No app’s banning from the App Store has caused more gnashing of teeth and anger than the loss of Google Voice (no, not even the removal of the weak girly picture apps). While it’s understandable why AT&T would want to keep free phone...

Awesome Note is a charming, flexible, free-form app that combines elements of both note-taking and todo apps. But like uncle Chuck at an all-you-can-eat Vegas-style buffet, trying to shoehorn too much good stuff into one thing can sometimes lead to m...

Starting tomorrow, Cult of Mac will be publishing a series of posts simply called “100 Essential Mac tips and tricks for Windows switchers.” These will be short, simple posts explaining one thing at a time. They’re aimed very square...

Like LogMeIn Ignition, TeamViewer lets you access a computer over the Internet from your iPhone. The big difference: TeamViewer is completely free. Yup, free. The new iPhone app from German-based TeamViewer complements their (also free) desktop app,...

We start off with another deal on MacBook Pros. This one, from Expercom, features a 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo with 8GB RAM and a 500GB hard drive for $1,573. Next up is a new passle of App Store price drops, including “Screen Heater,” a collecti...

Back in January, we reported on the blurry images of some ancient Apple Newton prototypes that were doing the rounds on the internets. Since then, Grant Hutchinson, who was mentioned in that article, has taken a fantastic set of photos of the Newton...

Is global warming finally reaching the icy tones of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer? Probably not, but some observers see a possible thaw in the relationship between the Seattle software giant and Apple. The latest sign comes from comments by Ballmer pra...

Just days after we reported on the launch of Alfred for OS X, along comes yet another keyboard-centric file and application launcher: Launchy. Launchy has a long history as an open source Windows application, doing much the same on that platform that...

Free, open source operating system Ubuntu will take on a new look in its forthcoming 10.04 release. Gone is the brown, in comes the auberginey-purple. It’s actually quite appealing and obviously takes a lot of cues from OS X (the file manager w...

This is the man-bites-dog of gadget crime: a mugger stuck a gun in the face of a 15-year-old demanding cash but just said no when offered an iPod instead. It happened in Sydney, Australia, where police believe the attacker was another teen. “[T...

During CES, Casemate showed off its newest iPhone and iPod Touch wireless charging solution, the Hug, and promised an imminent release date. Two months later, and here it is, ready for shipping in its beautiful but bulky, wirelessly-charging glory. T...

Will the iPad do something iTunes and the App Store so far haven’t: become significant money-makers for Apple? Nearly a third of the iPad’s revenue will come from content sales, one analyst said Tuesday. In a note to investors, Broadpoin...

When the iPhone was first released in China last year in partnership with China Unicom, it confusingly shipped with 3G but without WiFi. The reason for the omission, of course, had to do with government censorship: the Chinese government’s Go...

The lawsuit Apple filed against HTC last week was just a public ‘warning shot’ across the bow of handset makers in an effort begun early last year to thwart the rise of potential iPhone killers, an analyst told investors Tuesday. Apple...

This iPhone 3Gs video camera stabilizer is probably too extreme a DIY project for anyone to actually carry out, but if you choose to brave Google Translate’s gobbledygooked English translation ofthese Japanese instructions, you should be able t...

Yesterday, Valve yawned open its PR orifice and finally confirmed the huge Mac gaming development that everyone already knew was coming: they’re bringing the Steam digital delivery service to OS X. Today, from that same orifice, we have more d...

Here’s Homer Simpson’s iPhone. Pretty dull, actually. Only one page of apps, and most of them look like the defaults. No iFart? No iBeer? No iDoh? Wait – what’s that app there? Third row down, third from left? Ah! Couch Gag!...

After Street Fighter, Tekken’s one of the biggest fighting game franchises around. It’s no surprise, then, that the iconic Namco brawler would be quick to follow Capcom’s Street Fighter IV as an iPhone-specific port. There’s n...

This, ladies and gentlemen, is today’s Best Thing Ever. Panic are the people who make fabulous Mac software like FTP client Transmit and web dev box-of-tricks Coda. Now they’ve made their own status board – it’s a monitor hun...

It’s Hanukkah come early! Well, not really, but Canon’s fresh new instant rebate sale may have you itching to light up that menorah! Most likely a response to Nikon’s recently announced instant rebate sale, Canon’s sale is ac...

We start the week with a deal on the iPod touch, starting at $139 for an 8GB first-generation MP3 player.Also on tap today is a new batch of App Store freebies, including “Big Brain on Fire,” which is described as a rhythm-based puzzle. L...

Apple has begun cracking down on App Store developers hawking ‘cook-cutter’ applications with little or no advantage over similar Web-based apps, according to a Monday report. The tighter requirements are likely designed to ensure App Sto...

Along with a glimpse of Apple CEO Steve Jobs attending Sunday’s Oscars, viewers may also have seen the first public shots fired in the ebook pricing wars between the Cupertino, Calif. company and online retail goliath Amazon. The 30-second comm...

Well, it looks like it’s official: after accidentally leaking the existence of a Mac client in their latest beta, and teasing the same in a series of hysterical promotional images, Valve has announced that the Steam games delivery service will...

On Friday, we mused about what would happen if Old Spice’s “I’m On A Horse” campaign was applied to Apple’s products… which seemed ridiculous enough a suggestion at the time, but if the recent Oscar Night iPad spot...

If you are diminutive in stature, the best way to boost your ego is to stand next to an even shorter person. In the world of finance, you compare a not-so bad quarter against a real stinker. Such sleight-of-hand translates into exceeding Wall Street...

You’re probably already familiar with Vers’ signature line of wooden cases for the iPhone and iPod Touch. No surprise in the wake of the iPad’s announcement, then, that they have just announced a new wooden iPad Case, which (for $80...

A few short months ago, the Kindle seemed completely unassailable. While Amazon’s e-reader was hardly a tech revelation, before the iPad, it didn’t need to be: Amazon’s gigantic e-book store engorged with millions of $9.99 titles an...

In his emails to Apple customers who take the time to write him and ask him questions, Steve Jobs usually comes across as a really busy guy who, despite his workload, is really trying his best to maintain a human, one-on-one connection to his custome...

Apple just premiered the very first iPad commercial during the first ad break of tonight’s Academy Awards. It was very good, just a rock song and demoing every imaginable feature while continually rotating from portrait to landscape. We’l...
