These guys really get photo editing on the iPad. You can do a lot of things that you could do in iPhoto directly in here. It is by far the best photo editing application I have used on the iPad. In fact for a lot of quick edits on the go I have used this rather than bring the photos into Aperture and do my editing there.

Financial results for 2Q 2011: busted the analysts expectations once again. PS- Should have noted that iPad2 sales were not up to scratch but when you have “the mother of all backlogs” to fill, putting some of that $66bn cash mountain to use helps. Preview app in Lion will act as Word, Excel, PowerPoint viewer: So now it becomes the jack of some more trades. . Gruber- iOS location storing is a bug, getting fixed in future iOS update : Fix this fast Cupertino as this could get messy quickly. Do believe this is an oversight though, not a Big Bro situ in any way.  (God damn apologist! Ed) Rumor- iPhone 5 Gets Tapered Design, Larger Screen, Gesture-Sensitive Home Button? : And it will drive you to work in the morning too.  . Rumours, ya gotta love ’em. Yum iMac Coffee Table an Innovative Form of Computer Recycling : This is a really cool example of practical recycling …… for five grand a pop.  (Thank god you didn’t say five grand a plop. Ed) Games, EA Sales Drop: Did everybody go for these instead of Easter eggs ? Simplenote & nvALT : Have used ‘em to write up these shownotes on Mac & iPad. This is a perfect combo up there with Riggs & Murtagh or Laurel & Hardy. (Hey what about Byrne and Shortle?

So sit back and indulge us for your listening pleasure. News: Growth of iOS : A new survey from MobileMix with charts galore showing the ongoing march of the iOS platform especially with the introduction of the iPhone4 to the Verizon network. Even though Android still has majority of the market individual companies that licence Android only hold about 3% of the market on average while iOS owned by Apple only has 31% of impressions. Would be curious to see how many Verizon iPhones have been activated and could this stymie the Droid’s growth in future. Future of Mac Design : The hiring of Kevin Kenney who is a composites engineer by Apple who has been advising them on the use of carbon composite materials in prototype devices. The guy also has expertise in the supply chain area but don’t think that your are gonna see an iBike in the next Tour de France. Begun the 3D Wars have: Pretty cool demo that uses the front facing camera on an iPad2 ( also could work on iPhone/iPod Touch) and with some software wizardry tracks your face and generates in this case a 3d UI. Pretty cool vid to check out at end of article. Moov: An Israeli start up that have created a case for iPhone4 that you put it into in order to wirelessly send video to your HDTV. Lifestyle Changes: JB gets up earlier in the morning to catch the early worm. Would you take on this lifestyle & what would you do with all those worms ? You could write a book too Other order of business: Escape from the Flash: Yes, folks finally we can stop being the guys throwing stones in the glasshouse and state that our site is now HTML5 ready for audio and video with new WordPress plugin. That worked after Justin changed some of the site’s plumbing to make it play nice, if a person is using Chrome, Safari or other HTML5 compliant browser. Otherwise it defaults to Flash if you visit with an older browser, but the question then would be… WHAT’S UP WIT DAT ?

Sit back and enjoy the chat Discussion: Patent hinting at hybrid E-ink & LCD display…Patently Apple strikes www.ereaderiq.com …Especially for those who love free Kindle books (and who does’nt love free). iOS 4.3.2 Potential update in next two weeks.. but it looks to be a housekeeping one in our book with some security issues being squished to boot. iSteve: The Book of Jobs The official record of Stevie J… his life & times. and from that…. the possible return of the other Stevie (Woz) . Apps, Glorious Apps: Kick to Pick.. Let your baby name his/herself . MacCraic does not condone any listeners attempting this in real life on their young ‘un . Blueface Banter iOS App: An app from an Irish based company that allows you to make & receive calls on the fixed line network with an allocated fixed line number that would save you especially on international calls.
