Gears comes to Safari

TUAW lets us know that Google Gears is now available for Safari. I’m not totally familiar with Gears, but this is a great development for Safari users (like myself). Despite a philosophical soft-spot for Firefox, I can’t stand to use it myself, so Gears for Firefox wasn’t really an option for me. [...]

Macworld’s Review of 2G iPod Touch

Macworld has published a short but thorough review of what’s new in the 2G iPod Touch. Somehow, I’ve managed to hold off buying an iTouch since they arrived (I’d love to have an iPhone, there’s no doubt. But I’m currently living in South Korea and travel too much of the world for an [...]

NetShare Banned from App Store

NetShare, the iPhone 3G tethering app, has now been completely banned on from the App store. I can understand why this might be the case – and why AT&T might be upset about such an app – but I think Apple really needs to get their act together about the app store. Who [...]

Remove genre when browsing, disable iTunes store links, play songs while converting or importing and load complete previews of songs before playing networked tracks. If you’re missing these preferences in the new iTunes, this article will set you up.

Disable iTunes store arrow links in iTunes 8

With the new iTunes 8 Apple has disabled the preference to remove iTunes store links from each and every song in your iTunes library. This is seriously annoying, insofar as I’m living in South Korea and these little arrows lead me to a blank page informing me that the iTunes music store is unavailable [...]

Bluetooth on iPod Touch

9 to 5 Mac points to this iFixit tear down of the new iPod Touch. The news: an onboard Bluetooth chip! It hasn’t bee mentioned by Apple, and it may only be fore the Nike+ running suite, but it sure makes me even more excited.

Three to Five Weeks for iTouch in Korea

Korea Apple lists a 3 to 5 week waiting period for the new iTouch! Ahh – I’ve waited this long, I can endure…
