Okay, okay, have we all settled down from iPad 2 mania? Sure, it finally hit the UK this week and the Brits went gaga for it, but meanwhile other stuff's popping. Like what? you ask. I guess you came to the right place to find out all the stuff you missed. You know, just in case.
Features:
- First Look: Firefox 4 for Mac - Firefox 4 is out the gate for Mac and PC users promising all kinds of speed and performance enhancements plus tons of other new goodies. We got our hands on a copy and took a look under the hood to see what the big deal was, and of course we had to share what we discovered with you.
- Spring Cleaning: Five Awesome Disk Cleaners - Sure, our Macs are nowhere near as finicky and needy when it comes to user maintenance as our friends' PCs, but that doesn't mean we haven't junked up our hard drive or don't have any corrupted files lurking about. We've rounded up five of the best disk cleaning softwares we could find just to help you and your Mac get in the spring cleaning spirit.
Reviews:
- App Showdown: RSS Newspapers - The big gorgeous iPad screen is killer for games and video but it can also turn your boring old RSS feed into a thing of beauty. While traditional print newspapers are dying, you can take your online lists and give them the old newsie spin with these slick apps.
- 13-inch 2.3GHz Core i5 MacBook Pro Review - It's not Apple's biggest and best laptop but it sure is a sweet little machine and we put it through its paces to see just what it is capable of doing. It smoked the latest MacBook Air and came with the wicked new Thunderbolt port which transferred our data at the speed of awesome.
How-Tos:
- How to Convert Voicemail to Text Messages - If you're a Google Voice user, you're already pretty familiar with the ability to turn your voice messages into transcribed text. Well, did you know you can auto-forward your regular iPhone calls to your Google Voice number and have it do its magic? Now you do!
- How to Secure Your Facebook Profile - You'd hate it if someone totally jacked your Facebook account and was trolling through your pictures, reading your private messages, sending naughty comments to your friends or parents, wouldn't you? So why do you log in to the site on public WiFi, and why do you not lock your Facebook account down a little bit more? You don't know how? That's what we're here for.
News:
Guess who's turning nine this year? That's right, the OS we love love love OS X...and what better way to celebrate than with the early summer release of Lion? Apple's clearly on schedule with the Golden Master set to drop...and will MobileMe be getting a revamping to coincide with all this newness? Yes, if the rumormill is on its game, plus $20 yearly cloud music thrown in to boot...and as long as you're rocking some MobileMe, you might as well get your Calendar synced up to 11, because when it works right, it's all gold...but should this mystical free MobileMe (with non-free, add-on music streaming) prove as elusive as unicorns and white iPhones, you can always access all your music through your very own VPN....continuing down the MobileMe path we've been carving for ourselves today, here's a tip on saving an email sent through MobileMe's iDisk web app -- you know, in case you want to.
And while we keep harping on MobileMe, this week something else happened in the realm of someone with Mobile in their name, that being AT&Ts attempt to acquire T-Mobile...which, of course, had us here asking what does this mean for the iPhone, will it make it to T-Mobile or what?...and it's clearly a question many are asking...another Mobile we're interested in seeing do well, for well's sake is GV Mobile + which just came back to the App Store with a huge, ginormous, eupdate.
