Ellen Feiss Stars In A Movie

Ellen Feiss, star of the most famous and most watched Switch Ad, is back! She’s starring in a french movie called “Bed and Breakfast” as one half of a set of newlyweds (I think, as my French is nonexistent). We doubt she’s going to throw in any Feiss-isms in the movie—beep beep beep—but she’s still…

Apple ‘Thought Police’ Give up on Forcing Bloggers to Name Sources

Apple has graciously decided to step away from its campaign to force bloggers to reveal sources of leaked information about secret products. Even though the first trial of this case was decided in favor of Apple, the Electronic Frontier Foundation challenged that decision in an appeals court, which ruled that the Cupertino Fruit Company couldn’t…

Mac Slingbox Users Wanted by Sling Media for Limited Beta

Sling Media broke Mac users’ hearts a few weeks ago when they announced that the Mac version of SlingPlayer, the software used to interface with the company’s place shifting Slingbox, would be delayed until around September.

Evangelical Tract Says Says ‘Ipod Guy’ Needs Jesus

We’re as inclined as anyone to believe that Steve Jobs is going to spend eternity in flames—somebody has to pay for all those DS_store files—but Rich Robinson of Jews for Jesus is really sure. So certain that he made this evangelical tract, currently being passed around (or thrown on the ground) in New York’s very…

Metal Case for Next Gen iPod Nano?

In light of all the controversy regarding the iPod nano’s flimsy construction, Apple is reportedly considering making the next generation of its flash-based portable music player out of metal, possibly aluminum. Not seen since the iPod mini, metal is being chosen to help cut down on scratches and other deformities that have been associated with…

VH1’s ‘Best Week Ever’ Parodies Apple ‘Get a Mac’ Ads

Of course, no matter how hard they try, they’ll never be as cool as John Hodge-man. (Which is why the original Apple ads ultimately fail: Hodge-man is more desirable than the Mac twerp. John’s a hug from a tweed library.)

Apple Logo On PS3 Site Flash Animation

This is a bit interesting. The flash movie intro for the Sony Playstation 3 site has one frame of Apple’s logo, flashed only for a second like those Simpsons in-jokes. What does this mean? Well, remember when Soy said their chip can run OS X? Maybe this is their way of telling everyone they’re still…

Apple’s 10.4.7 Update Also Phones Home

Sort of innocuous in the grand scheme of things, the new update from Apple adds a widget verification program. This program verifies whether the widgets present in the dashboard is authentic by sending an HTTP GET command to Apple’s servers every eight hours. There’s no way to turn this off (yet, but maybe you could…

European iPod Filings Confirm Apple Still Swiping Ideas

Apple Insider’s lede is a bit daft: “A recent series of design filings made by Apple Computer suggests the company may have intentions of abandoning its Click-Wheel interface in future versions of its iPod digital music players.” Taken collectively, the interface designs are clearly a work of inscrutable Apple skullduggery, slapping up iPods with control…

Apple Drops eMac, iMac Takes Its Place

Just a few days after introducing a 1GB iPod nano, Apple is once again making some changes to its product lineup. This time, Cupertino is eliminating the education market’s eMac and replacing it with a lower-spec’d 17-inch widescreen iMac. What’s surprising is that the replacement iMac isn’t just a glorified doorstop—a 1.83 GHz Intel Core…

Transparent Screen iMac Mockup

Since we’re showing off our new images capability this morning, take a gander at this speculative iMac mockup, commissioned by MacFormat magazine.

AppleInsider has been all over the Leopard—Apple’s latest operating system—and the features that it may include.

Personal Troubleshooting Moment: Macbook Pro and 10.4.7

I updated to 10.4.7 night before last. Ever since, I’ve had increasingly frequent lock-ups on my system. They aren’t hard locks, insomuch as I can still move the mouse around, but I can’t click or input any text until I reboot the machine. It’s not a specific app that’s doing it either—it’ll do it from…
