Are you just that desperate to get Flash on your iPhone? You may have stumbled across Cloud Browse, a utility that allows you to access the Internet through a remote computer. To me, that raises lots of red flags. Basically Cloud Browse creates a connection between you and a Firefox browser sitting on some computer in the middle of wonder-land. I don’t know about you, but I’m not going to login into my accounts on somebody else’s computers. Plus, it doesn’t even work that great. Talk about something that shouldn’t be allowed in the App Store.
Cloud Browse May Bring Flash, But I’d Stay Far Away
“iTunes Live” - Now Trademarked
First it was iPhone icons. The we had the “made for” iPod, iPhone, and iPad insignias. Now, Apple has filed a trademark for “iTunes Live.” If you’ve been a fan of the “iTunes Sessions” and “Live from SoHo,” expect (or not necessarily) to see more concerts at big Apple retail store locations.

Steve Jobs on the iPad Price in Germany: “Blame your government”
If you live in Germany or followed the news yesterday, you may have noticed that the iPad in Germany comes at €15 more than Italy and France, where it’s priced at €499 for the 16GB Wifi model. If you want to purchase the same iPad in Germany, you’ll have to pay €514.
Why? Because of a new tax Germany has put on computers. But what’s interesting is that Steve Jobs has a response for that. German website Fscklog reports on an email from Steve to a German Apple fan who emailed el Jobso asking about this price thing. His response?
“Blame your government.
Germany just added a new copyright levy for computers.”
So yeah, blame your government. But don’t ask Steve, he’s kinda busy making some Gianduia now.
The Forklift 2.0 Public Beta Review
Servers are kind of like warehouses. It’s where you temporarily store product for later use. Simple concept right? With our warehouse metaphor intact, we have two products in the Mac world that want your undivided attention. First we have Transmit 4, an incredibly sexy can-do-it-all FTP client by Panic which in everyone’s eyes, is the current pinnacle of perfection. Depicted by a storage truck, Transmit promises to deliver your data.
But when a truck backs into the warehouse, its work is done. For it is the forklift that loads and unloads the truck’s contents. Forklift, currently in it’s first public beta as version 2.0, makes a strong statement. BinaryNights promises that no matter how strong the competition, they’ll always have the fastest speeds. So does that hold true? And how do Forklift’s features compare to Transmit’s? And ultimately, will this little workhorse outdo the truck that has captured the Mac world? Hold on to your trucker caps people - this is going to be fun.
