CompUSA: It Lives!

After it died, CompUSA was bought by Tigerdirect, and here are some of the first pictures of the freshly awakened PC retailer. Even better, the zombified store is reported by reader Martin B. to be better than its pre-undead version:
It's a much better store than it used to be, full of components, motherboards, and lots of actually _helpful_ people who know computers.

Guy Builds Nazi Tiger Tank, Invades Michigan

A Rommel-wannabe from Kettering University in Flint, Michigan, has built a fully working, 1:2 scale version of the Tiger I 56.9-tonne heavy tank used by the Wehrmacht in World War II. Not happy with that, he drives his amazing creation—Guderian-style—on the road, with a "yellow triangle" on the back. The thing is so menacing that his neighbours called the police, thinking he was planning to take over Poland. Or Detroit. It could have gone either way. More »

In addition to updating OS X Tiger to 10.4.11 for both Intel and PPC Macs, Apple's pulled out their software dump truck and are updating almost all their apps. iPhoto, Pro Apps, Compressor, Cinema Tools, Color, Motion, DVD Studio Pro, Final Cut Pro, and Soundtrack Pro are all getting updates as well. In addition, there's a security update for Panther 10.3.9, and a feature update for Safari on Windows that includes lots more shortcuts, more window resizing options, and spell/grammar check.

Earlier today the online Apple store had listed a ship date for Mac OS 10.4 Tiger as October 26th, which coincidentally is the rumored release date for 10.5 Leopard. Could this be more evidence for Leopard's release date or simply a mistake on Apple's part...

Don't forget that Apple's Boot Camp beta, the software that lets you install Windows on a Mac, will expire this month upon OS X 10.5's release. No worries though, all you have to do is upgrade to 10.5 and you'll be safe.[Apple]

Tiger Paw Screen Cleaner Cellphone Strap

Rather than have a cellphone strap that looks cute and does nothing, this Tiger Paw cellphone strap actually lets you clean your screen—albeit a small cellphone screen. Just put the tiger (or sheep) paw on your finger and start wiping away. The strap clings conveniently to your phone, and also comes with a tail for some reason. This is the greatest cellphone strap ever. [Strapya via Plastic Bamboo]

Rumor: Apple Charging $30 for Final Boot Camp for Tiger

Based on some documents they've snagged, MacScoop is reporting that the final version of Boot Camp for Tiger will run users 30 bucks. It will probably be dropping at the same time as OS X Leopard, which will feature Boot Camp natively. The beta version of Boot Camp currently available kicks the bucket at the end of September, so you have quite a bit of time to mull over whether you want to waste $30 on just Boot Camp or upgrade to Leopard and get a whole bucket full of new goodies. – Matt Buchanan More »
