TouchPad turns your iPhone into a remote keyboard and mouse for your Mac

by TJ Luoma (Oct 19th, 2009)

TouchPad [iTunes Link] is my new best friend. It allows you to control the mouse and keyboard on your Mac through your iPhone, as well as Front Row. It is currently on sale in the App Store for $1.99 (50% off) for a "limited time" so you may want to grab it while you can. At the end of most days, I ...

Welcome back, macTV

by Scott McNulty (Dec 14th, 2006)

I don't know about you, but I sure missed macTV. The last few months have been devoid of a central place for a Mac happy guy (or gal) to seek out and watch Mac related videos, notably those cool videos that Apple creates to be played at Apple Stores and in a variety of other places. The long Mac ...

macTV: Simpsons "diePOD"

by Dave Caolo (Apr 13th, 2006)

A couple of weeks ago on Fox's The Simpsons, grandpa attempted an assisted suicide, Soylent Green-style. To get the job done, the doctor connected him to the "diePOD" while he watched "...footage of cops beating up hippies." It was pretty funny, and macTV has the clip. Check it ...

MacTV, the site that offers an ever-changing variety of Mac and Apple-related videos, has announced their new premiere service. For $2US per month (that's less than one large coffee, folks!) you will receive exclusive content, streaming access to their full library of videos, faster downloads ...

"The world's biggest backyard fence to talk over"

by David Chartier (Feb 17th, 2006)

MacTV has posted a really interesting videocast 'flashback' on the early days of computing in 1981 (iTMS link), including news footage and computing expo coverage. An intriguing but brief interview with "multi-millionaire Steve Jobs" made it into the vidcast, and barring any ...

Eat Up Martha

by Dave Caolo (Feb 16th, 2006)

Of all the snarky Apple references in pop culture, my all time favorite is this brief clip from The Simpsons. During a school assembly, Kearney tells his buddy, "...take a memo on your Newton: Beat up Martin." He scribbles away only to see the Newton's handwriting recognition interpret his ...

Rig of the Day: The collector

by Dave Caolo (Jan 17th, 2006)

Now, I collect Macs and other Apple goodies, but Flickr user mactarkus has got me beat. Check out the iMacs (is that a flower power in the foreground?), All in One, compact Macs, Mac TV...even a Twentieth Anniversary Mac, which, for me, is the Holy Grail. Two great posters wrap up the collection. ...

Previous editions have included the Hal 9000 ad (one of my favorites), the original iPod TV spot and a formerly press-only video of Steve introducing the white iBooks (including Reality Distortion Field). ...
