So, we’re almost there but the rumors and leaks don’t seem to stop. While I was searching Youtube for the latest scoop I stumbled upon this video, which shows the “iPad” coming out from apple.com/ca search results. Also, the result say “Now available in 10, 13 and 15-inch models, meet our most advanced mobile desktop.”
Fake or not, it’s well done. We’ll know the truth in hours. And remember, you can follow the event’s updates on my Twitter stream and - maybe - on a live chat here on MacStories. I’ll keep you posted about it.
“Apple reported its financial results for Q1 2010 which ended December 26, 2009 and the results were nothing short of impressive. Apple posted its all time highest quarterly revenue, its all time highest quarterly profit and when annualized, these numbers will push Apple into a $50+ billion per year company. Dollar figures that are impressive they don’t require an explanation, so we will let the numbers speak for themselves:
-Revenue of $15.68 billion ($11.88 billion in Q1 2009);
-58% of revenue derived from international sales;
-Net quarterly profit of $3.38 billion or $3.67 per diluted share ($2.26 billion, or $2.50 per diluted share in Q1 2009);
-Gross margin of 40.9 percent (37.9 % in Q1 2009);
-$5.8 billion generated in cash;”
Now, I’d rather believe those who say Apple can sell 8 millions Tablets during 2010.
Another VideoStories post, another awesome review by Cody. In his quest for the perfect windows management app, today Cody takes a look at SizeUp, a cool app by Irradiated Software which lets you move and resize windows with just your keyboard.
Some weeks ago I reviewed Cinch, another app from the Irradiated guys, which brings the Windows 7’s Aero Snap feature to Mac OS X. SizeUp seems to be more geeky and a little bit more difficult to set up, but I’m sure many of you are gonna love this.
And remember: for every Mac, there’s a story.

Tips are a pain to calculate. It’s time consuming to pop out your calculator and hammer away if you aren’t math-savvy, and it’s just annoying when you can do it in your head. Tipulator aims to both be functional for those who need a tip calculator, yet fashionable for those who just want to have fun with one.
I knew there was something going on around Mail.app and a secret project an “all-star team” was discussing, but Ars Technica has just made the thing real. Seems that people like Brent Simmons, Gus Meuller, Cabel Sasser and John Gruber are indeed working on Letters, the app that probably will replace Mail.app as our default email client.
The story is very long actually, so I suggest you to read the whole post over at Ars, and this could be a real revolution. A team of Mac OS X third party developers and bloggers that team up to create the perfect Mail application?
You just made stop thinking about the Tablet. And that’s definitely something.
I have a huge email library. I tend to keep every important message that I receive and move it to a folder or sub-folder. Indeed, despite all the people that seem to appreciate those applications that let you assign tags to mails in order to browse everything with tags, I still think the folder structure puts every other solution to shame. I just couldn’t think of any other way to store and organize messages right now, but maybe Apple will prove me wrong someday. Anyway, considering that I daily mess with dozens of messages and I’ve got to move each message to a different folder, I was looking for some app that would have made the process easier, faster and almost invisible. Many followers suggested me to try Mail Act-on, but after a brief test I have to say Act-On is aimed at people who have 40 + folders.
It’s surely a feature rich application with a lot of stuff you can play with, but I wanted something simpler, an app that could let me move messages in a few steps without leaving the keyboard.

So you use Twitter because you have a blog and you want to promote your articles. Or, you want to talk with your girlfiend while she’s working. These are only two examples of how people use Twitter, the first ones I can think of now. Pretty much everyone who uses Twitter on a daily basis knows everything about it, from retweets and replies to lists and DMs. But what about Favorites? On Twitter, you can mark a tweet as favorite, like you can do with photos on Flickr or Deviantart. I didn’t use this feature until a few months ago, when I realized I could start faving tweets rather than sending them to Read it Later. And yes, as soon as I started following @Digeratii and @PatrickPatience I had to start using favorites.
Besides the “saving links for later” thing, people use favorites to collect the best, most ironic and, sometimes, sarcastic tweets they find in their timelines. Just take a look at my favorites tweets to get the idea of the stuff I think it’s worth a “fave”. Now,it’s pretty obvious that by using only Twitter itself you don’t have a way of “discovering” favorite tweets around the world, and that’s why websites like Tweeteorites and Favstar came to life.
Today I’ll take a look at Tweeteorites, a web service that allows you to browse and saving tweets into your favorites, and its official iPhone application, which has been sitting in my homescreen for many weeks now.
Thanks everyone for the support and the comments! Also, I’d like to thank the Vemedio team for giving us these 2 licenses to give away.
