- World rejoices as Photoshop Express for iPad is fixed
Well, that didn't take too long. After a rather horrible debut Friday Adobe has fixed Photoshop Express so it can now open in the landscape mode.
How exactly was this app tested by Adobe and Apple? You'd think since most photo editing is done in the landscape orientation it would have been operated that way. I'd expect that kind of bug to be discovered immediately. Since Adobe is a premier graphics company you'd also think they would choose a logo for the product that doesn't resemble a roll of toilet paper.
Anyway, the app now works properly and it's free. You can crop, sharpen, blur, make frames and do other basic adjustments and send your edited pix to Photoshop.com or to Facebook.
The app also works on an iPhone and an iPod touch. Have at it, and unlike the iPhone 4 antenna, you can hold your iPad anyway you want.TUAWWorld rejoices as Photoshop Express for iPad is fixed originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Sat, 14 Aug 2010 23:00:00 EST.

Переслать - PGA Championship app pushes latest scores, includes buy-up live video
The set overlap between "iPhone owners" and "fans of professional golf" isn't trivial, so it's worth mentioning that the free app for the 92nd PGA Championship is available in the App Store. You can follow along with the action at Whistling Straits this weekend in glorious Retina Display detail, and with a $1.99 in-app purchase you can get live video of marquee players through their entire rounds, or see the entire field play the course's par 3 holes. Of course, live coverage is also available at pga.com or on television.
Even without chipping in for the live streaming, there's plenty of video in the app: highlights, course overviews and instructional clips are all included gratis. The app includes customizable push notifications, so you can keep abreast of the latest news or zero in on particular players, round schedules or exceptional events (double bogeys, birdies/eagles, etc.).
If you like the PGA Championship app, there's more around the corner; the 2010 Ryder Cup App will be in the store in September.
Check out the gallery below for more views of the app.TUAWPGA Championship app pushes latest scores, includes buy-up live video originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Sat, 14 Aug 2010 20:15:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Переслать - The iPad as an art gallery tour guide on Celebrity CruisesAs a bona fide fan of cruise ships and iPads, I was happy to see a short note from CruiseInd.com today outlining what Celebrity Cruises is doing with the iPad on their Solstice Class ships.
Starting tomorrow (August 15th), iPads will be available on the Celebrity Solstice, and the sister ships Eclipse and Equinox will see a group of iPads on board starting August 21st. Guests can launch a custom app to be able to view the collection of art on their particular ship. The Solstice class ships currently in service, Solstice, Equinox, and Eclipse, have a total of 14,000 original contemporary art works between them that decorate the various decks. Deck plans are displayed on the iPad, and guest can touch artworks represented on the plans to see the exact location, title, artist's name, medium, a description, and an image of the work.
This isn't the first time that iPads have been used on Celebrity's ships -- the cruise line uses the devices to display the menu and wine list at the Qsine specialty restaurant on the Celebrity Eclipse. Celebrity also features the Mac-centric iLearn program on the Celebrity Solstice, Equinox, and Summit, a series of classes that mimic the One-to-One experience available in Apple retail stores.
It's refreshing to see Celebrity embracing Apple technology on their ships, as most other cruise ships seem to feature old PCs running Windows XP in their Internet lounges.TUAWThe iPad as an art gallery tour guide on Celebrity Cruises originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Sat, 14 Aug 2010 19:00:00 EST.

Переслать - Apple's discussions site redirected for some
Reports are coming in that people visiting http://discussions.apple.com have been seeing the cryptic message "for fun, by tojen" rather than the index of discussion forums they were expecting.
We've managed to reproduce this here at TUAW, but only haphazardly. I saw it earlier in Safari under OS X, but since clearing my cache I cannot reproduce it. Firefox doesn't do it, but lynx (a command line browser) on my Linux server does. Steve Sande has seen it under Safari but not on his iPad. Other people have reported seeing it on their iPhones.
This mixture of affected devices and operating systems that show the message suggest it is neither an OS X nor a Safari hack of any kind. If you have seen it, your computer has not been compromised. Rather, it's something server-side; either on Apple's servers themselves, within the Akamai caching network (this would be my guess based on some quick tests), or some sort of DNS hijack.
For the time being I'd suggest being cautious and steering clear of discussions.apple.com. However, don't panic. If this was a hack aimed at stealing your accounts then it wouldn't put up the message at all, it would show you the normal page and sit quietly in the background accumulating data.
Nevertheless if you've seen this message and are worrying about the implications, you should consider changing your iTunes account password, if only for peace of mind. It is just about possible that your session cookie will have been intercepted by "tojen" for nefarious purposes and changing your password will protect you against that.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in.
Update: the whole discussion forum is now closed, replaced with the cheerful "we'll be back soon" sticky note normally reserved for the Apple Store. Presumably a number of system administrators just had their Saturday evening plans cancelled. (Thanks to commenters snoanim and John for pointing this out.)TUAWApple's discussions site redirected for some originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Sat, 14 Aug 2010 15:55:00 EST.

Переслать - Dragon Search now available for medical professionals
Here's something that will be welcomed by the health community. Nuance Communications has released a free, medical version of Dragon Search called Dragon Medical that lets mobile physicians and other health workers search a variety of medical publications on their iPhone or iPad by just speaking search phrases.
Information on drug interactions, latest medical news and diagnoses are available from the app, as well as a search though Google.
The original Dragon Search allows general information lookup using several search engines. Nuance is now moving toward more specialized apps for professionals.
The app is free for a limited time, and Nuance intends to bring out more apps for health workers, including a version of Dragon Dictation so patient notes and other information can be turned into text and saved.
You can watch a video of the app in action here.

Переслать - Apple manager held on kickback charges
The Mercury News is reporting that Sunnyvale, CA resident Paul Shin Devine, a 37-year-old Apple manager in global supply, has been arrested and charged with accepting kickbacks from Asian suppliers. In return, he provided confidential information that allowed these suppliers to negotiate more advantageous contracts with Apple.
Devine, and his alleged co-conspirator Andrew Ang of Singapore, have been indicted by a federal grand jury on 23 counts including wire fraud, money laundering and other charges. Devine is being held by the US Marshals Service.
Apple's statement on the matter comes from PR lead Steve Dowling: "Apple is committed to the highest ethical standards in the way we do business... We have zero tolerance for dishonest behavior inside or outside the company."
Devine is alleged to have collected over $1 million in funds from various suppliers in China, Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea during the scheme; the companies involved have not yet been named publicly. Devine opened bank accounts in several countries in his wife's name to disguise the bribes.

Переслать - League of Legends for Mac still expected this fallYou might remember that, back in early June, I met with the guys from Riot Games to play the Mac version of their free-to-play, DotA title, League of Legends. At the time, they said that they expected to release the title on our platform sometime "later this year," after they'd finished up their work with the big Season One update. Now, however, Season One has been out for a little while, and our readers are getting a little antsy -- where's LoL for the Mac?
Riot tells us that it's still coming. The game did get delayed longer than expected, but in an official statement, we're told that they "are putting some final touches on the Mac product and expect to ship by this fall." Season One was the priority, even while we were being shown the preview for the Mac version, but "now that it's out," Riot says, "we can focus on finalizing the Mac client and other upcoming features."
That sounds good. Since I first played the game for that preview, I've become a big fan; it's a quality version of the Defense of the Ancients mod for Warcraft III, and the fact that it's free to play on the PC (or in Bootcamp, if you can't wait any longer) is just icing on the cake. We'll keep an eye out for the Mac release and let you know when it's ready.TUAWLeague of Legends for Mac still expected this fall originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Fri, 13 Aug 2010 10:00:00 EST.
