Last night Twitter opened up the API for real-time user streams. The first apps to come with this much-requested feature are Tweetdeck and Echofon for Mac, but only if you’re a registered user (Echofon) or have been invited (Tweetdeck).
I have my doubts about this new feature, but I don’t want to judge yet. In the meantime, take a look at the videos showing real-time Twitter on these two apps, courtesy of The Next Web.
Once you’ve rebooted your Mac into a state of 5.0.1 bliss, you’ve probably navigated to extensions.safari.com to download some of the hottest upgrades available for your speedy browser. Simple one click installs can immediately enhance your online experience, but for those unwilling to download every extension known to Apple, we’ve got a few recommendations.
Don’t forget! Apple’s official gallery is quite small at the moment, so you may want to browse through the official unofficial list at http://safariextensions.tumblr.com/.
New Macs need new software. If you’re familiar with the app Bodega, you can save some serious cash through a sweet deal. Mac App Deals reveals that if you purchase 1Password, Sandvox, Cockpit, MoneyWell, Clean my Mac, Brush Pilot, Mac DVDRipper Pro, or My Living Desktop, you’ll get half of your purchase through Bodega’s storefront.
1Password and Brush Pilot would be the “must haves” on my list.

Yesterday Apple launched new iMacs, a new Mac Pro, a new Cinema Display and…a Battery Charger. Yes, it was a great day. And yes, many “pro” users still don’t know whether they should out their works in the hands of a Mac Pro beast or just go with an iMac by choosing the highest configuration. I mean, those are powerful machines, right?
Let Marco Arment tell you what you should do.
Courtesy of 9to5mac, a video with some first impressions of the new “magical” device from Apple. It looks good. But it’ll look even better next to my new iMac in a few weeks.
Together with the new iMac and Magic Trackpad, a new Mac Pro. With up to 12 cores, SSD options, better graphics - it’s the “fastest Mac ever”.
Check out the press release below.
We were expecting this yesterday, and we got the “confirmation” this morning when store.apple.com went down: Apple was about to introduce something new.
Now, it’s official. New iMacs with Magic Trackpad.
Check out the full press release below.
If you’re a Things user on Mac OS X, I bet that you always wanted to be able to quickly link its database to your Finder. Not just clippings - which work great - but entire standard folders linked inside Things.app. Designers, developers, users that have to deal with a large amount of files on a daily basis could really use such a feature.
Well folks, that’s exactly what a 3rd party application called Things Folders does.
Here’s one of those rumors you wake up in the morning with and can’t stop thinking about for the whole day. It’s a rumor, so be careful with the excitement.
Mac4ever reports that iLife ‘11 will be released on August 7th with a huge set of new features including a “mistery new application”, full 64-bit support and MobileMe integration.
- ILife ‘11 will be sold for $79
- Release Date of 08/07/2010
- All applications will be 64-bit
- Improvements in iPhoto faces & places
- Improving the integration of social networks
- IWeb will be totally renewed
- New application (mystery!)
- Disappearance of iDVD
- MobileMe gallery in beta (with faces & places)
Should we believe that? Sure some options sound very likely. As MacRumors also points out, the latest version of iLife (‘09) was announced at Macworld SF 2009. So, I guess it’s time for a brand new shiny version.
