One of the questions coming out of Apple’s earnings is whether the Mac is soon going to be following in its PC brethren’s footsteps. But it’s a bit too early to say.
There are two OS X modeling programs I’ve become quite enamored with: AmpliTube 3 Custom Shop and Guitar Rig 5 Pro. Both can also plug in directly to GarageBand for use in recording a variety of sounds without having to blow out your bank account.
I’m looking to self-publish my writing, so I took a look at a bunch of different Mac apps that can create ebooks. The best I found were Apple’s Pages, Adobe InDesign, and Scrivener. Here’s a look the pros and cons of each program.
Tapbots explained the $20 price tag on its heavily anticipated Mac Twitter client by blaming Twitter’s “token limits,” set forth this past summer, which effectively cap how many users their Mac client can have.
Here’s our daily pick of stories about Apple from around the web that you shouldn’t miss. Today’s installment: revelations about Apple and Microsoft’s licensing agreement, the super-secure iPhone, signs point to a September iPhone launch, the mythical Apple television, and the death of optical drives.
Some say Apple is not really thinking differently enough about TV ads with its new “genius” campaign. Everyone already knows the iPhone and iPad, why shouldn’t the company play up an intangible feature — its customer service — that potential new customers may not know about?
Following an outcry from environmentalists and customers, Apple is reversing its decision to walk away from EPEAT certification for its computers. On Friday, outgoing SVP of Hardware Engineering Bob Mansfield posted a letter on Apple’s website calling the move “a mistake.”
The popular iPhone client Tweetbot will now have an application for Mac, an exciting development for fans of the product, but an interesting development to come just as Twitter has announced plans to restrict third-party use of its API and keep Twitter users on Twitter products.
The latest version of Skype for Mac has just been released and supports OS X Mountain Lion. By releasing the new Skype in advance of Apple’s own OS release, scheduled for next month, it’s clear Skype remains committed to supporting the service for Mac users.
Version 12 of the Filemaker Pro database line for Mac, Windows and iOS is out. This new version introduces some key enhancements that will make the business software even more appealing to organizations with large databases and those using iOS devices for mobile access to Filemaker solutions.

Is Apple responsible for thefts of its products that happen after a user takes possession? I’m inclined to answer with a resounding “no,” but that’s not how everyone feels, according to a recently concluded lawsuit by a Toronto-based lawyer.
Apple might have quad-core iPhone and iPad devices coming in 2012, according to some code discovered deep in Apple’s iOS 5.1 pre-release software on Friday. This discovery adds fuel to the fire surrounding rumors the iPad 3 will boast a quad-core A6 processor.
Apple is facing a lawsuit in France over its retail practices, and that case will be monitored closely by other resellers on the continent, a new report says. Still, others say this is just business as usual for Apple and the French case won’t change that.
In its fight with Android hardware-makers, Apple almost seems to see itself as a noble hero fighting a nefarious villain bent on stealing its identity and reputation. But just or not, is the fight one that makes sense to Apple from a practical and business standpoint?
PC, Mac and Linux users are finally able to upgrade Boxee to its most recent version – but they won’t be getting any future upgrades. The company announced today that it is officially abandoning the PC platform, completely concentrating on CE devices instead.

Time may not be your biggest challenge even as holiday shopping draws to a close. Apple gadget-lovers can be hard to shop for, since they tend to satisfy their own needs when it comes to accessories. Still, there’s something for everyone among the following twelve suggestions.
I’m starting to think there’s a union rule: In every shooter, the helicopter, plane, train, or automobile you use to arrive will be destroyed. Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation for iOS is no exception, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Mobile experience designer Christian Lindholm believes that great products are born out of deep, relentless dissatisfaction with the present and the status quo. Inside Apple’s walls, Jobs almost seemed to carry the burden of all humanity’s frustration with bad products.
Sleipnir, for those not versed in Norse mythology, was the eight-legged horse of the god Odin. It’s also the name of an iOS browser that has a reputation for doing things a little differently. A new Mac beta version could change your desktop browsing habits, too.
There are an increasing number of apps that not only support both the iPhone and iPad, but also have an OS X version available. Here’s how three devs behind WriteRoom, TextExpander and DropBox have teamed up to make cross-platform writing as painless as possible.
When Lion first came out, transitioning from Spaces to Mission Control was a big change for me. If you’re looking to take some control back from Mission Control in order to make things feel a little more like how they were before, here are some tips.
Apple and its fans will no doubt feel the loss of Steve Jobs as CEO, but while the man may have been the primary architect and master builder of the company that has sparked multiple computing industry revolutions, he isn’t the lynchpin.
With every OS upgrade, there’s always some new annoyances that pop up, and since Lion is such a big update to OS X, it stands to reason that it has more annoyances than usual. Here’s how to remedy seven of them quickly and easily.
