2012-04-10T03:49:00.001-07:00

Hey! well this is my new post after so long so hope u like it .

Not all devices with an apple on the case, there are accessories. For example, they do not exist for the Magic Mouse , or for the Magic Trackpad , or for the power adapter MagSafe on any MacBook ... Stop. For the latest accessory is . Or at least, will be - if this Kickstarter-project does not fail.

What's wrong with the standard adapter? Two things.First, gum, hides the connector cable is thin, not too resistant to excesses:

Second, if you use a long cord instead of a fork, then the "cheat" on the adapter it is somewhat problematic, because not have the required attachments:

The Special Case Wrap Up on startup thinklabs solves both problems. A thin cable is a solid plastic protection:

As long power cord, then it, thanks to design features, which now has a place:

Among other things, on the side of the Wrap Up can find two mounting - for thick and thin cables, respectively (for the sake of justice - a thin and can be mounted through a standard plastic clip):

Wrap Up in handy for those who do not have the time of the MacBook on battery power, and who are forced to wear an adapter with you. The minimum donation for accessory - $ 20, the target amount - $ 60,000, collected - just over 4 thousand for 25 days prior to the end. However, in the media about the project came just now, so who knows ...

[App Store + HD] Living Earth HD

2011-10-16T05:33:00.000-07:00

hey guyz,
I recently saw this website and thought that you goyz might like it too.Its AMAZING

Type of software : Multi-function application developer / publisher : Moshen Chan Version : 1.30 Price : $ 1.99 → $ 0.99 [iTunes link]
Where not only meet the image of our planet. Land emblazoned on the covers of magazines, appears frequently in films, read on satellite images, etc. The simplicity of its shape (think of it, ellipsoid) with unfathomable complexity of the structure attracts millions of people. How about to watch the globe in real time?

Living Earth HD - this application is "all-in-one" interactive screensaver which serves as an image of the Earth. Earth is not static, as in Google Earth, but real .Realism is created by two things:
• First, there is lit and the dark side of the globe, and their boundaries, "crawling" in real time. Entourage - generally appropriate. On the dark side is almost not visible clouds, but the big cities can be seen very well. With what problems the designers, so this is a "glow" of these same cities. It is necessary to bring the pinch-zoom, as the picture becomes bleak.
• Second, the cloud. You do not think that the Living Earth draws them randomly?Maps of clouds loaded with satellite every 3 hours, then the program carefully "puts" them on your globe.

Having admired the beauty of the earth, let's functionality. Here you will find as many as three main functions: world clock, alarm clock and weather. As a signal for the latter you can put any song from the iPod, which is an advantage. The weather, in turn, sufficiently detailed. Optionally, you can turn the search times of sunrise and sunset, and also change the units of measurement.

The three above-mentioned functions, developers have added no accident. Living Earth is focused primarily on the owners of iPad, among the standard applications that no Clock or Weather. On the users' iPhone, they can bring a little more than a rich set of options than in the standard package iOS.
At the time of writing a program to distribute 50 percent discount - for a dollar. Sin is not for sale.

iLife '09 «postponed" until October 20. We are waiting for an update?

2010-10-19T13:55:00.000-07:00

Delivery of all, without exception, computers Apple, expected in the first half of this week, a few hours ago, moved two days ahead.The explanation for this strange move kupertinovtsev find difficult. It should only take a look at a page of a major international online store

The German division of Amazon.com has changed the content pages of a multimedia package of iLife '09.The software, previously disappeared from the virtual store shelves, will be available on Wednesday, October 20. That is, after the conference, Apple "Back To the Mac" .A similar delay - at BestBuy:

Appears at first glance, a logical question.If the update does happen on October 20, then why iLife '09 postponed, but not removed from the market? Most likely, Amazon and BestBuy act preemptively, not having accurate information from the hands of insiders in Cupertino.If Wednesday iLife '11 will be on sale, the remnants of iLife '09 should hold it in stock, to avoid possible confusion or dissatisfaction of buyers.Maybe Page iLife '09 is generally used as the blueprint for the next version.

Here comes into play delay shipments of computers Apple, which we reported at the beginning. Explained it very simply: the delivery of new Mac is suspended, so the new owners got them with the latest version of the preinstalled software.I mean, with iLife '11 . "Bingo" or not, find out tomorrow at nine in the evening in Moscow.

Google searches from the iPhone prevail over Yahoo and Bing

2010-10-19T13:30:00.000-07:00

In its latest research report analyst firm Chitika published data on distribution of shares between the iPhone search engines Google, Yahoo and Bing . .

With much far ahead Google, accounting for 96.96% of all search queries that users do iOS from their gadgets. Apparently, those 200 million dollars, which pay Brin and Page in the first place (by default) settings in iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, play the role of the locomotive.

Following Google follows Yahoo with its 2.25% and Bing from Microsoft can voosche calculate the arithmetic mean of the error - it accounts for 0.58%.

A breakdown of traffic to Google is as follows.

49.08% go to the toolbar mobile Safari;
42.24% is the start page Google. It is a curious point, because users somehow chosen to begin each new day with Google, although at this point could be Yahoo and Bing. In other words, this protsentazh does not depend on the contract between the two giants.
8.68% generates mobile application to Google App.

It is a pity that there is no statistics on Yandex. After all, someone has the same uses and them too.

[App Store + HD] We City: as a "farm", only in the city

2010-10-18T05:15:00.000-07:00

In the App Store, there are several unique specimens of its kind social games.They are all made of the same company, and they attract the biggest crowds of players among similar projects.This, of course, is a series «We ...» from renowned developers of ngmoco.
The presence of all three projects in this series on iDevayse may deprive many of us sleep and seriously detract from the important things.Today in our "guests" - the most recent and technically advanced edition in a new setting . .

We ran a medieval kingdom , his own farm , and now in our hands got an imaginary city. From the first seconds we begin to literally build their future. At this time ngmoco logical to abandon the system "crop" in the beds, dividing it into two components: the factory and research.
At first glance, the factory represent a same patch, only in profile. In principle, it is.As always, the player has a choice: every 5 minutes to shoot with them for "a penny" or do it once a day, but a large amount.

The developers have not changed the principles of the previous parts, and therefore the game on all moving those calls at the application more often than others. Collect "on the penny" more advantageous for success in the application, but a detrimental effect on the success and free time in real life.

Second, and partly a new system - the research. Among the buildings there is a separate category of buildings intended for use by developing some sort of "unique" public institutions, which are available in finished form is impossible. It looks as follows: in one of these buildings we order "Survey", for example, in the field of jurisprudence. At the proper level of attention to this study in our use will be given a court building, from which we will make a profit in its virtual pocket.

As always, the whole gameplay is tied to the accumulation of money and passing the development of yield territory belonging to us. The social part is the ability to look another "visit" and ordered him any service, received after a certain time and expertise, and money. Of course, most of that friend will not become worse, just the opposite - exactly twice as better or more profitable.

Finally ngmoco worked on the technical part of the application - it now works correctly in the background on iOS 4.X. Developers originally taken care of the owners iDevaysov with displays Retina.

Performance for all devices is kept at approximately the same level and only at later stages toy little slow when displaying densely built-up areas - but only for past generations glands.
We City does not recommend only if you are hypersensitive to this genre as a whole. For everyone else we recommend at least try to create a successful town.Especially because the App Store this toy is worth nothing:
