  • Apple ticks off 3rd-party developers (as usual)

    I haven’t agreed with a lot of what John Gruber has been posting lately, but I do agree with this point he makes. He points to Steven Frank’s post about not getting access to the Gold Master (final version) release of OS X Leopard before the general public. It’s pretty bad when developers are contemplating pirating your OS just to get their next release out the door on time.

    What’s really annoying is that they give it to Pogue and Mossberg, but not even their key (award-winning) developers. Pogue could be brutally beaten to within an inch of his life by Steve Jobs personally, and Pogue would still sing the praises (he sure drank the iPhone Kool-aid), but Steven Frank is some true talent that Apple could potentially lose (along with many other developers), and it might be hard to win them back. Sure, marketing for your new flagship OS product is important, but if you don’t have any new/updated 3rd-party software to join in the celebration on launch day (or happy developers to keep creating new products for it), what good will it do you? Apple has been known to stab developers in the back before, but if they don’t stop, it will cause them problems in the future.

  • Review: B-Flex 2 USB Speaker

    JLab Audio carries a handful of products centered around audio - iPod Nano speakers, earbuds, iPod/iPhone cases, and USB speakers. I’ve had the opportunity to tinker with the latter of their offerings - the B-Flex 2 Hi-Fi Stereo USB Speaker. Now that’s a bit of a mouthful, so we’ll just call it the B-Flex 2 for our review purposes here.
    maxell blown away
    The B-Flex 2 is small, dual set of speakers (with dual, Hi-Fi drivers) that fit in the palm of your hand. The speakers (housed in a single shell) are mounted on about a 6 inch flexible ‘cord’ with a USB plug at the end. At first glance, the design is slightly odd, and the size of the speakers made me wonder exactly what the point of adding these to my MacBook really was. (Or in Josh’s keen observation, “They’re small speakers for computers with small speakers.” Well said Josh!)

  • Leopard-print T-shirts?

    When Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) arrives on Friday, Apple retail stores will be open extended hours from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m., with live demonstrations and Geniuses on hand to answer your Leopard questions. Also, the first 500 customers at each store will receive a free special edition Leopard T-shirt. But, contrary to the headline, it’s not leopard-print. I hope. (Via Apple.com retail hot news.)

  • Candy Bar 3 Features Preview

    CandyBar Some of you may or may not be aware that the founders of Panic Cabel and Steven F, both have their own personal blogs.

    Recently Cabel, while updating us all about the compatibility states of all of Panic’s apps with Leopard, let slip a few of the future features of the upcoming CandyBar 3.

    First the bad news: CandyBar 2, does not and will not launch in Leopard due to a “well designed security system”, however 3.0 is coming . CandyBar 2 will be discontinued after CandyBar 3 is released, which will be Leopard only.

    So what are some of these new features then?

    Well the big one is that 3.0 will allow customization of the Leopard dock. There is no clue as to what extent you can play around, but I would imagine it will be a great way to customize the appearance of your new Leopard desktop.

    Other future features include: support for Leopard’s new, enormous, 512px x 512px icon size and “significantly more robust icon restoration”.

    We can expect 3.0 to be with us before the end of November.

  • iPhone Elite Team release "Revirginizer"

    iPhone

    The “Revirginizer”, a new release from the iPhone Elite Team, will return your unlocked iPhone to its original 1.0.2 state. Therefore allowing the safe upgrade to the 1.1.1 firmware.

    Hopefully this means an end to the phone bricking that has plagued the few who ignored all advice and attempted to upgrade an unlocked iPhone.

    This process is designed to rebuild your lock table in the seczone area and repair the damage done by the original anySIM unlock. In essence, it re-virginizes your phone.

    The software can be found on the team’s Google Code page.

    Leopard Canada Shipping
    A TAB reader in Canada sent us this image of his order status for Leopard. His copy of Leopard was shipping this morning via Purolator Courier’s Express Overnight delivery, which should put Leopard in his hands possibly by tomorrow…a day early than expected.

    Has anyone else noticed if there pre-order of Leopard has shipped?
