The secret to Apple’s Billions: Cheaping out on stock photos

An Eagle-eyed Redditor noticed a rather striking similarity between the lion found on the “box” of Apple’s upcoming OS X Lion operating system and his Super Poulain, which appears to be some sort of French chocolate breakfast powder, shilled by a ridiculously scary super horse puppet. We’ve already seen the tree in Apple’ iPhoto icon turn up before... Read More

Hot-selling Casey Anthony Trial apps confirm that everyone sucks

I don’t know where you fall on the whole “mom’s (allegedly) killing their own kids debate, but I would hope you would find people trying to profit from it somewhat distasteful.

Al Gore is going to fix FCP X

Don’t worry everyone, Al Gore is on the case. At least assuming this post by John Davidson on the Creative Cow Forums is legit. “I’m at Promax in NYC and got to meet and greet with keynote speaker Al Gore just a few minutes ago.

As a testament to how unpopular the new Final Cut Pro X is with professional editors, Conan O’Brien dedicated a full 2 minutes of his show to ripping the new piece of software, despite the fact that 99.999% of his audience had probably never even heard of Final Cut Pro.

Angry Birds, domino style

In fact, his amazing clips inspired my son to make his own awesome domino videos when he was 3 (and by awesome, I mean adorably horrible), and I invite you to check them out here and here). But I’m not here simply to bore you with home movies, rather, to point out... Read More

A cool trick if you have cycles to waste

Cruising around Reddit today I picked up a cool and of course, USELESS trick that I assume you will want to try for a day and then put back to normal, just like I did. Check out what you can do with the Activity Monitor’s icon. I would assume showing your CPU’s usage in the dock uses up more processing power than it’s worth, but still, it’s a sweet little... Read More

Review: Otterbox iPhone 4 Reflex Case

Ahhh iPhone Cases – the $40 accessory you never factor into the cost of owning an iPhone. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, the fact is you need ‘em, so you might as well get a good one. Otterbox has a well deserved reputation for providing best-in-class (somewhat bulky) protection against falls and spills, and their Reflex case for the iPhone 4 is another nice addition... Read More
