Daily Apple: Unethically Transmitted Diseases, App Store Clone, & Time Travel

Don’t Pirate That iWork, And Not Just For Morality’s Sake – It might be tempting to go around abusing Apple’s decision to remove the installation key requirement from their recently updated iWork ’09 suite, but it could also get you in more than just ethical trouble. CNET, among others, is reporting the recent discovery of a nasty Trojan in a pirated version of the software making its BitTorrent circles.

App Store Recreated for Those Who Hate iTunes – You might want to browse the ol’ App Store without firing up iTunes, or maybe you don’t own an iPhone and you just want to see what all the fuss is about. No problem, thanks to this fully rendered HTML version of the store, rendered in all its glory. Not sure if Apple’s thrilled about this one, but my money’s on definitely not.

Gizmodo Never-Ever App Photoshop Contest – While we’re on the subject of iPhone/iPod touch Apps, I came across this today in my daily travels. It’s one of Gizmodo’s regularly scheduled Photoshop contests, with the focus this time on creating fictional Apps that will never, never ever, never ever nev make it into the App Store.

Larry Magid’s Original L.A. Times Macintosh Review – An oldie but a goodie, this review of the first ever Macintosh computer will have you strolling down memory lane or thanking your lucky stars that technology advances at such a breakneck pace. I like where he talks about the Apple II, making reference to “stiff competition from Radio Shack,” which no longer exists here in Canada, having been replaced by soon-to-go Circuit City venture The Source.
