“With the latest versions of iTunes (9.0.2) and Apple TV software (3.0), you can now use iTunes LP on your Apple TV. We have updated the iTunes LP that was included with [your previous purchase here] so that it can now be viewed on Apple TV in addition to your Mac or PC….”
Still, I don’t get the point of Apple TV.
The new edition of MacHeist isn’t called MacHeist IV but “nanoBundle”. It features 6 Mac apps worth $154 available as a free download. The apps are:
Twitterrific
Writeroom
TinyGrab
Hordes of Orcs
Mariner Write (unlocked when the nanoBundle will reach 500,000 participants!)
Now, I don’t think anyone can really criticize this year’s MacHeist. When people is able to get paid stuff for free, nobody can criticize the apps (which for instance are very good in my opinion).
Years ago Gruber wrote a very interesting article which questioned the real value of MacHeist to software developers. Now, I believe that if a developer agrees to partecipate to MacHeist with an application, he actually knows the pro and cons of it.
Who are we to criticize their choices? Do the user really care about this? No.
Do we care about it just because we are bloggers? Yes.
I’m quite sure that every Web developer out there who owns a Mac knows / is using Coda.
What’s Coda, exactly? As Shawn Blanc wrote in his review back in January 2008:
“Coda is a text-editing, CSS-styling, WebKit previewing, file-managing, FTPing, terminal-accessing, web-site-building and publishing application for the Macintosh.”
Now, I’ve collected 120 of the best resources about Panic’s Coda: they include tutorials, clips, snippets, plugins and more.
Do you know other useful tools for Coda? Feel free to share them in the comments!
“Secrets provides easy assess to many of Mac Os X’s settings that you can otherwise only change by messing around in Terminal with long command strings, which is not everyone’s cup of tea.
It includes tweaks for many Mac core and a wide range of third-party apps. The most popular tweaks across all the apps are listed separately as well.”
A long-awaited update of a great prefpane every Mac geek should install.
This is a post aimed to all of you Mac customization nerds. That said, you should probably know Vitae, one of the best custom OS X themes available for Tiger and Leopard.
Now, since Snow Leopard hit the shelves back in August, many users started to request a porting of Vitae to Snow Leopard. Due to some changes Apple applied in the core structure of 10.6, the conversion process took a little longer, but I’m very excited to confirm that Vitae theme is finally available for download.
Flickr, that awesome “social network” for sharing photographs, is probably one of the best resources for finding inspirational photos, screenshots, whatever a camera / computer can take. Now, Flickr is no doubt one of the best resources for bloggers to find photos to use in their posts: just as Wikipedia says “the service is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository”.
As you may have understood reading MacStories, whenever an application that uses the APIs of a webapp is released, I go download it to write a review about it. So, what about an application that brings Flickr “discovery” experience to our Mac desktop?
Meet Viewfinder.
“ZodTDD, the developer behind GpSPhone (a Nintendo Gameboy Advance emulator for the iPhone and iPod Touch), announced the development of an N64 emulator for the iPhone and iPod touch. Zodttd believes that the current generation iPhone and iPod touch have the graphic CPU horsepower necessary to run those games. “…I can’t promise it will run games top notch just yet, as things are too early to say. There’s hope though, with a 3D accelerated graphics plugin, as well as an ARM dynarec.”
Now, I’m quite skeptical about it. I was a beta tester of the PSP emulator years ago (when I was following the PSP homebrew scene, God blesses Pspupdates) and it never worked, let’s face it. Could an iPhone emulator do better?
I doubt it.