Apple just reported the results for its fiscal third quarter 2011 that ended on June 25, 2011. It was a blow out quarter led primarily by the booming demand for iPhones, iPads and Macs. Here is a quick breakdown of numbers for the quarter.
OS X Lion can run apps in full-screen mode, allowing compatible Mac software to take up the whole screen, as it does in iOS. Thanks to an update to Fluid, virtually any website can become an independent full-screen app as soon as Lion is ready.
Steve Jobs said at the WWDC keynote this week that “the truth is in the cloud.” He wasn’t just being hyperbolic when he said this, though. It’s actually a clever reference to how iCloud will work behind the scenes, and how it will make apps better.
Are iCloud and iOS 5 just Apple playing catch-up with Google and Android? No way, according to Steve Jobs himself in 1997. In fact, the WWDC announcements are actually Apple making good on long-standing promises. Check out Jobs describing the Apple of today 14 years ago
Apple made it official early Tuesday morning: We’ll see details about three exciting new software products at WWDC 2011 next week. OS X Lion, iOS 5 and iCloud will all be included in the Monday keynote. But what, specifically, can we expect to see announced?
Apple’s back to school promotion has run the last several years, from the last week in May to the first week in September. However, as the growth of iPod sales has slowed and other products have the spotlight, it might be time to rethink the promotion.
In a disc-less age, what is a disk burning platform to do besides re-invent itself? The challenge is which way to steer your product. In the case of Roxio and its market-leading disc burning tool Toast, that direction points down two different paths.
In light of recent events regarding the security of online password managers, it’s worth a look at some of the alternatives out there, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Here’s a look at the three best iPhone, iPad and Mac password managers money can buy.
There will come a time when you realize that you want to get something off of your iPhone, and yet you don’t have access to the Mac your normally sync with, or your Mac’s HD has failed. Don’t worry, you can still reach your iPhone’s data.
Apple may be readying high res or “Retina” display Mac computers, according to resources discovered in the latest build of OS X Lion. The discovery of new larger wallpaper and high-res icons indicates Apple may be planning to double the resolution of current Mac displays.
One of the biggest changes that came as a result of the introduction of the iPad and iPhone was in the way developers design and develop software. And this change appears to have a much farther reaching impact than you might have imagined.
Coming in below expectations on iPads, down on iPod sales, but up big on iPhones and Macs, Apple announced record second quarter earnings today. Apple reported earnings revenue of $24.67 billion and a net quarterly profit of $5.99 billion, or $6.40 earnings per share.
As mobile apps become more sophisticated, they can be preferable over their desktop counterparts: fully functional, but faster and easier to use. Two major computer makers recognize what this means: the potential for huge disruption through a subtle merger of traditional desktop computing and mobile platforms.
Apple released its latest update for OS X, 10.6.7. The relatively minor software update for Snow Leopard brings bug fixes and general maintenance updates for a number of system components, and addresses issues with the Mac App Store, which shipped with OS X 10.6.6 in January.
The Mac App Store may offer some great deals on software for OS X, but the bundle is probably the best value for your money. There’s a new MacUpdate Bundle out today that offers a few great apps for the price of one.
Looking for a way to connect another display to your Mac, but you’ve already used the video-out port? Air Display can turn a second Mac into an additional display letting you use your MacBook as a spare screen for your iMac, or vice versa.
If you’re planning on buying a new machine, it’s a great idea to sell your old Mac to cover some of the new computer’s cost. If you choose to go this route, make sure to follow these steps to prepare your used machine for new ownership.
When choosing between a MacBook Air and an iPad 3G, you might think you’re giving up GPS if you go with the MacBook. That’s not necessarily the case, and if you’re looking for turn-by-turn directions and trip logging, you’re in luck.
Apple doesn’t seem to want to keep physical media around that much longer, opting instead to distribute software and media via digital download. It’s a brave strategy, and probably one that most companies will eventually adopt, but in the meantime it could leave many consumers behind.
When Verizon originally launched its 4G network, Mac support for its mobile modems was notably lacking. Two months later, Verizon is offering a version of its VZAccess Manager for Mac software that adds support for the Pantech UML290, one of the network’s two 4G-compatible USB modems.
Macworld Expo 2011 has drawn to a close and, despite its name, this year the show had little to do with the Mac. Instead, the iPad took center stage, and the show gave a great glimpse into the future of Apple’s supporting players.
Macworld 2011 raised a few important questions for the Mac community. These are the questions I was asked by Mac-loving friends who couldn’t attend this year and people on Twitter. You’ll notice that the effect of Apple’s continued absence at the show is a prevailing theme.
One of the new features at Macworld 2011 this year was an Industry Forum day where various Apple luminaries were invited to deliver their own “State of the Union” about where the market is headed. Here are some key highlights from that event.
