First Screenshots of AutoCAD for Mac

Back in April we reported that AutoCAD was probably coming soon to the Mac, considering all the OS X references that were spotted in the SDK. Today we’ve received the first screenshots of an actual beta, running at 64-bit on Mac OS X.

The app is names “Sledgehammer Beta 1”, doesn’t seem very polished yet (it’s coming from Windows) but at least there’s already support for Magic Mouse gestures. Check out the screenshots after the break.

New Images Of Next Gen iPhone Parts Surface

iPhone repair site uBreakiFix has posted some images of parts of the alleged next iPhone, which - again - show us the black and white front panels. Quite interesting, you can see that there’s a physical feature right above the earpiece, and the website claims that it’s the proximity sensor. We find it quite hard to believe, considering that Apple has always hidden sensor under the glass to make them invisible to the users.

Check out the images after the break.

Write Your Own Apple Lawsuit

We’ve slowly gotten used to see a company suing Apple every day, and - honestly - that’s quite ridiculous. If you’ve ever wanted to jump on the lawsuit boat too, I’m excited to tell you that now there’s a template for that.

Apple Launches “Why You’ll Love a Mac” Campaign

Remember the great Get a Mac ads? It’s official now that we won’t see them anymore, at least not in the near future.

Apple has just updated its website redirecting all the previous Get a Mac links to a new page called “Why You’ll Love a Mac”, which highlights 5 of the major features of Mac OS X: Better Hardware, Better Software, Better OS, Better Support,It’s Compatible.

Very nice and informative. Check out the page over at Apple.com and take a look at a few screenshots after the break.

Phoenix Wright for iPhone Available Next Week

TouchArcade is reporting that Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney will be available next week for $4.99 in the App Store. Phoenix Wright is a very popular console game from Capcom which went very well on the Nintendo DS before and, in fact, the iPhone version doesn’t seem to be anything more than a simple porting of that one.

For those of you not familiar with the concept:

“Phoenix Wright games are a strange mixture of a visual adventure game that play a lot like mixture of a hidden object game and a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book. The game is segmented in to two portions, the investigation and the trial. While investigating, you visit various location and gather evidence by looking around and interviewing anyone who is around. When you’re finished with that, you go to court where you cross examine witnesses, present evidence, and object to the arguments presented by the prosecuting lawyer.”

Check out the first screenshots after the break.

White iPhone HD Rendered

A couple days ago we saw that Apple may decide to make the white iPhone’s faceplate white. While some disagree with the move, I think it’s spectacular. In fact, incredibly classy. At least, I came to my conclusion once I saw some renders that everythingicafe came across from iSpazio.
