- Save on iPods or Mac gear: 20% cash back from PayPal for some sites
Filed under: Deals
Happy Cyber Monday! Lots of online retailers are offering up discounts today and tomorrow, but if you use PayPal, you have the opportunity to save even more. At select merchants (see the entire list and details here), you can get 20% cash back if you pay with PayPal (the ceiling is at $50 for cash back per PayPal account, so maximum purchase price of $250 for the full discount), starting today. Some merchants are running the sale longer than others, so check the individual sites for details.
What does this have to do with Apple and Mac users? Well, although the Apple Store is not a selected merchant (it doesn't take PayPal, but it is offering free shipping today), lots of stores that sell Mac products or accessories are on the list. NewEgg.com carries Macs, iPods, software, RAM and accessories; 20% off on a $200 iPod Nano, with free shipping and a free holster, is an unbeatable discount. eBags.com has a great selection of laptop bags (the 20% PayPal cash back is enough for me to bite the bullet and order the Tumi messenger I've been eying for ages). BarnesandNoble.com has lots of great books about Apple and Apple products and Overstock.com often has great deals on older Apple products and on iPod accessories.
If you use PayPal and have been waiting for some deals for gifts for yourself or others, right now might just be the time to start shopping.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Software, Stocking Stuffers
Not quite done with that holiday shopping? A little birdie tipped us to the upcoming "Give Good Food to your Mac" promotion, officially opening tomorrow -- if you're already a customer of one of the participants, you might get a preview link in the mail today. A ragtag band of European developers has put together this bundle discount: buy any 3 applications from the list, get 30% off your total, and scaling up from there (5 apps = 40%, 7 apps = 50%, 10 apps = 70% discount). Could add up to substantial savings, especially if you're paying in weak greenbacks like us Yanks must.
The list of available programs (full rundown in the bottom of the post) includes such heavy hitters as web authoring app RapidWeaver, bitmap diva Pixelmator and project management tool Merlin, among lighter fare such as iStopMotion, CoverScout and Expert Wine Cellar. While you're waiting for the annual MacSanta discounts to fire up, go ahead and check out GGFTYM.Continue reading Give Good Food to Your Mac promo discounts Euro-indie apps

Filed under: Software
The release build of Parallels Desktop 3 still isn't quite Leopard-happy, but that's not cause for abject despair: the second beta since 10.5 came out was released on Saturday, with enhanced support for Leopard, improved migration tools for Boot Camp partitions into Parallels disk images, and more.
You can download the 88 MB file of build 5570 from Parallels, but the usual warnings apply: back up your virtual machines before running with the wolves.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: iPhone
Reader Guglielmo sent word that the first four French iPhone ads hit the airwaves today (also viewable at apple.com/fr in a wide selection of resolutions). The ads end with the tag screen of a November 29th on-sale date for the French model.
Unfortunately I don't speak French, so I can't comment on the ad scripts, but as far as I can tell they hew fairly close to the original US versions, subbing in Le Monde for the NY Times and other culturally appropriate substiutions. I do think that "un pâle imitation d'internet" is a pretty awesome phrase, though. You can compare the German and UK ads at their respective pages.
Thanks GuglielmoRead | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Podcasting
Well, as you might have guessed, we're all turkey'ed out here at TUAW headquarters (located in scenic Hendersonville, NC) and as a result there won't be a talkcast this week -- sorry! Join us next Sunday night (12/2) at our normal 10pm ET timeslot.
Meanwhile, we're surveying the team here for favorite Mac and iPod/iPhone podcasts, and we've got a short list going; if you have must-listen or must-watch Mac podcasts, let us know so we can check them out. Also, a quick plug for our own Christina Warren in her costarring role on the Squadcast, the video podcast from Download Squad -- highly entertaining.
Our picks for podcasts + those suggested by your comments:
- Shawn King's Your Mac Life, inexplicably left off the original list. If Adam Curry is the Podfather, then Shawn is certainly some sort of capo.
- Mac Attack!
- the Maccast
- Typical Mac User Podcast (TMUP) -- Victor and I are trying to schedule a cohosted show for early December, more on that as it develops.
- Talk Show -- Gruber and Benjamin are the Harold and Kumar of podcasting.
- Retro Mac Cast, featuring vintage Mac discussion.
- MacBreak Weekly -- Leo Laporte's star-studded show, with occasional special guests.
- MacBreak Tech, the geekier side.
- Mac OS Ken, suggested by Carlos. Mac news with attitude -- sounds like our kind of show.
- Mac Geek Gab -- John & Dave lean more technical than most shows.
- MacDevNet -- both Late Night Cocoa and the Mac Dev Roundtable are great for developers and would-be developers.
- Apple Phone Show -- MacBreak's Scott Bourne on the iPhone.
- ScreenCastsOnline -- though there's a paid version that's well worth it, the free instructional screencasts are also a treat.
