Farewell PhoneSaber

andyp@idg.co.uk — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 18:00:00 GMT

No it's not a Jedi mind trick. PhoneSaber, the utterly useless and mildly amusing iPhone application, which does nothing more than make lightsaber noises when you wave your iPhone about, has been removed from the iTunes Store.

Keys to the world

When I saw the new iMac, I couldn't take my eyes off the new keyboard. Like some village simpleton, I was transfixed by a component that was far from the centre of attention. Despite the iMac's aluminium bells and whistles, I just wanted to have a go on the shiny buttons.

Going through the motions

We run group tests all the time at Macworld, but we haven't done one quite like Jason Kottke's most recent 'product' comparison.

Patently pointless?

When I heard Apple had filed an anti-theft patent for electronic devices, I was intrigued. How would it work?

Famous Mac fan, entry one

I was intrigued to read in the Independent this week that showbiz stalwart and all-round lady-charmer Donny Osmond is a massive Mac fan.

iPhone moan

andyp@idg.co.uk — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 18:05:00 GMT

I was intrigued to read a dissenting voice among the iPhone hysteria - it seems it's not a dead cert to be an unquestionable hit after all.

Out of fashion

Why do 53.2 per cent* of Macworld readers think the iMac is the Mac most in need of a redesign? I bought one a year ago! Am I out of fashion already?!

Scrap iScrapbook

I just read a review of iScrapbook (it'll be in the next issue of Macworld). I've had to cut the review down a bit, so I thought I'd tell you about the bits I cut out - namely, the reviewer pointing out that iScrapbook rather defeats the point of scrapbooking.

Mac for your iPod

I don't want to put a dampener on your weekend, especially as the sun has finally come out, but it's festival season. You'd be wise to pack your mac. As in waterproof coat - I'm not suggesting you lug your Mac Pro into the boot of you camper van alongside your tent, a 48-pack of Stella and a 12-pack of Immodium.

"PC's mother loves him!"

andyp@idg.co.uk — Thu, 31 May 2007 17:47:00 GMT

My favourite bit from last night's joint interview with Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. Reminds me of Jose Mourinho and Sir Alex Ferguson - they appear to be friends when they're both winning...

Hello, I'm Andy. I'm into fun stuff, you know, video, photos, music, that sort of thing. Oh hang on, I seem to have become Mitchell/Webb (which is which? No-one knows) enacting the virtues of Mac computing.
