Though initially only available to developers, the iWork for iCloud beta is now open to the public. Following the first developer beta, several other non-developers were invited to test out the service in July. Now, anybody who currently has an Apple ID can login at iCloud.com to test out iWork’s functionality on the cloud before […]
Apple’s current state of affairs in the public realm is one of massiveness – the company is worth billions of dollars, and here in the summer of 2013, one of its biggest investors is meeting with Tim Cook over lunch. This meeting will be centered on the possibility of buying back shares. According to Icahn, […]
Somewhere out there a handful of Form 1 high-res 3D printer backers are jumping for joy now that Formlabs has launched a Mac version of its PreForm software. You might remember Form 1 as that project that made a killing on Kickstarter in 2012, raking in over $2 million, or more than 20 times its goal. The 3D model creation program was initially available only for Windows, but the firm will now simultaneously publish updates for both operating systems, starting with this latest release. In addition to support for Apple hardware, version 0.8.4 comes with the capability to automatically patch up holes and irregularities on 3D models, so they can be printed out quickly and smoothly. Both flavors of PreForm are up on Formlabs’ website, where the 3D printer itself is available for preorder with a $3,300 price tag and a November 2013 shipping date.

Benchmarks for the 2013 model Mac Pro surfaced back in June. At the time there was some mixed opinions in terms of those results. The Geekbench test had returned a score of 23,901 and while that was roughly 2,000 points above the previous Mac Pro flagship — some were expecting much higher numbers based on […]
Collaboration tools are nothing new, but they don’t always make it easy to find what you’re looking for: conversations, files and other resources may sit in entirely different places. Flickr co-founder Stewart Butterfield wants to solve that through Slack, a service that just started taking sign-ups for its private preview. The collaboration app centers on a universal search interface that simplifies locating conversations and shared files, even if those files are hosted by a third-party provider like Google Drive. Both messages and notifications sync across dedicated apps for Android, iOS, OS X and Windows; Slack can also pull in content from outside tools like bug trackers, help desk clients or Twitter. The company is planning for a public launch in the fall, but those who just can’t wait can ask for a peek at the source link.

The slow creep of Jony Ive’s flat-friendly software design is starting to pick up its pace with the new beta version of iCloud.com. That scratchy old black background is now dreamy blue and blurry just like iOS 7

We knew SimCity for Mac would be arriving at some point when Maxis and Electronic Arts announced the news earlier this year, and finally, after seeing a delay past its initial June launch, Mac gamers will be able to get their grubby little hands on the game starting on August 29, just six or so […]
The splines of SimCity for Mac have been reticulating for longer than many mayors would like, but that’s about to change come August 29th, when the game officially hits online servers for download. The release of the Mac version — which costs $40 for the standard edition, or $60 for the deluxe version — allows EA to finally make good on its promise of cross-platform, multi-player city building. If you happen to own both a Mac and a PC, you’ll find that one purchase allows you to download both versions from EA’s Origin store. Naturally, we’re crossing our fingers that SimCity for Mac will have a smoother launch than its PC counterpart, but it seems that we’ll have a definitive answer by month’s end.

If you bought a Nokia Lumia device in the past 6 months and were wondering if there were an easier way to transfer photos to your OS X machine than the already in-play Windows Phone app, lucky you: today there is. What you’re looking at here is Nokia Photo Transfer for Mac, an extremely simple […]
It’s easy for Mac users to back up regular photos from Lumia phones, but not the shots taken using Nokia’s special modes — iPhoto can’t handle the raw data from Cinemagraph, for example. Nokia’s new Photo Transfer for Mac should provide that missing peace of mind. The utility saves all the files needed to work with photos and videos in Nokia’s mobile imaging apps, including Cinemagraph, Pro Camera, Smart Camera and SmartShoot. While there’s no on-computer editing, the tool simplifies exporting any media to a Lumia device for additional tweaks. If you’re running at least OS X Lion, you can grab Photo Transfer for Mac at the source link.
