Apps of the Month: Best iPhone Apps of October 2009
Posted on November 2, 2009 | No Comments
100,000. That's the number of iPhone apps that have been approved to be sold on Apple's App Store. So how the hell do you decide which ones to buy? Well, you could surf through the App Store's featured list, but that means you're only buying the ones Apple wants you to buy. Or, you could scour through the App Store's Genius recommendations - which are still not perfect in my opinion. To help you with this problem, we're going to create a "best of" list of the iPhone apps we enjoyed the most each month.

Update: Downgrading to 2.4 is the best way to get back Boxee and XMBC back on your Apple TV
Posted on October 31, 2009 | No Comments
To repeat, do not upgrade your Apple TV to 3.0 if you're running hacked ATV plugins like XBox Media Center or Boxee. I'm sure this will be fixed in a matter of days - if not hours - but as of right now it means a ride on the Failboat to Sad Trombone Town. That's right: this update destroys the only thing that makes Apple TV usable and good.
Also, as an added bonus, Apple TV firmware 3.0 is insignificant. It adds Internet radio to the package and improves the UI. It also adds Genius playlists. My cup, as they say, runneth over.
UPDATE - Post has been update with instructions for downgrading to firmware 2.4.

Apple will support Windows 7 in Boot Camp by the end of the year
Posted on October 22, 2009 | No Comments
Mac users will need to wait a little longer until Apple officially supports Windows 7 through Boot Camp. A support document published today indicates that Apple Genius will be able to help you sometime before the end of the year. No worries though, many, including our own Nicholas, have already found out that even beta versions of Windows 7 currently run fine through Boot Camp. If you run in to a snag, a bit of Google'n or a local 13-year old can probably resolve your problem.

Man threatens to shoot his iPhone in the middle of the Apple Store
Posted on October 2, 2009 | No Comments
Okay, everyone. Time for a pop quiz! Lets say your iPhone is totally ruining your day. Maybe the battery is flaking out; maybe you dumped a gallon of soda on it just to see what would happen. Regardless, you pop into the Apple Store to try and get things worked out. Now, what would you do next?
Do you:
A) Calmly ask for assistance, spend some time at the Genius Bar, and most likely walk away with your questions answered?
B) Skip over those smug Genius Bar dudes, and go straight to a manager?
C) Threaten to shoot your iPhone, and show the 9mm you have concealed?
