Psystar, those guys who took Hackintosh, packaged it with commodity hardware and decided to sell Mac clones have declared bankruptcy. How the mighty fall.

Our friends at Bjango have a new app, called Beats. If you're a DJ or making electronic music, this app will be very handy for you, with such features like a tap tempo, advanced metronome and key mixing aid. I don't really know what most of that means, so I'm just going to marvel at it's beautiful UI. That blue to purple gradient on the LCD is giving me Daft Punk flashbacks.

Infoworld has compared the Blackberry Bold to the iPhone and well, it's no surprise as to which one comes out on top.

RetroMacCast (an excellent podcast about vintage Macs) recently conducted an interview with Rob Janoff, who designed the Apple's famous rainbow coloured logo.

The Apple Blog give you the lowdown on NTFS support on OS X. From my own personal experience, Paragon's NTFS for Mac is the only way to fly.

Apple have a new ad featuring Hodgman and Long, this time, on the New York Times, where they talk about customer satisfaction and involve some other ads. You will be interested to note that Matt Servitto, who played an FBI Agent in the Sopranos and Speaker of the House in Brotherhood. He also did some voice acting for the great PC game, Mafia.

The cover of the June 1st issue of The New Yorker was created on an iPhone. The artist said he was able to sit on 42nd Street and watch everyone and paint, without anyone noticing, as it just looked like he was using his iPhone.

Feel the need to hook your Automator creation into Twitter? Macworld shows you how.

37signals explain how they use a combination of SubEthaEdit and iChat to collaborate on a book, with all the members spread across the USA.

Wallace Wang has made a PDF available of his great book for iPhone newbies, titled, My New iPhone. Aww. I think most of us geeks might not find it too useful, but the book itself is great and for those not too interested in pressing everyone option on their iPhone, this book could be of use.

Hey, there is no obvious forum link on MacTalk Australia. I read the news there on the way in on my iPhone then I have to manually type out forums.mactalk.com.au to get to the forum...

The iPhone theme is still in creation (in conjucntion with an iPhone forum theme) - the one we have now is temporary. That said, we'll hack one in somewhere. Alternatively, you can bookmark the forums and then that way you can go directly to it

Totally agree on bookmarks, I have mt.c.a bookmarked but not f.mt.c.a bookmarked. The non iPhone mt page was very slow for mobile viewing, new page is awesome. Just bringing the no link to your attention.

for some reason listening to those two guys chat to each other reminds me of Iron Chef.

Yes there is:



Isn't that what you're after?

If you just mean, from the front page, no. Not yet.

Point taken about nitpicking, but the front page of MacTalk consistently features poor grammar and spelling, and it makes the site look shoddy and amateurish.
