsight.com, an online retailer that is marketing a silicone skin for, apparently, the iPod touch 3G. The case is on backorder, of course. The big difference between this and other cases? A hole at the top back that our tipster feels could indicate the inclusion of a camera.

Macintosh/iPhone software update roundup - July 1, 2009

by Kirk Hiner on Jul 1, 2009 at 07:04 PM

Nisus Writer Pro has been updated. That should be enough for Mac users, but we’ve also got some iWeb and RapidWeaver themes to tell you about. If you’d rather just sit around and watch TV all day, why not try renting Welcome to Macintosh on Comcast Pay Per View? The iPhone sees announcements from Brainjuice, Last Legion Games, Nickelodeon and more.

by Kirk Hiner on Jul 1, 2009 at 01:45 PM

It’s the 4th of July again, that time of year when the British celebrate losing control of us bothersome Americans, and we celebrate paying taxes to our own government, thank you very much.

App it Up: Stuck Genie

by Kirk Hiner on Jul 1, 2009 at 08:09 AM

Stuck Genie is a unique puzzler that kind of combines those labyrinth marble games with Tetris, without really being anything like either. It will not be a top app for the majority of iPhone gamers. Rather, it’ll likely become one of those games you play infrequently, but that you never delete from your iDevice because it’s always good for a quick gaming session.

Macintosh/iPhone software update roundup - June 29-30, 2009

by Kirk Hiner on Jun 30, 2009 at 06:07 PM

Two days of updates bundled into one, so there’s something in here for everyone. Don’t believe me? How about Internet security, eh? Is that for you? Maybe making cash with your Macintosh? Or, perhaps you’re only interested in the iPhone. Okay, need a case for that iPhone? Want to hear an Ocarina concert? Maybe experience some Pipe Mania? Yeah, see, I thought so.

Steve Jobs back at work

by Kirk Hiner on Jun 30, 2009 at 08:33 AM

In a rambling, largely off-topic article, The LA Times reported this morning that Apple, Inc. co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs is spending a few days a week back in his office, according to Apple spokesman Steve Dowling. “He’s currently at work a few days a week and working from home the remaining days,” Dowling said.

Macintosh/iPhone software update roundup - June 26, 2009

by Kirk Hiner on Jun 26, 2009 at 06:58 PM

After a huge update yesterday, we’ve got little to cover tonight. That doesn’t mean there isn’t some good news inside, though. Coladia has released a new adventure game for Mac OS X, and two iPhone developers have announced temporary price cuts on their games. And you can now use the iPhone to perform magic tricks just like David Blaine! The first trick…find the URL, because they didn’t give one to me.

by Kirk Hiner on Jun 25, 2009 at 10:08 PM

Well, we miss a day, and look what happens. Bombarded with Mac updates. There’s so much Mac software on display in here that it’d make the fellows at CompUSA blush if they weren’t mostly out of business. Come on in and check it out…there’s something here for everyone. Even people who want to track just how often their baby soils himself. Yes, there’s an app for that, too.

App it Up: Wild West Pinball

by Kirk Hiner on Jun 24, 2009 at 09:10 AM

Although you’ve got a few pinball options on the iPhone, few currently look as good or play as well as Wild West Pinball. The board may be a bit empty of features and goals, and the lack of continuous audio makes it sound as if something’s broken internally, but this is still a solid pinball experience on the iPhone. Plus, it’s now free.
