Flickr user raneko (who is no stranger to regular Cult readers) has just uploaded a bunch of fantastic photos of Apple mice through the ages. They document the changes we’ve seen from the bulky, blocky Macintosh Mouse to today’s multi-touch wireless Magic Mouse. And if you’ve ever wondered what the inside of a Macintosh Mouse looked like

This is a hard one to watch: a 1984 Mac 512K meets its end in an industrial microwave oven. Watch as it goes up in flames – then witness the after effects of the burning on the keyboard, screen. It’s the work of Dovetastic, aka Kenny Irwin, who has been zapping everything from 1960s telephones to gas

Gallery: In Search of the Coolest Apple T-Shirt

It’s always a little dicey doing a “Best of” Apple t-shirts post because the really, truly best Apple t-shirts have always been the limited edition, short-run t-shirts that Apple prints up for employees and other associates, the ones Guy Kawasaki wrote about in his 1990 book, “The Macintosh Way.” In it he draws a

Here’s a rumor we can get behind — the next-gen iMac will get quad-core processors and a SD-Card slot, according the French website Mac4Ever. New iMacs are just around the corner, according to reports, and may be released in a matter of weeks. While some recent rumors suggest the machine may get a Blu-Ray drive, a

If Apple was in the paper business and Cupertino was in charge of designing the ubiquitous notepad, the result might have been similar to an Australian’s play on the fascination with everything ‘pod’. The ‘Notepod,’ which the cheeky makers – Inventive Labs – describes as “in a form reminiscent of a popular smart phone,” costs

25 Years of Mac: Engineer Steve Capps Talks

Engineer and programmer Steve Capps, who worked on Lisa, the Finder and Macintosh system utilities, talks about his work on the original Macintosh team with the guys at RetroMac Cast in a two-part podcast ( episodes 115 and 116). Capps got started by automating a library in college, then went to do the same at Xerox before landing at Apple in 1981. He was chosen to work for the Mac team because he had “the right chops at the right time.” Capps was working on a printer drive for the Lisa team, when Steve Jobs lost interest in Lisa and put the steam behind the Mac, calling Capps over. “Great to talk about the old glory days,” Capps , who went on to work on Internet Explorer and MSN Explorer, said.

AT&T is promising more and faster bars. CC-licensed photo by daBinsi (Vegas). Hot on the heels of the faster iPhone expected this summer, AT&T is promising to double the speed of up its 3G network. AT&T on Wednesday said it is bumping its 3G network to support HSPA 7.2 , which offers download speeds up to a peak of 7.2 Mbps, which is double its current capacity. The rollout will begin later this year, AT&T says. The company also promises it will “introduce multiple HSPA 7.2-compatible laptop cards and smartphones beginning later this year.” One of the smartphones is likely Apple’s next-generation iPhone. Apple is expected to introduce a faster iPhone that will support HSPA 7.2. The new iPhone will also likely have a faster processor, which will be better able to handle the faster data stream, quickly updating content like web pages and maps.

CrossLoop Brings Remote Support to Macs

Posted by Published in 000, 20, 21, CultOfMac, First impressions, Macintosh, Media, News, Object, PC, Software, Support, ad, ads, app, apple, application, art, cat, computer, copyright, db, developer, double, down, downloads, ds, ea, feed, free, ftw, geek, install, intel, logo, loo, mac, macs, mod, names, os, pet, ports, rts, switch, tech, true, upload

CrossLoop , the Monterey, CA-based developer of a popular screen-sharing application for PCs announced this month a version compatible with Intel Macs, extending the company’s innovative on-line technical support model to the Apple community. Having racked up over 100 million minutes of tech-support served by nearly 5 million downloads of its PC client since 2006, CrossLoop is now seriously targeting the universe of Mac users and even pitching the product as a perfect vehicle for helping PC users switch to Mac. While a great percentage of the peer-to-peer help sessions done with CrossLoop are free (downloading the software is free and there is no charge for users to share their computer screen with other CrossLoop members), the company’s platform supports a community of nearly 15,000 registered “helpers” whose freelance technical support can be had using the service for between $50 – $60 per hour. CrossLoop competes in a field with larger ( Citrix ) and better known ( Geek Squad ) names, but is currently logging a quarter million screen-sharing minutes a day and looks to be in the game for the long haul. If you are looking to help a friend remotely with a software install or considering freelancing your tech support skills on the side, CrossLoop could be well worth a look.

Turn Your Dead PowerMac G4 into a Wall Clock

Posted by Published in 20, 21, 25 Years of Mac, 999, CultOfMac, DIY, Hardware Hacks, Media, Object, Quickies, Software, Web, about, ad, ads, app, apple, apple.com, art, bed, ces, computer, cool, copyright, db, desktop, double, ds, ea, feed, ftw, g4, g5, games, gear, handmade, hp, iPhone, ibed, iphones, loo, mac, mad, old, omg, os, specs, time, true, ui, upload

Can you think of another company whose outdated and obsolete products get repurposed as art pieces even a fraction as often as do those from Apple? How about a late 20th century PowerMac G4 , which, as a 10 year-old desktop might possibly still be good enough to run your elementary school children’s games and learning software, but for all practical purposes is probably better suited as the inspiration for a wall clock to remind you, time after time, how gear Apple cool is. At a mere $60, these may not last long and you should look into turning your own dusty G4 into a DIY project. [ iPhoneSavior ] This article is copyright Cultomedia Corp .

The event is free and open to the public. Tekserve is located at 119 West 23rd Street, just west of 6th Avenue.
