I have Terminology for iPad sitting on my homescreen, and it’s been there for weeks now. Like Cody wrote in his review of the iPad version, Terminology is an app for the English language - one that makes it easy to lookup for words and get instant and accurate definitions. Now, there’s an iPhone version, too.

Why Jailbreak Makes The iPhone 4 A Better Device: My Setup
Two months ago I wrote that jailbreak on iOS 4 still had its importance, but when JailbreakMe came out earlier this month I was very disappointed that the iPhone 4 wasn’t really supported. Sure, I could jailbreak my iPhone and install Cydia - but what for? Tweaks and apps weren’t updated for the Retina Display and new device, there was the possbility to break FaceTime and MMS and, overall, it seemed like JailbreakMe for the iPhone 4 was released just for the sake of it.
Fast forward 20 days, and I can’t imagine having a un-jailbroken iPhone 4 anymore. What happened?
MacPilot 4, A Seriously Powerful Mac Utility
Koingo has been great to me as a software company. One of my favorite Mac utilities from them, AirRadar, is an essential tool I use when setting up wireless networks. ImageSmith, another often used product, is great for batch resizing photos to be shared online. One of their latest products, MacPilot 4, is absolutely mind boggling. Anything you’ve wanted to tweak on your Mac, uncover, or otherwise harness control of can now done through this single, feature rich utility.
Apple’s Refinements, Changes and Improvements to iPad UI
The iPad is set to be available in 5 days, but I bet you guys have been watching the latest guided video tours on Apple.com for the entire afternoon. Someone at least 5 times, I guess.
What’s interesting, though, is that the quality of these videos is so high that they provide us an easy way to look at the interface of the device and spot little differences and elements from the screenshots we’ve been provided so far. Actually, I’ve spent some time today analyzing the videos (yeah, I’m one of those nerds) and I’ve noticed some interesting touches Apple has applied to the UI.
DestroyTwitter, unMac your Client
When people think of Twitter clients on the Mac, we immediately associate with clients wrapped in the fuzzy warm blanket of Cocoa. Sometimes these clients appear as HUDs that nestle in the menubar. Professionals might turn to the popular Adobe Air client Tweetdeck to keep track of trends and various search terms. Many of us would be lifeless without Tweetie, but before we finally sink our teeth into the latest MacHeist offering, I’m going to DestroyTwitter.
Postbox Gets a Huge Update for Mac OS X
- Spotlight integration;
- Address Book support;
- iCal;
- Drag to dock;
- Safari to Postbox links;
- iPhoto integration;
- Dictionary Lookup
Still based on Mozilla’s engine though. An important update anyway, you might want to give it another spin. I did.
ActionMenu Extends Your iPhone Copy & Paste Menu
Before OS 3.0 we were unable to copy & paste stuff on our iPhones: sure, there were apps such as Clippy available in Cydia which allowed us to use some sort of copy and paste features, but it wasn’t polished, refined and stable like the solution Apple came out with. And it seems like after the release of iPhone OS 3.0 people stopped asking about new stuff, everyone seems to be satisfied now. Fortunately, there are many people who noticed that the “action menu” (the one you activate everytime you copy / paste / select some text) could be improved a lot.
Fortunately, there’s a guy like Ryan Petrich who developed an amazing tweak called Action Menu.
