Our new podcast: Meet...
We know. Podcasts are so last year - but this one you won't want to miss. Whether it’s a rumor that won’t die, a new product announcement, or just a really good Macintosh or iPhone app find that we have to let you know about, we’ll make sure it’s covered on Appletellcast.
iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.
iPhone Game Reviews
As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
On Friday, February 6th, MacHeist 3 kicked off to the excitement of tons of geeks around the internet. What is MacHeist, you ask? A creative, brain-teasing, fun way to get free and steeply discounted Mac software! What more could you ask for?
This MacHeist was kicked off with a mini-mission of sorts: the goal was to decode clues and find nine different images scattered across the web. When entered into the MacHeist “mainframe,” they pieced together into one big image which took thirty days to decode. Upon completion of this mini-Heist, users recieved Pandora’s Pests, Process, and MacDust for free. The thirty day period was up on Friday, when a brand new MacHeist 3 site was revealed along with a briefing.
All MacHeist missions begin with a briefing. In this case, we were shown a video of Agent Sophia explaining to us how the decoded image had been used. Below the video was our clue: a picture of a lockbox and a key. I won’t spoil the heist for you, but I will say this was a short one in comparision to many (hence the title, nano-mission) and it included a slide puzzle and a “Traffic Jam”-like puzzle. At the end of the mission, you are rewarded with ShoveBox, KavaTunes, and a Stationery Pack, worth $68 in total.
MacHeist culminates after a few heists with a bundle of apps for sale at heavily discounted prices, usually around $50 for a bundle valued at hundreds of dollars. If you want to get in on the fun, join for free at MacHeist.com and start exercising your brain muscles.
