MacBook

iPod Shuffle Would Look Great with New Touchscreen

by Jay Garrett on July 11, 2010

Now, this little touchscreen has been hinted at being a new interface for a Mac – possibly for the MacBook Pro.

Thing is, at 3 x 3cm I reckon they could and should go bigger for a laptop touch interface.

The other idea that has been going round the interweblogosphere is that it would be the ideal upgrade for the iPod Shuffle.

The pic above does make the idea quite adorable – but the thing is that would this take the Shuffle over what you’d be happy to pay for it?

iPad Now Runs Flash and Photoshop – Air Display

by Jay Garrett on June 29, 2010

Before you start dancing around laughing at your effigy of Steve Jobs – the reason why the iPad manages the feats mentioned above as well as running Firefox, etc is thanks to Air Display.

This natty app lets you use your iPad, or iPhone for that matter, as an extra monitor for your Mac.

Once you have the app on your handheld and the software on your Mac just hook everything to the same Wi-Fi and then you can shove things off your monitor or laptop screen onto your iPad or iPhone.

You will then be magically able to use the Mac’s keyboard or mouse to control what’s going on on the iPad screen, or the smaller Apple’s touchscreen to control Firefox, Photoshop or a bit of Flash gaming!

Once you’re past the idea of running Flash and the like on your iPhone and iPad Air Display is actually useful.

As well as offering a little more screen space you can carry what you’re working on into the next room or wherever to show someone (as long as still attached to the same Wi-Fi as your Mac) or to watch when waiting for the kettle to boil.

This very cool app costs £6 from the App Store.

Woohoooo!! The new Mac Mini is thinner and lighter than ever before and follows the aluminium ‘unibody’ Apple trend set by the MacBook Air. To be honest that’s the exiting bit. It is thinner but because it’s been flattened – The Mac Mini measures 197mm by 197mm as opposed to 165mm by 165mm. The good [...]

I never went to Uni and sometimes I regret it – but then I’ve never had the joy of student debt and never worked in McDonalds I did go to school (oh yes I did!) and I do recall those papery things that I’d back with offcuts of wallpaper…… textbooks: that’s what they were called. [...]

Do you smoke and surf? Better rethink that my gadgety friends as Apple has voided warranties and refused to carry out repairs on computers exposed to cigarette smoke. True. Reports on US consumer issues site, The Consumerist, claim Apple voided a Macbook warranty because it was “contaminated” by cigarette smoke. The case follows a similar [...]

Thumbnail image for Apple Portable Device ‘Confirmed’ and 3 New iPhones – More Rumours

There’s plenty-many words going around the interweblogosphere that state firmly that an Apple “portable device” is in the pipe-line. According to new sources we could be looking at an Apple Tablet or iPod Touch Pro and not a MacBook nano. The Apple Netbook rumours have gone a little cold of late and the iPhone ones [...]

Now, perhaps the fact that we’re dangerously close to April Fools Day or that I’m preparing myself for the increase of Apple flavoured rumours as we get closer to this year’s WWDC – I’m treating this as a ‘perhaps/maybe/rumour’. I know that there has been rumblings about an Apple Netbook – but that was bolstered by the order [...]

The Dell Adamo, the much hyped but super secret squirrel MacBook Air taunter from Dell has increased the tease-o-meter by releasing a slinky video. The video is kinda like Immodesty Blaize’s reverse strip-tease. The new teaser shows the Dell Adamo size zero lappy being put together. It gives the unlikely impression that it hovers and [...]

iPhone 4G – Could Be Like This?

Perhaps there’s no need for a MacBook Nano. If this purty little thing became reality then everything would fall into place. The iPhone 2.1 could be the iPhone 4G It looks funky, granted the corners could do with rounding off – but hey, a 32Gig iPhone with MacBook looks with these specs would be rather [...]

AT&T Pushing Apple For MacBook Nano 3G?

February 3, 2009 Click to read more →

Glenn Lurie, president of AT&T’s Emerging Devices division says that he’s loved to have a netbook with 3G. Fair enough. What makes this newsworthy in my mind is the fact that he’s gone and had a word with Apple’s current CEO, Tim Cook. Could this partnership birth a MacBook 3G or even the MacBook nano? [...]

Sorry – this MacBook Nano has probably never seen an Apple let alone Cupertino! Whether this is a little custom hack or there’s someone is making a living churning these funked MSI U100 types out from a lock-up “sarf of the river” I have no idea. But these shiny-but-fake Mini Mac’s do come complete with [...]
