- App Store Deal of the Week: Effector
Nearly two months ago, we penned the sad news that Air-O-Matic’s “Pull My Finger” application was denied from entry to the App Store. Pull My Finger (if you couldn’t guess) was a fart noise machine for iPhone. It was one of those times in life when I realized I couldn’t have what I didn’t know I needed. Good news, fellow immature fart joke aficionados! Effector is in the App Store, and will fill that void in your life.
Effector is a sound machine. It comes loaded with noises like a machine gun, or car horn, or applause — you get the idea. It has a slider allowing you to play the sounds in a delayed loop. While it’s pretty basic on the surface, Effector has some neat tricks up its sleeve.

Переслать - Glossy Borders and Submarines: A Couple of MacBook Observations
I’ve now had my new MacBook for two days, and the expectations of what I’d hoped or suspected the machine to be have been true. It really is sweet and, along with the PowerBook 170 and the PowerBook 12″ G4, may be the best overall portable Apple has ever made.

As we say goodbye to the humble Mac Mini and consider giving a warm welcome to a fresh selection of iMacs, another week draws to a close. In the meantime, a handful of apps have emerged from incubation, so it’s time for The Apple Blog to examine these new arrivals and see if we can identify some potential.
This time we’re running a warm stethoscope over rRootage, Discover, Papaya and social networking tool BrightKite.
rRootage (free): Designed by Japanese shoot-em-up designer extraordinaire Kenta Cho, rRootage is a frenetic and unforgiving space blaster. This is hardcore blasting rendered in hyper-stylised vector form, each level an ever-more intricate series of bullet-dodging space battles against gigantic alien motherships. Those who decide to delve in to the kinetic joys of rRootage will need to check out the instructions first, before taking on the bullet barrage.