Skype 5 for Mac left beta today, bringing with it new group video chat features, improvements, and a new design. The development team behind Skype for Mac listened to user concerns and complaints, which were numerous, and made changes to the final version accordingly.
Got hardware problems? There is no one clear leader in the Mac DIY repair market. When shopping for a hardware troubleshooting utility, choosing the right one can be difficult. What’s a wise shopper to do? Read this guide, of course.
Twitter for Mac is one of the great apps introduced alongside the Mac App Store. Since then, it’s been updated twice and the app’s icon changed (some would say for the worse) both times. Here’s how to change the icon back to whichever you like best.
So you’ve just installed tons of apps from the Mac App Store, but now you realize you don’t really need that fifth Twitter client. How to uninstall it? Unlike Windows, OS X doesn’t have a “Remove Programs” tool, but the answer is actually simpler than that.
Watching the launch of the Mac App Store, I am struck by the change in the way people buy software. Much like primitive societies evolved from the hunter-gatherer model of resource collection to an agrarian civilization of cultivated farming, so has shopping for software changed.
New data from JiWire suggests that the shift Steve Jobs predicted about consumers migrating their computing workload away from truck-like computers to nimble tablets is underway. The Wi-Fi provider reported new connections to its network from Macs and PCs were down while new iPad users jumped.
With the launch of the Mac App Store earlier today, you might be eager to find out what Mac games are available to waste your precious time. While the choices right now are quite limited, there are still some gems out there worthy of attention.
You may have some cash from the holidays, and buying a Mac is as good a way as any to spend that money. Think about what you want, but more importantly, think about what you need. Here’s some advice to help make your decision easier.
As if you needed another reason to ditch cable in 2011, it looks like prices are going up. So if you’re finally tired of getting fleeced, here’s a number of choices for how to cut the cord and go cable-free the Apple way.
Following the success of the MacHeist offerings, time-limited bundles of software seem to be popular these days. The Fusion Ads Holiday Bundle includes a number of programs that may be of interest to Mac-using web workers. The collection includes the following software:
In my 6 month check-in documenting my move to Mac, I mentioned some of the general usability issues that I was still experiencing. My last post garnered a lot of comments in response, with some great tips from readers I thought I would share with you.
Google’s power in the mobile computing world seems to grow with every new product announcement and Android device that comes to market. But for all its reach, the search giant is missing one piece of the puzzle that Apple does better than anyone else: product integration.
Verizon (s vz) today unveiled its first LTE modems, but they won’t work with your Mac (s aapl). Not if you’re using OS X, at least. The LG VL600, Verizon’s LTE launch USB modem device, is only compatible with Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7.
Reeder for Mac, the desktop version of the popular RSS reader application for iOS devices, has officially entered public beta. We ran the free Draft 1 version of Reeder through its paces to see how it ranks as a means of aggregating your RSS world.
One of the first things I advise people to install when they get a new Mac is a quicklaunch application, such as Quicksilver or LaunchBar. However, the decision of which one to install just got harder with the introduction of a solid contender called Alfred.
My closet is so overfull with boxes from Apple that I hardly have room for anything else. I love my Macs, iOS devices, and Apple software. But there are some things about Apple products that just leave me wondering: why don’t they fix this?
Over half of new Macs are being bought by users new to the platform. After years of negative experiences on that other platform, new Mac users might be a little worried about downloading software for their machine. Here are some safe bets to get you started.
Apple announced yesterday that it is now accepting submissions for the upcoming Mac App Store. Revealed in October, the Mac version will operate much like the iOS App Store, and is set to launch sometime in January 2011 if Apple keeps to its schedule.
Word 2008 quickly fell out of favor with me. It consistently crashed on exit. It was horribly slow, and struggled to keep up with itself. If Word 2011 just felt faster and didn’t crash, I’d consider it money well spent. But Microsoft went beyond that.
As a musician, I’ll never forget seeing Logic for the first time and thinking, “Here we go baby!” Back then, GarageBand paled in comparison, so any semi-pro audio-technician would only use it for quick work. But iLife ’11 is blurring the line between the two programs.
It’s inevitable. Each Apple event changes the industry: sometimes for the better; other times, well, depends on who you ask. The latest Apple event may not be as obvious a game changer as others this past year, but its effects will be felt nonetheless.
When Steve Jobs announced the Mac App Store yesterday, my first feeling wasn’t excitement, but rather worry. My concern is that the Mac App Store will, perhaps in two or three years, become the only effective channel through which Mac developers can sell their apps.
You’re not alone if you’ve ever wondered when the convenience of the App Store would be unleashed on your Mac. Apple’s “Back to the Mac” event this morning revealed that the wait will soon be over. Developers could have the most to cheer about, though.
