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.

If the Zune can wirelessly sync over your home network why can't your iPhone A developer's made an automatic GUI

I've received quite a few requests on how I was able change my system font to Neo Tech on my iPhone. It's all done by replacing the standard Helvetica.ttf and HelveticaBold.ttf font in the iPhone with a specially modified Neo Tech font. Please note that it's not simply a matter of renaming the Neo Tech font or any font you might be thinking of trying to Helvetica. The use of Kate or Font Swap isn't needed as this is just replacing the Helvetica fonts. Make a Back-up of your Helvetica fonts before replacing with the new ones. Upload the extracted fonts into: System/Library/Fonts/Cache replacing the Helvetica.ttf and HelveticaBold.ttf fonts with the newer ones

It's been a few days since iPhone v1.1.4 firmware has been released and now that the dust has settled I'm happy to let you all know that ziphone v2.5c (and newer) has been released and we've successfully tested it here. It's remarkably simple to use, multiplatform and, with the addition of a graphical user interface, almost foolproof. Thus, for now, it's our recommended activation, jailbreak and unlock method. So here's what you do.

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.

iPhone Video Recorder (for 2G and 3G iPhone) is a powerful iPhone oriented video recorder produced by DreamCatcher.  The newly released version 3.0 supports on-the-fly (real time)recording to mov file with the video quality improved dramatically. iPhone Video Recorder for 3G iPhone can also record audio and video to the compressed mpeg4 format for space saving, an-hour-high-quality recording will be a file as small as 60MB.

The iPhone does a lot of things well. Some things it doesn't do very well. Some things it doesn't do at all, strangely enough. Copy-paste, MMS are two of the chief no-shows. Video capture is also nowhere to be found. Until now. Enter, Flixwagon.

As popular as the iPhone is and as good as the device is when compared to its competitors there are droves of young developers attempting to make it do more. And why not? The iPhone does run on Mac OS X, meaning it has tremendous potential. Natch, iPhone fans can't wait for Apple to add new features and this has sparked an underground market of hacks serving those in need of instant gratification. The latest black market iPhone application is called Drunknbass and it turns the iPhone still camera into a video camera.

Born at a time when people assumed desktop computers were all about text, the primarily visual Macintosh is marking its 25th anniversary on a mostly high note with some of its best-ever sales and influence beyond just desktop computers.

Very funny quotes from lawyers and witnesses, most of which emphasize how unthinking or just plain stupid are many courtroom proceedings.

Macs are joining the "Borg" collective zombie botnet.

Macs have achieve sufficient market-share that they are beginning to be hacked and pulled into the botnet "collective". So, even if Mac OS X security is generally better than that of other OSes all of us Mac users should be as cautious about downloaded software as we advise the PC users to be.

With the 25th anniversary of the first Macintosh computer coming up on January 24th, 2009, we're taking a look back in time at the evolution of Apple products. Most have been notable leaps forward, while some were famous flops. Whether or not their inventions were accepted by the marketplace, Apple has consistently put out products that raise the bar for the computer and telecommunications industry. The list compiled for this article is by no means a complete compilation of all Apple products. We chose to highlight those products where the design changes are best appreciated.
