Give Good Food to Your Mac: Software Discounts

Posted by   Published in 23, News, Software, ad, ads, app, apple, art, cat, deals, feed, hp, image, mac, prices, purchase, retail, stand, store

The idea of a ‘bundle’ promotion is a common occurrence in the Mac software world. The most widely publicized event centered around great deals on indie Mac software is MacHeist . The general idea is that bundling a package of applications together leads to a great deal for you, the user, and also generates a huge amount of publicity for the featured applications. A similar promotion has launched this week, with a few notable differences. Give Good Food to Your Mac (organized by Aquafadas ) offers a huge range of different applications, with discounts increasing progressively depending upon the number of applications you purchase. Claudia Zimmer, Aquafadas’ CEO explains: We are pleased to introduce the Third Edition of ‘Give Good Food to your Mac’. It’s a chance for us to build a community among developers and together, create opportunities that would not be possible alone. Mac users benefit from it as they can discover our software at great prices. The Discounts Available While the promotion doesn’t feature the world’s catchiest name, it does give some great discounts. Buying 3 apps saves you 20%, 4 apps saves 30%, and 5 or more knocks a whopping 50% off the normal retail price. As you add applications to your cart, it’s simple to see how much you stand to save, along with how many more applications you need to reach the next level. (more…)

iPhone Spelling Mistake Blunder

Posted by   Published in 23, Humor, Macworld, News, Software, ad, ads, app, apple, art, cat, feed, iPhone, iPod, iTunes, image, loo, mac, photo, podcast, release, software update

It’s generally taken for granted that a cutting edge company such as Apple has a well oiled system of editors and copywriters who check software releases for errors before they go live. Unfortunately, it seems that the system has broken down with the latest iPhone software release . Apple has written the Categories menu on the new Podcast download area of the new app as “Catagories”. The error is even more unfortunate, as the correct spelling of the word can be seen at the bottom of the page. Macworld humorously referenced back to Scott Forstall, Apple’s vice president of platform experience, who said: I actually have a photographer’s loupe that I use to make sure every pixel is right. We will argue over literally a single pixel. I’ve done the math, and in order to miss the word ‘Catagories’, Scott has overlooked eight hundred and six pixels… He needs to have a few strong words with whoever has been delegated the loupe in recent months. It will be interesting to see what move Apple takes to correct this

iPhone 2.2 Firmware Released, Google Maps and Podcasts Take Center Stage

Posted by   Published in 23, News, Software, ad, ads, app, apple, apple.com, art, awesome, cat, feed, iPhone, iTunes, icon, image, loo, release, software update, tv

Today Apple released the iPhone 2.2 firmware update and it is available to download throught iTunes. Just click on “check for updates” to force iTunes to call home and start downloading the latest update. While some iPhone pages have not been updated yet, you can download a new iPhone User Guide from Apple.com that outlines how to use these new features. Developers will also find an updated iPhone SDK in the iPhone Dev Center . Browsing through the menus, it looks like the background push notification service that was promised (~56:35) for September is still missing. But what is there looks nice. The new Street View in Maps is awesome. I’ve found that feature really useful at times when I want to get an idea of what a building looks like before I head out on the road. The other thing I’m really excited about? The new option to click the Home button to jump to the first Home screen. I have my icons arranged to put the most important items on the first page. I’ll definitely use this option so I can quickly jump back to my main apps instead of swiping, swiping, swiping, etc. to get back to the first page (why doesn’t Apple just let home screens wrap around so swiping to the right of the last page takes you back to the first page?).