Earlier today, Steve Jobs addressed the Mac faithful at an event focused on Apple computers and software. The announcements weren’t all that surprising, but it’s all good news for consumers and developers alike. New Macbook Airs and a preview of OS X 10.7 stole the show.
New versions of iMovie ’11 and GarageBand ’11 were demoed today: the only other two programs from iLife ’11 that got screen time aside from iPhoto ’11. There were some very interesting additions to the software, including trailers for iMovie and better lessons in GarageBand.
Apple SVP of Worldwide Product Marketing Phil Schiller was on hand at today’s event to demonstrate the new features of iPhoto ’11. Full-screen interfaces, improved printed books and slideshows, and brand new ways to share photos online and via new Letterpress cards were among the highlights
For fourth quarter 2010, Apple reported the best quarter and year in company history, with record sales of Mac and iPhones almost overshadowed by the iPad. That’s not all we can expect from Apple for this calendar year, though, as Steve Jobs hinted at some surprises.
A new version of Skype for Windows arrived yesterday, bringing tighter Facebook integration along with other new goodies like group video calling. But while Windows users celebrated the new arrival, Mac users watched from the sidelines as the parade marched past. What’s up with that?
Does the Mac community need another Web browser? Probably not if we’re talking conventional browsers, as there’s a luxury of choices already available: Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and a gaggle of others. But Fake is different, and it could just be the time-saver you’re looking for.
Apple is celebrating a big milestone today, as its Mac OS X operating system turns 10. We probably won’t see a major update to the OS Macs are running before next year, but when it does come it probably won’t look much like it does today.
A prediction has been going around the blogosphere for a few months saying that Apple will eventually replace OS X with iOS, and a lot of people seem to agree. I don’t. That prediction has never sounded to me like something Apple would do.
A university professor friend and recent platform-switcher jestingly refers to “the Church of the Mac.” He’s become an enthusiastic Mac evangelist and is perceiving some loose parallels. My learned friend is far from unique in drawing analogies between computer platform affinities and religion.
I finally get to dig into all of the applications that I’ve ?been reading about for years but haven’t had the chance to try. My first foray was to look into the area of PKM. Would I find a tool that suited me on my Mac?
Yesterday I wrote a post about a nicely-design Mac browser automation tool. I noted that it was very easy to use, even for non-developers, so to show just how simple it is to automate some tasks (and why that might be useful), I made a screencast:
Fake is a new Mac browser automation tool. While it’s probably most useful for web developers who need to run test tasks, it’s surprisingly easy to use, which makes it useful for anyone who’d like to automate tedious or repetitive browser tasks.
The iPhone was released in 2007 running iOS 1.0 and now, in 2010 we receive our fourth huge update to iOS where Apple’s Leopard and Snow Leopard are largely unchanged from a feature perspective and only maintain system improvements, speed enhancements and other changes.
Apple’s new Mac mini has a number of great new features including an updated case, an HDMI port and a speed bump in specs, but what’s not so great is its value proposition when compared to an iMac or MacBook.
The Mac Mini desktop sees a hardware upgrade today, along with a price boost. It’s still the cheapest Mac desktop at $699, but with new Nvidia graphics and HDMI output, might it be your next Apple TV while Boxee and Google sit on the sidelines?
Today Apple revealed an updated and more powerful version of its compact desktop computer, the Mac mini. It’s 20 percent smaller, 25 percent more power efficient and a heck of a lot easier to upgrade.
When evaluating if a move to Mac was possible, I created a list of the software tools that I used on a day-to-day basis, and then looked for replacements on the Mac side of the fence, as it’s the software that determines my productivity.
Every one of us makes a trip to the Apple menu almost every day. Even though it probably doesn’t seem like much of a chore, learning a few shortcuts can’t hurt and will save precious seconds every time you use this menu.
One of my biggest concerns was adjusting to a touchpad after many years of using a TrackPoint. While the multi-finger touch options are really useful, especially for browsing and such, for heavy text work, I still keep reaching for my TrackPoint.
Flickr is a wonderful resource, with millions of images online. Like many vast resources, finding that perfect image can be a real challenge. I regularly search for images of products on Flickr, and a utility I use to expedite those searches is Viewfinder for the Mac.
In my last post I provided some background on my decision to move to Mac after 20 years using PCs. It wasn’t a decision I made lightly, with three major areas of concern that I needed to address before considering the switch: Support, software and usability.
Ever since the App Store opened its doors, Apple fans have been calling out for something similar for the desktop. However, if a recent email from Steve Jobs himself is anything to go by, OS X users won’t be seeing anything of the sort anytime soon.

Like some of you, I’m quite the “Apple purist.” I’m not a fan of fancy cases that junk up my Macs. I don’t like skins for my iPods and those plastic snap cases for my laptop.

Even though web workers tend to do almost everything online, we still have files on our computer that matter.

Install, sync, forget about it…if you have decent broadband, of course.
