Turn your iPhone into a wireless drive with DataCase

by Steven Sande (Jul 14th, 2008)

One feature of many other handheld devices is the ability to use the device as a portable flash drive to move data between a couple of computers. The iPhone doesn't have that ability now, but will on July 28, 2008. That's the day that DataCase will be available in the iTunes App Store for $6.99. ...

iPhone Coding: Bonjour wrapper simplifies iPhone implementation

by Erica Sadun (Nov 7th, 2007)

Man, I wish this Bonjour class wrapper had been around a few weeks ago. The CFBonjour Cocoa class simplifies mDNS/Bonjour programming for the iPhone and iPod touch. iPhone developer Ecume pointed me towards this simple class that allows you to publish and subscribe to Bonjour network services with a ...

MDNS and caffeine: How I got Bonjour running on my iPhone

by Erica Sadun (Oct 22nd, 2007)

See this picture? It's a picture of my iPod touch. But here is the interesting thing. The picture you see is actually a screen shot from my iPod touch. As you can see from the iPod logo, it has no on-board camera. Instead, it's subscribed to a Bonjour service on my iPhone and using its camera ...

Picnic file synchronizer released

by Mat Lu (Sep 4th, 2007)

We last mentioned Picnic when the beta was released in June; now Objectpark software is shipping version 1. Picnic is a utility designed to allow you to synchronize folders you specify between two Macs on the same local network. By using Bonjour it requires little or no setup. Unfortunately, I see ...

Bonjour for Windows 1.0.4 released

by Mike Schramm (Jul 30th, 2007)

Apple has released a new version of Bonjour for Windows, 1.0.4, just in case you're zero-configuration networking with any Windows PCs in the area. There's no changelog available, but this version dropped as a preview onto the ADC page last month, and apparently "includes Windows Vista support and ...

Alleged OS X worm creator disappears

by Mike Schramm (Jul 19th, 2007)

I'm not sure if you've been following the story of "Infosec Sellout" (it's a tough one to follow), but apparently the anonymous Mac hacker has given up blogging about OS X security-- his blog has been deleted and renamed on Blogspot. Just recently, he made headlines by claiming that he'd developed a ...

Picnic offers Bonjour shared folders

by Mat Lu (Jun 21st, 2007)

Picnic appears to be an interesting tool for small Mac networks where users need to share files. It allows you to "create shared folders of files which are automatically synced between all user's accounts using Bonjour." This could really make it easier for small businesses or workgroups to share ...

Google Summer of Code kicks off with Camino, Adium, Thunderbird and more

by David Chartier (Jun 7th, 2007)

Google's Summer of Code is a really cool, really massive project focused on open source that first started back in 2005. It functions on a pretty simple concept: the company gives out grants to student developers (this summer they brought on 900 from a list of 6,200 applicants) to work on open ...

iSticky offers notes with reminders, sending via Bonjour, more

by David Chartier (Jun 12th, 2006)

Sticky notes are great, but sticky notes that can have reminder alarms, be sent to other Macs via Bonjour, sent over the web and SMS, archived and more - are better. If any of these features have your inner nerd excited, then check out iSticky - a sticky note app on steroids. Also on the feature ...

Gawker, the clever app for recording, sharing and combining time-lapse movies, has been updated to version 0.70 with some unique features. It is now compatible with non-iSight cameras, including even DV cameras, and can record from up to four cameras simultaneously (when you consider the power of ...

TUAW Tip: Copying to iTunes

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Mar 22nd, 2006)

This tip might seem obvious to some, but I had a friend (a part-time switcher who bought a Mac mini last year) try to copy "Battlestar Galactica" episodes from his PC to his Mac mini. His solution was to manually copy the file from one Music Library to the other, then double-click the file ...

Front Row and iPhoto Updates too...

by C.K. Sample, III (Mar 1st, 2006)

I saw Dave's post about the updates, and so I launched Software Update and found a few that he didn't mention: Front Row Update 1.2.1 and iPhoto update 6.0.2. All I have to say is: bonjour! Update: looks like Dave got the iPhoto update in there in an update to his post while I was writing this ...
