Apple finally sent out invitations today for its next iPhone event, and everyone is wondering if we’ll see the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, or both. Many are starting to feel that there will be only one iPhone unveiled this year, but that remains to be seen. We have been seeing tons of purported iPhone 5 cases leaked from case manufacturers overseas. The reason? Apple hardware manufacturer Foxconn seems to have lost an iPhone 5 prototype. M.I.C.

Kosella think they have a slick new way to make stylus tips: Instead of using the rubbery tips of most styli, they’ve figured out a way to use a fabric tip that has tiny metal filaments woven into it in order to make it conductive. The new tips really are slick — Kosella sent us an Aponyo Click to play around with, and the fabric really does slide across an [Read More...]
And…. it’s official. Apple has just sent out invites to an October 4th event at their Cupertino, California campus, starting at 10am. There’s not much else to go on right now, short of the confirmation, but we all know what’s coming next Tuesday: the new iPhone, whether the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, or both. iDownloadBlog spots something cool: Interestingly, the image that they use on the invites may provide a [Read More...]
Readers continue to contact us with questions about their Macs and iDevices, so we’ve decided to run Ask MacRx more frequently during the week. Today we address one of the most common questions for a Mac consultant, why do I get that spinning beach ball all the time?

When you open it up, however, the file [Read More...]

Los Angeles-based TRTL BOT turned to Kickstarter for the latest project: A massive, multi-use iPad 2 case/stand called The Shell, with a nod to keeping an iPad safe during brutal use. Like when it’s in the hands of kids. Yeah, it’s big and froggy green (don’t like frogs? It also comes black or white) — but it’s got a handle that turns into a stand for both landscape and [Read More...]
I like this tip since it offers you a quick and easy method for viewing the windows belonging to other apps without loosing focus on the current app you are using. The mouse pointer has special powers when you use it to hover over an apps icon in the dock, but those powers used to invoke App Exposé only come to life with a four-fingered downward swipe on your trackpad.
