We’re constantly collecting scraps of information: recipes, website
addresses, notes for a meeting next week, or a list of music to buy.
OmniOutliner store these bits, but it’s especially useful in organizing
them for further action. It quickly turns out to-do lists, writing
outlines, and other guides. The results are valuable enough to justify
adding OmniOutliner to your Applications folder even though much of its
functionality is redundant with any text editor.
When Canon announced the 5D back in 2005, it was a game-changer. The
camera was the first full-frame DSLR--meaning that its CMOS sensor is
the same size as a frame of 35mm film, about 60 percent larger than the
sensors in most DSLRs--in a standard sized SLR body, all for just a bit
more than $3,000. Three years later, its successor, the 5D Mark II,
pushes the image-quality bar higher and the cost of entry lower.
After reports of the 3GS overheating, Apple has published a support document that details the circumstances that might lead to overheating, and what to do if it happens to you.
And we thought Apple scoffed at the Blackberry Storm’s haptic feedback. Guess not, because Apple has filed a patent

(can’t see what you are pressing), but shows haptic display technology
as the solution.
The iPhone is notorious for picking up fingerprints like the FBI at a
homicide scene. Now, they might finally be put to good use.
Apple can continue to gloat about the unprecedented successes the
iPhone has had, because the latest Consumer Reports ratings for
smartphones show the 3GS at the top of the pack.
Not that we aren’t fond of people singing along with tunes on their
iPods, but quite frankly, most of you are horrible. It isn’t your
fault, we know you can’t hear yourselves. So, we aren’t sure if Apple’s
latest patent, uncovered by MacRumors, is the greatest.
