This hebdomad , Macworldoffered some advice , a sight of reviews , and a looking at back at five years of iPhone . Let ’s plunk in .
The explainer
We like explicate things . So this week , we explainedprecisely what green can do for you . We offer upthree quick web web browser tips . If you expect that last one to admit advice like “ eat lots of mushrooms ” and “ try out using fireballs , ” you misinterpret ; these are not quickBowsertips .
Other advice we shared include how tochoose a to - do manager , how to present with the iPad , how toturn photos into a moving-picture show , and how to fix forthis weekend ’s final farewell to MobileMe . And this hebdomad ’s Macworld television pourboire show you how toset up your Mac for remote Indian file admission , or SUYMFRFA for forgetful .
desire to understand why Google ’s so laser - focused on getting its apps ( like Chrome and Google Drive ) on iOS?We have that answer as well .
Reviews, both hard and soft(ware)
We found thatthe new AirPort Express is a ball of fire , and we do n’t say that about every wireless router , you have it away . Macworld science laboratory putbuild - to - fiat 2012 MacBook Airs to the test , and the resultant may storm you . And thatmaybe cause a fiend pops out from behind the article as you study it . Maybe .
We hold the Soundfreaq Sound Kick a listen , and we also put theSpeechWare USB 6 - in-1 TableMiketo the tryout .
Our reviewers tested a bunch of iOS apps . Our conclusions : Temple Run : Brave is decent , but sterile ; Pocket Planes is fun , but slow - moving ; DocAS is able , but sloppy ; and Mole Kingdom is just too darn sluggish . We also wenthands - on with the novel Podcasts app , and to be genteel , we went headphones - on as we did so .
On the Mac side , GemFest 2012 continued apace . We likedBronson Watermarker , FormalAddress , MailTags , Typingstats , andClusters .
Other apps we looked at includedNisus Writer ExpressandNisus Writer Pro ; since there are only two of them , there can be no Nisust , though one may be Nisur than the other . We also reviewedAdobe Illustrator CS6 , which was by conception . Get it ? !
The iPhone turns five
The original iPhone was unloose five age ago this week , and folks at the end of the line outside the Fifth Avenue Apple Store are almost inside the store . We look back atthe significance of the iPhone ’s launching — and its omnipresence in our pockets . We remarked thatthe iPhone ’s influence today is stronger than ever . And we highlightedfive key moments in the iPhone ’s narrative — and not one of them is Antennagate . That ’s aMacworldguarantee .
