Automatically Save Your Work on Your Mac On Any Application

EverSave… is a free application for the Mac which saves your documents on regular intervals based on your preferences. You can save on all applications or just a select few and most importantly it seems to work with any application!

CameraBag for the iPhone

Derek pointed me to another fabulous iPhone Camera App called CameraBag. Choose from a cool range of retro filters that you can apply to your pictures. Wonderful!

Quad Animator for the Quad Camera

How cool: Michael found out about the QuadCamera on swissmiss, and I now learned about the Quad Animator that will turn images into an animated gif on his blog. Going full circle!

Quad Camera

QuadCamera is the the 4th release by Art&Mobile of their ToyCamera series and features continuous shooting. Just pressing the button, and it takes 4-8 serial shots to create one image in multiple dimensions and repetitions: a 4x2 portrait, 4x1, 2x2 landscape, and 8x1 landscape. Love. Love. Love.

iPhone CSS Design Gallery

I agree with Michael: How cool is this? A CSS Design gallery showing sites as viewed through the iPhone.

52 E-Commerce Stores on the iPhone

Tom Sullivan took screen shots of 52 of the top ecommerce sites on his iphone to see what the support was like. Only 6 of the 50 retailers redirect iPhone users to a mobile-optimized website: Amazon, Best Buy, Foot Locker, Target, Victoria’s Secret, and Walmart. (Ralph Lauren should be on this list, since they offer a mobile-optimized website, but the server doesn’t redirect iPhone visitors.) I am pretty sure this ratio will change quickly considering how important the iPhone has become.

If Mac is like short skis, PC is like...

Here our metaphor begins to break down. Short skis really don't work as well at high speeds, for good skiers. But that's not necessarily true of short-ski computers. Currently, the Macintosh has only limited memory, but that's more of a financial consideration than a fundamental design problem. There's no reason the Mac can't get more powerful without losing its essential character. In fact, the Macintosh uses the power of a high-technology 68000 chip (the same that's inside many $20,000 computers) to make itself easier. It's inherently more powerful than the harder-to-use IBM PC, but its power makes things easier, not tougher, for the user. Incidentally, when I told Don Estridge, head of the IBM division that developed the PC, that the Mac was short skis, he thought for a moment, then said: "Yes, but tall people need long skis."

swissmiss loves the Pano iPhone App!

Pano for iPhone lets you take panoramic photos straight from your phone, no other software necessary. Yay! See some examples in this Pano Flickr Group. I am in love with an app!

Dear Airport Utility...

Dear Airport Utility, I am tired of you going into scanning mode and disconnecting me from the internet. Please stop. Thank you.

(By the way, I know this is a common problem. I've searched quite a few forums and tried the hacks that people seemed to have figured out. None of them worked for me. Only solution that works is to connect to the internet via the ethernet cable. Now that is so analog.)

UPDATE 1: One of my readers wrote in a comment below: Apple today released an update that probably fixed the problem.

UPDATE 2: Tried the update that Apple released today. Didn't help. And now I see the update is no longer available. What in the world is going on??

Flip Clock for your iPhone

Flip Clock just made my day. It's FLIQLO but for your iPhone.

BatRest, fabulous iphone stand

Courtenay from Seskimo sent me one of his iPhone stands to test out. My verdict? Fantastic! Small enough to fit my tiny swissmiss wallet but at the same time sturdy enough to solidly hold my iPhone. No more holding the iPhone for Ella in a restaurant in one hand while trying to eat my dinner with the other... Get yourself one of these!

a question for my readers...

My wonderful G has been using a service called LogMeIn for a while now on his PC's. It let's him keep all of his computers synced at all times. It also allows him to gain access to his home or office PC from any computer with an Internet connection.

In my dreams, my iMac at work and my laptop at home would be completely mirrored at all times. I just saw that LogMeIn also has an Apple feature. Are you familiar with the Mac Version of this service and have used it? I am not sure a service like this would work for me as some of my project files are h-u-u-u-g-e!

Dear swissmiss readers, how do you keep your data on your multiple computers synced?

Investing Strategies for iPhone Customers

“It’s certainly not as steep a trend as my iPhone’s devaluation, but it’s significant. In the year since I bought my first iPhone, AAPL has gained roughly 50% in value. If I’d spent that original US$599 on Apple stock instead, I’d be able to buy a new iPhone 3G and have about US$599 in assets to my name. Oh well.ll.”

blue lounge spacestation

An extended desk organizer for laptop users with internal coiling pins conceals all the cords that usually sprawl over the desk. Hovering just 5mm above the desk, cords are free to enter or exit the hub at any point – on the side to connect a scanner, the front for an iPod, the back for a laptop or camera. An internal 4-port USB hub will keep all peripherals connected. One USB plug exits the station right where needed to connect a laptop. Just tip the front of the SpaceStation up to access the hub and cords.
