So you want to put your hands on that shiny new Magic Trackpad, but how are you supposed to use it? With batteries, of course. And which batteries? Apple’s ones, of course.
With a brand new Apple Battery Charger.
Introducing the Apple Battery Charger
Apple Launches New Mac Pro With Up to 12 Processing Cores

Check out the full press release below.
iPhone 2G Vs. 3G Vs. 3GS Vs. 4 - Speed Comparison [Video]
“Look how far we’ve come”, the folks over at AppAdvice say. And they’re right: this video perfectly shows how many things have indeed changed in these three years of iPhone, from the original one (the “2G”) to the latest iPhone 4.
Check out the video below. Try not to be nostalgic.
My Thoughts on the Cult of Mac Controversy
When I look at websites like TUAW, The Apple Blog, Macgasm, or a site such as ourselves that talks about the well being of the developer community, I expect all of us to be role models for others to follow and an avenue for developer success.
Which leads me to Cult of Mac. By now all of us are aware of Sayam Aggarwal’s brazen tutorial on how to install pirated software with the intent of, “Try before you buy.” It’s a shallow cause.

“Things Folders” Brings Things To Your Finder
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.
New Mac Pros, 27” Display Tomorrow? [Rumor] [Update!]
The Mac community’s own John Gruber predicts we’ll see an awesome update to the Cinema Display line with the unveiling of a new 27-inch, 16:9 Cinema Display, accompanied by new Mac Pros and possibly speedier iMacs tomorrow or at a later date. This all comes at the return of The Talk Show, so Gruber must be in an incredibly good mood to give us this tidbit of info to chew on. Hopefully he’s right!
Update: Now there’s the inclusion of the Magic Trackpad we’ve been hearing about.

Osfoora Goes 1.5 on iPhone: Retina Graphics, Bug Fixes - iPhone OS 3.1.x Users, Don’t Update
Another interesting update just showed up on iTunes: Osfoora, for Twitter (the iPhone version) has been updated to the 1.5 version, which introduces support for the Retina Display, a better geo-tagging and lots of bug fixes.
We previously reviewed Osfoora for iPhone here (but it’s got a lot better since then) and Osfoora HD for iPad here. I’m currently using Osfoora on my iPad but Twitterrific on the iPhone. Could this new update make me switch again? We’ll see.
Osfoora, for Twitter is available at $2.99 in the App Store.
UPDATE: Roger Byrne (@imrogb) reports that if you’re still running iPhone OS 3.1.x (it seems like he’s running 3.1.2) Osfoora won’t work. A bug? Maybe. If you experience it, please report to @Osfoora.
