- TUAW Review: Logitech Harmony remote and the Mac
Filed under: Peripherals, Software, Features, Reviews
I recently obtained a Logitech Harmony universal IR remote control, and while the Harmony series is not that new, I thought it would be worth taking a look at here on TUAW. I haven't seen that much about using the Harmony with Macs, so in the following review I'll go over setting up a Logitech Harmony with the included Mac software.

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Multimedia, Freeware
It would seem that the Mac OS X development spectrum is bursting with excellent freeware applications. TubeTV is one such freeware application that fills a void that many Mac-YouTube users have -- saving videos in a Mac compatible format for later viewing (there are some paid alternatives out there, such as Tubesock but TubeTV is free, and offers up some additional features).
TubeTV features a built-in web browser that allows you to surf over to your favorite video sharing websites. When you are viewing the video you want to download for later, just click the little download button in the toolbar. The video will begin downloading and then covert to your specified format on-the-fly. TubeTV uses the free Perian to convert the videos to either iPod, AppleTV, iPhone, or a standard phone format. When I used it, the software was spot-on. It downloaded the video very quickly and converted a 3 minute video to iPod format in well under a minute. The great thing about TubeTV is that you aren't limited to using only YouTube, you can use it with other flash-based video sites as well. I tried it with Viddler, and it worked as advertised. The video quality is also excellent.
TubeTV can be downloaded from the developers website for $0.00 in all currencies (however, donations are accepted).Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Freeware
An increasing number of people are storing their whole digital lives online through services like YouTube, Flickr and .Mac. For those Mac users that use Flickr and want to move their photos with a couple clicks in iPhoto, there are a few options including Flickr Uploadr and FlickrExport. Well, here comes a new member to the group of iPhoto-Flickr plug-ins -- Free Flickr eXporter (or FFXporter).
This plug-in, like many of the others, allows you to upload photos from your iPhoto library with a couple clicks. You can also add them to different sets or create a new set right from the export window, set the privacy levels, and resize the picture to your specifications. The only thing that you cannot do from the plug-in is add a description to the photo; however, once the picture(s) are uploaded, it takes you to a Flickr page to fill in this information. Overall, this is an excellent iPhoto to Flickr plug-in if you don't want a paid plug-in.
FFXporter is available as a free download from the developers website.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Video, Freeware, Leopard
I've been looking for something like this since Leopard was released. As you can see from the video above, Juius Eckert (whose Showcase Quicksilver interface we covered previously) has now released a Bezel HUD interface for Quicksilver that perfectly integrates with Leopard. It basically has the same functionality as the built-in Bezel interface but with the Quick Look style HUD characteristic of Leopard. If you've been wanting to give Quicksilver a Leopard facelift this is it.

Filed under: Apple Corporate, Apple
Our sibling site, Engadget, is reporting that Apple has apparently applied for trademark protection on a gaming device. The trademark in question would protect the word "APPLE" under the following circumstances: "toys, games and playthings, namely, hand-held units for playing electronic games; hand-held units for playing video games; stand alone video game machines; electronic games other than those adapted for use with television receivers only; LCD game machines; electronic educational game machines; toys, namely battery-powered computer games."
Engadget also reminds us about Apple's recent patent filing of a touch gaming device. Could this mean that Apple is working on Pippin 2.0? Time can only tell. However, I wouldn't hold my breath, since Apple often randomly trademarks names and such.

http://www.tuaw.com/2008/02/10/apple-applies-for-gaming-trademark/#comments - C4[1] videos now being posted
Back in August famed Mac developer Jonathan "Wolf" Rentzsch organized the C4[1] conference for independent Mac developers in Chicago. The presenters included a veritable who's who of indie Mac developers and now Rentzsch is getting around to posting videos of the presentations for those of us who weren't fortunate enough to attend in person.
Apparently it takes a considerable amount of time to process the video, so he's only posting one per week for the next several weeks. Nonetheless, he already has his own introductory video as well as one by Wil Shipley (of Delicious Library) on marketing hype. As you can see from the original schedule, future videos will include presentations from a bunch of TUAW's favorite devs.
So, if you're interested in the Mac indie development scene you'll want to keep an eye on Rentzsch's video page over the next few weeks.Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:
http://www.tuaw.com/2008/02/10/c4-1-videos-being-posted/#comments - Software-only unlock for the current iPhone firmware announced
As many have you have emailed to tell us (thanks everyone), hacker teen wonder George Hotz a.k.a. GeoHot, of the hardware iPhone unlock heard 'round the world, has apparently made something unexpected: a software-only unlocking procedure for the iPhone's 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 firmware versions. With George's tools in hand (freely downloadable from his website), iPhone owners in non-supported countries should now be able to work their way up to the current release, wiggly icons and all.
It's worth noting, as Endgadget has already mentioned, that you unlock your phone entirely at your own risk; never mind the fact that a future update may brick you (although we hope not!). If the procedure seems daunting -- it involves downgrading to the 1.02 firmware to start -- blogger Pinky's Brain is working on a walkthrough that should simplify things (link via Apple 2.0). The ModMyiPhone boards also indicate that a version of the unlock, runnable on a 1.1.1 jailbroken phone, is packaged and in the repository there.
Is it worth diving into a new unlock tug-of-war with the official SDK (and, presumably, more exploits closed off with updates) in the near future? Guess that depends on how much you like having your iPhone working in the remote corners of the globe.Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: TUAW Business, Podcasts
If you haven't tuned in yet for last week's talkcast, go check it out -- it's been up for a few days now, but the higher-quality version got lost on the way to TalkShoe's servers and I just got it re-uploaded. You can hear Mike Schramm and me talk football, MacBook Airs, and (with listener Tony Walla) discuss the prospects for WiMax on future Mac laptops. Download direct, or subscribe to the TalkShoe feed in iTunes. We are hoping to get the main iTunes feed back up and running shortly, just in time for some tasty screencasts now in the early stages of production.
Join us again on Sunday night for our next live show, 10 pm ET as usual. We'll be joined by a very special guest: Tod Maffin, technology columnist for the CBC. Tod is a Mac user, so we'll be quizzing him both on his general view of Apple and specifically on the company's prospects north of the border (assuming there's ever a Canadian iPhone!). Should be a fun show, so mark your calendars. Update: We're going to try something a little crazy -- simulcasting in video at Yahoo! Live. Swing by http://live.yahoo.com/tuaw before the show and see the insanity in progress.Continue reading Talkcast is back Sunday 10pm ET with special guest Tod Maffin
