In case you missed our previous coverage, Fotopedia Heritage is a beautiful app for iPhone and iPad that aims at becoming “an encyclopedia for humanity” based on stunning photographs from around the world.

Described as an endless photo journey, I imagine fans of Discovery’s Planet Earth would really enjoy sinking their teeth into this app. There’s a great wealth of information that can be uncovered with each photograph, making us aware of scenic, historic, and cultural locations.
So here’s the thing: I bought some music apps for iPhone, thinking that maybe I could accomplish something good. I mean, have you seen what Atomic Tom came up with? Or all those other iPerformers on Youtube? And DJ Rana June? I suck at music apps, plain and simple. Yet I keep buying them hoping that maybe someday the musician in me will find his way out to be great with a touch screen. Whatever.
Reggie Watts, famous stand-up comedian /musician / life genius, proved once again that if you want to do something great with a music app, you need to have what it takes. While he was interviewed on Sirius XM radio, he told the host and the people in the studio he forgot his stuff and he pulled out his iPhone. He fired up Everyday Looper and started improvising.
The result of what happened is embedded below. Damn, I suck at music apps. [TUAW via CrunchGear] Read more
From the same guys who created the hilarious iPhone 4 and iPad “banned” promo videos and the even better Antenna promo video, here’s the white iPhone 4 version.
Because if you waited for the white iPhone 4, you’re an idiot. A stupid human being who has waited 5 months for a phone that’s a different color. Or so they say.
Check out the video below. Then go search for some replacement cover on eBay, if you really want the white thing. Read more

I’ve always wanted such an option, and it would fit with the latest trend of monochromatic icons. The new Airs don’t come with black bezels, though.
I bought an iMac about a month ago. It’s a great machine, it’s sexy and it’s powerful. Still, when I’m working on it I do miss one thing: they keyboard and trackpad configuration of the MacBook Pro. Having a full-size keyboard above the trackpad is undoubtedly more comfortable than having to constantly switch from the keyboard to a Magic Trackpad on its side. Placing the Magic Trackpad under the keyboard doesn’t help either as it’ll end up moving and sliding on your desk.
So what we have here is possibly the coolest gadget we’ve covered on MacStories in a while: the BulletTrain Express Keyboard is a solid aluminum platform that can embed a Magic Trackpad and an Apple keyboard, all in one single and ergonomic surface. Read more
And Stephen Hackett’s reply, who worked as Lead Mac Genius at Memphis’ Apple Store:
Computers break. Like it or not, buying AppleCare would be a wise move.
The Polar Clock one is a thing of beauty. Check out Steve’s bundle here.
They say one of the biggest advantages of jailbreaking your iPhone ( or iPad) is that you gain root access to the device. By root access they usually mean that the filesystem becomes visible to the end user, thus allowing people to play around with the device’s system files and modify stuff. From graphical modifications to file browsers available in Cydia to extra functionalities granted by access to hidden folders, root access is one of the most important aspects of jailbreak.
But it turns out, jailbreak isn’t required to access the iPhone’s internal files in the way most people would need: Phone Disk, a Mac (and Windows) app gone free until December 1st, lets you mount and browse your iDevice directly in the Finder without the need to jailbreak anything. Read more
The iPhone 4 has got a great camera, but this app is about checking on images captured by other cameras around the globe. If you’ve ever wished to have access to more than 14,000 webcams from your pocket, WorldView+ might be just the app for you. With a nice icon and a redesigned UI by Marcelo Marfil, this app combines the functionality of checking on live webcams with additional data pulled from Wikipedia, weather stations and Google Maps.
