Rain Design launches iSlider at Macworld/iWorld 2013

by Megan Lavey-Heaton (Feb 4th, 2013)

We haven't seen much out of Rain Design in the past few years. The iRest won Macworld Best of Show in 2011, but there was nothing new new at Macworld in 2012. Later in the year, the company rolled out the mTower, a stand that looks like it was designed to compete against TwelveSouth's BookArc ...

One of the weirdest devices I've seen so far here at Macworld is Spicebox's Mauz controller. The company recently started a Kickstarter for the project (their second, after a case that tracks your opening of multiple beers called the Intoxicase), but even though that campaign hasn't yet come ...

Aspyr Media charges on in the wild world of Mac gaming

by Mike Schramm (Jan 31st, 2013)
