Google embiggens iPhone services with single-screen UI
Filed under: iPod Family, iPhone

I've been checking my dictionary, but it's hard to find an adequately cromulent word to describe the dramatic ~~enbiggening~~ embiggening of Google's iPhone-specific services. The big G now offers single-screen access to Gmail, Calendar, and Reader among other services, as well as the homerific Search capability, when accessed on iPhones and iPod touches. Rather than introubulating their service, this screen redesign applies a debigulator to the overall Google experience and allows you to use many of the most belovedest features directly from a single screen.

TUAW Buyers Guide: Spend that $100 iPhone credit
Filed under: Accessories, Analysis / Opinion, Features, Deals, Holidays
You might recall that Apple issued $100 store credits to iPhone early adopters. While the deadline for getting your $100 store credit has passed, the credit itself never expires (sweet). Why not use that 'free' money to buy friends or family a lovely gift from the Apple store? We've compiled a few suggestions to get you started.

Please note that all of the product links in this post point to the online Apple store, since that is where you can use your credit. These items might be found cheaper elsewhere.

Back to My Mac not working? Apple knows.
Filed under: OS, Leopard

Back to My Mac is one of those 'wow' features of Leopard. It lets you connect, securely, to a remote Mac (running Leopard) and access files and control it from any other internet-connected Mac (which also has to be running Leopard). At least, that's what it is supposed to do. Many people, including scores of TUAW readers, are finding that Back to My Mac is fickle at best. It seems flummoxed by most router setups, and some people without complicated home networks are finding Back to My Mac performance spotty at best.

TidBits reports that Apple is aware of the problem (we should hope so!) and is working on it. Apple even responded to someone who reported a problem to assure them that a fix is in the works and should be available in the coming weeks.

As Glenn Fleishman points out, Apple usually doesn't admit to this kind of thing. Is this the dawn of a new, open era in Apple's dealings with customers? I doubt it, but I sure hope so. Either way, Back To My Mac users, or people who would like to use Back To My Mac, should expect a more pleasant experience in a few weeks.

Google Mac Developer Playground
Filed under: Software, Odds and ends
Google has announced the opening of their new Google Mac Developer Playground. This is basically just a Google Code site that collects together a variety of the Mac related projects that Google's Mac team works on during their so-called 20% time, the time that Google gives their engineers to play around with the things they really want to work on. The Playground will be a gathering place for these different projects, like Amit Singh's brilliant MacFUSE and others, including the just released Statz that lets you automatically update your status across a variety of chat clients.
