Apple has finally launched its Magic Trackpad for the Mac and guess what? It's pretty affordable and pretty darn awesome.

In a shocking turn of events, Apple has finally given us a look at what it takes to get an app into the App Store. It's a pretty good read, check it out.

"The day has finally arrived for Apple fanboys who are residing in those parts of the World where iPad hasn't reached yet officially. This friday, Apple is about to release its most awesome gadget to the date in 9 more different countries, according to official resources."

It may not knock the iPhone off its throne, but the new T-Mobile G1 could finally give the reigning smart phone some much-needed competition.

Next week, Google, HTC and T Mobile will finally rip the covers off the much-vaunted Android phone, the HTC Dream. Known also by its slightly less pony name, the G1, it's set to give Apple, Microsoft and Nokia a major headache, seeing as it'll comprise a WinMo and iPhone beating OS, coupled with a Nok-slapping handset. But what you want to know is why it'll really shake things up. Read on, dear Stuffers, to find out.

In this screencast we're using the h.264 codec on the multi-pass setting, which, in my opinion is some of the best looking compression with the best size files you can make right now.

MPEG Streamclip is a powerful high-quality video converter, player, editor for MPEG, QuickTime, transport streams, iPod. And now it is a DivX editor and encoding machine, and even a stream and YouTube downloader. You can use MPEG Streamclip to: open most movie formats including MPEG files or transport streams; play them at full screen; edit them with Cut, Copy, Paste, and Trim; set In/Out points and convert them into muxed or demuxed files, or export them to QuickTime, AVI, DV and MPEG-4 files with more than professional quality, so you can easily import them in Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Toast 6, 7, 8, and use them with many other applications or devices.

Finally, the popular Loopt have entered the Android Market. And the best thing is: it comes as a freeware :)

So whilst the iPhone can make toast, plan your social life and help you run your business if can't seem to do video and so far there's no rumour of video capture for future firmware either. Enter ShowTime by Polar Bear Farm. ShowTime will basically grab up to 6 frames per second at 320 x 427 through your iPhone's camera approxmating motion video. Of course you'll need a jail broken iPhone to try it.

Finally, getting movies onto your Mac is easy!

Now Microsoft is fighting back with its own advertising campaign. I've enjoyed some of its elements. The Seinfeld spots were weird. I was intrigued by some of the "I'm a PC" spots that aired last fall, depicting PC users engaged in a variety of jobs-teaching law, protecting endangered species, blogging for Barack Obama. The message: You can use a Windows PC and still do cool and interesting things. Not bad. Then came the adorable little girls: Kylie, age 4, and Alexa, age 7, e-mailing pictures of fish and stitching together pictures of a fort into one. Microsoft, it seemed, had finally found its advertising voice.

A new private beta

Well, it looks like the iPhone will finally be released in the country where it's made. There is one tiny problem though. It won't include Wi-Fi.

No fees, no subscriptions and free Wi-Fi. Barnes and Noble has promoted their newly debuted eBookstore perfectly and AT&T finally did some good in the world.

Back in April, 2007, Nathaniel Gray introduced Backup Bouncer, a suite of tests that can be used to evaluate a backup solution's ability to preserve HFS+ filesystem metadata. Since then, I have discovered a few bugs in the test suite that would prevent it from accurately reporting results on various platform:OS combinations. I also identified some areas where Backup Bouncer could do a bit more, so I fleshed out some of the tests to be a bit more thorough. Finally, I also added support for testing the support of HFS+ filesystem compression, a feature added in Snow Leopard. See also this report of the Backup Bouncer results for Carbon Copy Cloner.

Sources, who are apparently close to Apple, are claiming that vacation days for employees in Cupertino have been blacked out from February 3rd to the 6th. Is it finally time for the Verizon iPhone?

Tomorrow is a big day for Verizon customers. That's right, after years of waiting; the iPhone is finally available for purchase.

Apple's mythical white iPhone 4 has appeared in AT&T's online database which means it should only be a short time before we at long last see it show up on shelves.
