Smart Autocomplete for Your Whole Mac
UPDATE: And…it’s back up. That was fast.
What’s going on with the iPad 3G + Wifi 64GB model in Canada? We’ve just noticed that the mode has been removed from the Store. The picture of the unit is simply not there anymore, as you can see in the screenshot after the break.
I thought this had already been settled? Our friends over at TUAW have already talked stands to death. Again. And Again. And this floated around when the iPad came out. But John Gruber (whom I dearly admire) is just getting on the band wagon, and now everyone is gawking about cheap iPad stands galore. Of course we don’t want to feel left out, but we’re not for cheap or practical things. After all, a plastic stand doesn’t deserve to seat the magical aluminum and glass iPad. No ladies and gents, it needs a seat made promptly for a king.
Currently, multitasking on the iPhone is a bit of a shamble, and many productivity killers will still remain even as iPhone OS 4 rolls out onto devices. The biggest problem is making apps work with each other; developers often integrate services like Text Expander or Instapaper, but you may not necessarily have those apps on your phone. Chris Clark calls them ‘convenience features,’ and he suggests that the iPhone OS should adopt services to absolve this problem.
9to5mac suggests that Apple is getting ready to introduce a free version of MobileMe. As a proof to that, the MobileMe preference panel for Mac OS X now shows “Full Member” for previous customers who paid for the service.
Considering that the WWDC is in 4 days, we won’t have to wait much longer to find out the truth.

Available for free on Take Control Books, great resource by Tonya Engst for everyone who’s getting started to the iPad. If you’re new to iPhone OS / iPa platform, look no further than this eBook to learn the basics.
What’s the future of user interfaces like? In a matter of 20 years, it will all be about gestural interfaces applied to the real world. Something like Minority Report, basically. And we’ve seen Apple exploring this concept before, with patents surfacing here and there showing how the engineers at Cupertino are indeed considering gesture-based UIs to manipulate objects in a 3D space.
For those of you who don’t know what eBoy is, welcome on board. I didn’t know anything about eBoy either until a couple of months ago, when I stumbled upon a post on Engadget and fell in love with the works of this phenomenal pixel art group, founded in 1997. Just take a look at their famous London poster to get the hang of it.
So, the eBoy guys decided to develop an iPhone game and the app is now finally available in the App Store at $1.99. The game is very simple and addictive, as all you have to do is tilt your iPhone to “fix” the alignment of pictures on screen. It’s fun and it’s gorgeous to look at.
Check out the gameplay video after the break.

Can’t get enough of the next iPhone? There’s a mockup for that.
I want one. I don’t know what I could ever print, but please give me one.
