On Tuesday, Adobe released the fourth revision of their popular Lightroom product for photo editing and organizing. For $149 (only $79 if you’re a student or purchasing an upgrade from a previous version), Lightroom 4 adds basic video editing capabilities and an improved photo editing interface. Sliders default to the zero position in the middle, […]
Apple made an announcement (something to do with a pad of some sort) yesterday, and while we’re still working on serious coverage, here are two not-so-serious pieces about it. First is from The Onion, which is completely on-point as always: This Article Generating Thousands Of Dollars In Ad Revenue Simply By Mentioning New iPad SAN […]
Apple’s Siri application and her Android competition have been on my radar for a few months now, but somehow I managed to miss the commercial that Apple released several weeks ago. [yframe url=’http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G8fG1bKgQo’] Smart of them to go for the youth market, but somehow this tongue-in-cheek (and a bit NSFW) remix by Matt Binder does […]
Googlighting, Microsoft’s latest Google-bashing attempt, has resulted in another commercial by the corporate giant. This time, Microsoft specifically attacks Google’s line of cloud services, including Google Docs and Gmail through a mock interview and singing parody. Microsoft’s Google Man steps into the office of a CEO, trying to sell Google’s cloud collaboration software to be […]
I confess to not being as big a fan of Apple’s current iteration of their desktop operating system. Don’t get me wrong, Lion 10.7 is great, but few of the new features are a compelling reason for me to upgrade from 10.6 Snow Leopard. Throw in stuff like FreeNAS not working (as well as UPnP) […]
College text books are way too expensive. Apple hopes to stop this long-lasting trend with the release of the recently-announced iBooks 2 for iOS (and more specifically the iPad), a cheaper and more interactive solution to the age-old paper solution. Before this, shelling out $300 a semester on books was considered a cheap semester, with […]
The International Trade Commission issued its ruling this past Monday, finding that HTC technology infringed on two claims in Apple’s iPhone patent. The claims are related to the data tapping feature that marks telephone numbers and email addresses within a document that converts them into actionable links. ITC’s ruling bans HTC phones with this feature […]
According to a FAQ updated today, Intuit is proceeding with earlier rumored plans to update their Quicken for Mac 2007 product with OS X 10.7 Lion compatibility. Since it was originally developed for PowerPC based Macs, Quicken required the Rosetta emulator to run on modern Intel-based Macs. Apple removed Rosetta support in Lion. I suppose […]
When AOL first built AIM back in 1997, the messenger was well received as a major contender in the popular new genre of instant messaging clients. By 2006, AIM had more users than any of the other major competitors. With the more recent growth in popularity of “one client connects all” IM software, the ubiquitous […]
Apple makes their iTunes Music Match service available to the general public today, after months of beta-testing by developers. Windows and Mac OS X users interested in trying out the subscription-based service need to download iTunes version 10.5.1 first, followed by parting with $25. The release is apparently slightly late, as developers initially saw this […]
