There are lots of mindless games on the iPhone, and we feel it’s time to stimulate your brain for a bit. In the vain of locomotive puzzlers and other pipe-works derivatives that have you connecting various pieces of track to reach the end of a tunnel, Aqueduct combines thoughtful, maze like elements and environmental manipulation into one neat package.
Aqueduct for iPhone is a Stimulating Waterworks Puzzler
The Most Impressive Brushes Speed Painting Video You’ve Ever Seen
The following video was streamed live worldwide from Brooklyn on Monday, June 21 2010. It features finger painting with the Brushes iPad app by artist David Jon Kassan, and the original session was approximately 3 hours long. The speed painting video is just 8 minutes.
Really, you haven’t seen anything like this. This is the finest example of how Apple’s tablet is indeed meant for content production, not only consumption.
Impressive, indeed.
iMovie Running on iPhone 3GS
The guys over at Redmond Pie have managed to modify the iMovie application file and install it on an iPhone 3GS. As you can see from the video after the break, it works just fine, despite Apple selling it as iPhone 4 exclusive for its high RAM requirements.
I assume that to do this you’ll have to edit the .ipa file of the app and enter a few strings to add 3GS support, then move the app into your device via SSH or iTunes. Redmond Pie removed the step-by-step guide due to Apple DRM violation, so I can’t tell. If you installed iMovie on your 3GS too, please let us know.
Synergy Coming to iOS - With BTstack
Synergy is a well known open-source project that allows you to share a single mouse and keyboard across multiple computers, each with its own screen and hardware. You just move the mouse around and switch keyboard from device to device. I think it best represents Ive’s and Jobs’ definition of “magical”, actually.
µTorrent 1.0 Stable for Mac Available
You’ve come such a long way, µTorrent. I remember when I used to launch you on Windows, back in my other life when I was a PC user. Then I moved to a Mac, and started using the much-acclaimed Transmission, a fantastic client which has recently been updated to 2.0, with tons of new features and optimizations.
But like I said, you’ve come such a long way, kid.
Apple’s New Press Release Footer
Today’s press release carried the news Apple sold 1.7 million iPhone 4 units in just three days. Impressive. But together with that, and for the real geeks among you, a change in the press release “standard” footer, too.
Tourist for iPhone Helps you Travel Overseas
You’re going overseas right? Using your iPhone internationally may incur some serious charges if you’re not careful, and how do you trust connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot all willy nilly? Deciding to go off the grid, you’re still gonna need some excellent resources on hand to get you through Paris, and the first place you look is Wikitravel. But you’re not surfing the interwebs for this valuable data – it’s already stored offline. On your phone. How you might ask? Tourist for the iPhone.
Still Having Trouble Installing iOS 4? Restore.
Apple released iOS 4 last week but there’s still a considerable amount of iPhone and iPod Touch users who haven’t been able to install it on their devices. They keep getting timeout sessions, iTunes errors and backups taking hours and hours just to never complete.
Google Docs with Viewer for Mobile Devices

Switch quickly between pages, zoom in and out, and view your documents in the cloud without the need to download.
