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. That being said, apparently quite a few of you DON’T, as the app Casey Anthony Trial with LIVE STREAM, News, Videos, Audio, Documents and more 99¢ by Scott Manthey (who apparently... Read More
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. Working up all my courage, I decided to sandbag him with complaints about Final Cut Pro X. Here’s how it went down. Don’t... Read More
Conan posts an awesome video only 100 people understood
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. This video is also a testament to how once your late night show moves to basic cable, you can pretty much... Read More
Angry Birds, domino style
When it comes the the YouTube Domino video world, Flippycat is a legend (yes, there IS a YouTube Domino world). 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...

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
WearaBraille virtual wireless Braille keyboard demoed with an iPhone and VoiceOver
As a sighted person, I find it truly inspiring when I see a blind person get through their day, seemingly easier than I do. For me, the thought of taking the bus into the city with perfect eyesight is hard enough to comprehend, let alone without the use of my eyes. Truly, the human brain has shown an amazing capacity to adapt, as well as to innovate. Case in point, the WearaBraille... Read More
Apple brings back the Click Wheel with its new Cupertino Campus proposal
Everyone’s saying Apple’s new proposed office campus looks like a spaceship, and I won’t argue, but I must say that from the air (especially If that damn apartment building on the left had let Apple buy them) I’m pretty sure Apple’s new corporate park would look more or less like an iPod classic. The video below is footage of Steve Jobs showing off... Read More
Mmmmm… 25 years of shiny balls
I remember back in the early days of 3D on the Mac – fumbling through True Space and Electric Image – and being happy when I made a shiny sphere. Nice to see the shiny sphere is still kicking ass. Check out this sweet video made by Maxon celebrating 25 years of their Cnema 4D software being on the Mac platform. via @markgurman Read More
