Corel Painter 11

Painter has been around the computer graphics world almost as long as Photoshop and has always been the absolute leader in the realm of simulating natural media (paintbrushes, pencils, inks, and so on)—and retains the title to this very day. While this latest version of Painter continues to be the go-to app for painting on your Mac, this update is possibly the least exciting in the program’s history and doesn’t offer much in the way of upgrade incentive for existing users.

How to Replace the Optical Drive in a Power Mac G5

Our art director, Robin, rocks a tricked-out Mac Pro at work, but at home her trusty steed is a Power Mac G5. Compared to her work machine, the 6-year-old G5 could qualify for Social Security benefits, but it’s still trucking along, after previous upgrades to the RAM and hard drive.

Recently, however, the SuperDrive stopped reading DVDs. And poor Robin worried this might be the final warning sign that her Mac isn’t long for this world. After all, a friend of hers bought the same one at the same time, and that G5 suffered a fatal frying of the logic board and went up to that great server farm in the sky.

We get all giddy about installing Snow Leopard on Friday and using Dock Expose until our eyes bleed. Steve Jobs is allegedly working non-stop on the tablet and an iPhone app developer has a few choice words for Apple.

Plus we got a sweet tip for never-ever forgetting your Airport password. Just hope no one breaks into your house to use Wi-Fi.

Create Stunning Cloud Images with Phoenix

I love spending my afternoons peacefully lying in a field, staring up at the sky and looking at the figures and formations my mind conjures up from the clouds, from cats to dragons to my boss’s face asking me what the heck I’m doing lying in a field and not in the office on a Monday afternoon. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create your own images within cloud formations without ever having to leave your desk. We’ll use Phoenix, Aviary.com’s Web-based image editor, which is akin to Adobe Photoshop but doesn’t require you to install any software.

Even if it’s been a few decades since you wore a towel as a cape and declared the family dachshund to be your loyal sidekick, who doesn’t want to be a superhero? Four years after its initial release on the Windows platform, the superhero MMORPG City of Heroes has landed on Intel Macs.

LaCie Rugged XL

The chances of your desk being thrown off course and landing in the ocean are slim. But, if by chance your desk is tossed out to sea, and you need immediate rescue from the Coast Guard, the 1TB LaCie Rugged XL is the external hard drive you’ll want, to be more easily spotted by the helicopter (although despite what its name might imply, its ruggedness doesn’t extend to water-resistance, so your data might suffer a bit).

Radius Atomic Bass Earphones for iPhone

Posted 08/24/2009 at 10:37am | by Ray Aguilera

The biggest complaint we hear about headphones is the lack of bass. And it makes sense. Asking tiny speakers that go in your ears to recreate the boom of 12-inch woofers is a tall order. Now that Apple’s iPhone comes in a 32GB version, more users can forgo the iPod/cell phone combo in favor of a single device that can make calls, run apps, and hold a sizable chunk of your music collection. And bass-heads take note: The Atomic Bass Earphones are as apt a name as we can think of, although there are some drawbacks.

As the Apple fanboy elite, our favorite product to mock is the Microsoft Zune, but with the introduction of the Zune HD, they who must not be named may have a one-up over the current line of iPod touches, bragging that they can plug one into their TVs and playback 720p HD video.

While including your Twitter and Facebook friends' contact information would be a pretty cool add-on to Mac's Address Book, recently released "screenshots" appear less than completely accurate looking.

Unless there's a supreme head-fake in the works, don't count on any major Tablet announcements on 09/09/09. Despite that, though, the rumors persist and in this case, multiply to the point that at least one person is claiming that there's not just one iPad in the works, but two models of different sizes.
