This is a post aimed to all of you Mac customization nerds. That said, you should probably know Vitae, one of the best custom OS X themes available for Tiger and Leopard.
Now, since Snow Leopard hit the shelves back in August, many users started to request a porting of Vitae to Snow Leopard. Due to some changes Apple applied in the core structure of 10.6, the conversion process took a little longer, but I’m very excited to confirm that Vitae theme is finally available for download.
Flickr, that awesome “social network” for sharing photographs, is probably one of the best resources for finding inspirational photos, screenshots, whatever a camera / computer can take. Now, Flickr is no doubt one of the best resources for bloggers to find photos to use in their posts: just as Wikipedia says “the service is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository”.
As you may have understood reading MacStories, whenever an application that uses the APIs of a webapp is released, I go download it to write a review about it. So, what about an application that brings Flickr “discovery” experience to our Mac desktop?
Meet Viewfinder.
“ZodTDD, the developer behind GpSPhone (a Nintendo Gameboy Advance emulator for the iPhone and iPod Touch), announced the development of an N64 emulator for the iPhone and iPod touch. Zodttd believes that the current generation iPhone and iPod touch have the graphic CPU horsepower necessary to run those games. “…I can’t promise it will run games top notch just yet, as things are too early to say. There’s hope though, with a 3D accelerated graphics plugin, as well as an ARM dynarec.”
Now, I’m quite skeptical about it. I was a beta tester of the PSP emulator years ago (when I was following the PSP homebrew scene, God blesses Pspupdates) and it never worked, let’s face it. Could an iPhone emulator do better?
I doubt it.

Cruz, the “social browser” developed by Todd Ditchendorf has been recently updated to version 0.3: the update added Snow Leopard compatibility and other bug fixes. See the complete changelog here.
Anyway, the developer sent a tweet this morning where he mentioned a Twitter plugin for Cruz, still in beta. After a quick test, I found it very interesting and useful.
See the screenshots after the jump.
Blogging apps for iPhone suck.
Let’s face it: iBlogger is ugly and cluttered and the official WordPress app (which has recently been updated to 2.0) is slow, buggy and way too simple. How could this be even possible? I mean there are 100.000 apps out in the App Store and we don’t have a “Tweetie” for bloggers. You know, the champion who beats all and sits on the throne.
Well, the problem is that developing a blogging app is hard (yes, way too harder than developing a Twitter client) and needs a terrific support from the developer: we’re talking about an application which lets you blog from your iPhone and you know, people want stable and up-to-date apps. If WordPress didn’t make a decent app, how could a single developer make it?
Now, Squarespace (that awesome less known platform Web AppStorm reviewed here) has just released its official iPhone app and - guess what - it’s amazing.
Here are the names of the winners of the Hydrvibe album giveaway.

“You can now put more than 176 apps in the organizer, and those will move on to grayed-out homescreens. You can still access them on the iPhone by using Spotlight, but those grayed-out homescreens only serve as a buffer to hold your overflow apps while you’re organizing them. Doesn’t really help the actual experience of sorting apps, but it should give you some breathing space when dealing with lots and lots of apps.”
Now Apple, please let us move multiple apps on the Springboard.
