WordCrasher on the Mac App Store Ahead of Mac OS X’s Lion’s official launch, Apple has begun approving apps that take advantage of the next-generation operating system into their Mac App Store.

Apple, of course, recommends that these apps are first tested against the Golden Master version of the operating system....

It’s the worst kind of fault, intermittent and prone to happen when we’re on a call or trying to download software. We’ve changed the router, even had engineers out to check the connection. Our ISP has changed our wholesale provider (as much as they can), the cabling provider has changed the cable we’re using and the port in the fiber cabinet, but nothing seems to work. SEE: Internet slow? Here are the possible reasons why and how to fix them All the various diagnostics seem to point to one thing: the aluminium cabling under the street put in sometime in the 1960s or 70s is reaching end of life....

The Guardian reports that Paul McCartney has released five of his classic albums as iPad apps, offering remastered audio tracks, videos, interviews, photos, and artwork from both albums and singles.

Before Epic Games’ battle with Apple over App Store rules, the new email service and iOS app HEY fought with the company about the same issues including in-app purchases. In a new report from The Verge today, ProtonMail’s CEO has come forward and shared his account of working with Apple over the last few years, comparing the company’s business practices to “Mafia extortion.” Along with all the criticism that Apple has seen around its App Store practices has been a theme that it inconsistently enforces its App Store rules, leading to unfair treatment of developers....

They all share a common goal of ensuring the internet user anonymity while using the network. At least in this one respect, they are all look-alikes and therefore why most people find it difficult to differentiate them. In this article, we are going to take a look at three of them, their pros and cons and when to favor any of them against the rest. ​ What is a Proxy?...

If there’s one thing as certain as the hype when Apple launches a new iPhone, it’s the “Apple is doomed” messages when the new model(s) fail to meet every single analyst prediction, no matter how crazy. Apple could add a matter transporter function to the iPhone 6 and some analyst would be complaining that it only operates on WiFi when they were expecting it to use LTE. Business Insider pointed to a set of CNN charts which show that, typically, the AAPL stock price is down a month after a new iPhone launch....

Verizon subsidiary Oath has announced that Yahoo Messenger is officially shutting down next month.

Apple will report its own September quarter earnings on November 1st. Its guidance for its fiscal Q4 (calendar Q3) is for revenue between $60 and $62 billion.

As regular readers will know, it took a little while for the Apple Watch to really grow on me. But even back when I wasn’t convinced I needed a smartwatch, I still had to admire the design. And the Digital Crown was a large part of how Apple got the smartwatch right when others hadn’t yet cracked it. A fundamental problem with a small touchscreen is that touching it covers up much of the content....

It has a date — sort of. And it has a price — mostly. But less than three months before its release, the Apple Watch is still enigmatic in ways that the similarly pre-announced iPhone and iPad were not. Apple still hasn’t said more than one thing (“starting at $349”) about how the 34 different Watch models will be priced, and despite hiring a new team of sales executives from the fashion and watch worlds, no major changes are obvious at the Apple Stores where the watches will be sold....

From Lion’s Install notes: This is a pretty interesting addition to the OS. When you install Lion, it puts a little partition on the boot drive with some of the OS utilities. If something goes wrong with your Lion build, you restart with the option key pressed and you boot into this new partition. For me this worked a bit different. I installed Lion on a Firewire hard drive. The recovery partition was installed on my Snow Leopard internal disk(!...

First off, the beloved brush tool is included. Being a longtime Photoshop user, this is the first tool I looked for. What I was initially hoping for was a makeshift replacement for my Wacom tablet desktop setup. Unfortunately, even with pencil-sized fingers it’s near impossible to accurately draw on such a small touchscreen. I tried it out with a soft-stylus and it worked better, but it definitely won’t be replacing my normal setup anytime soon....

Pixelmator have released the latest version of their app today, version 3.1. As usual, it is available exclusively in the Mac App Store for $29.99.

The Pokemon Sword & Shield Nintendo Direct presentation unveiled a new line of Regi Legendary types, with the insinuation that they will be included in the game’s second paid DLC expansion, The Crown Tundra. For those unfamiliar, the Legendary titans were first introduced in Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire, where players first had to unlock tombs that held the Pokemon by solving a puzzle in the Sealed Chamber. The extra steps in finding and capturing the Pokemon made them extremely popular among fans, alongside the fact that they featured a design that was very different for Legendary Pokemon at the time....
