I do think it is going to help Facetime to grow in popularity. Now if you get a Facetime call and your at home you don't need to sit there in front of your Iphone, trying to position it so people aren't looking up your nose. Now you can continue working and see them on your computer. Also unlike Facetime on the Iphone, the person who is using the computer version can record what is being sent to him or her on the Iphone, using something like Camtasia or Screenium. I know that you can already do this using Skype, but it is just another option for people. Plus it allows a Mac to Mac call. There are a couple of things that are missing from it and I wish it had. The first would be the ability to chat from the Iphone or Ipod Touch using Facetime. The second is it works only with other Facetime users, it would be so much better if you could use it no matter what video client the other person was on. However, I also know that is not Apple's way of doing things and I am probably going to be waiting a long time for this too happen. The final problem I have is I need more people I know to buy Iphones or Ipod Touches or Macs so I can use it more.
Sometimes things no one ever thought of simply seem to come together. Services and devices end up being used to do things the individual inventors and designers couldn’t have imagined.

It was announced over the weekend that Steve Jobs will be giving the keynote to this year's WWDC. It was no big surprise there. However, this is usually the time where all the rumors start to flood the internet. It hasn't been too crazy - Possibly because of the prototype phones out in the wild. We are definitely expecting a
If you are a Mac user you have probably heard of MacHeist. MacHeist is a package program that is release occasionally. It contains several programs, which if you brought alone would cost several hundred dollars. When you buy the MacHeist package you get all the programs for less then $20.00. The programs that are offer with MacHeist vary with each release and the date of release is unknown. This latest MacHeist which is now over, had the following programs in it: MacJournal, RipIt, Clips, Flow, CoverScout, Tales of Monkey Island, RapidWeaver and Tweetie. The MacHeist Web site says that they sold over 175,000 copies of the software and raised over $1,250,000 for charity. I admit I am one of those who purchased the MacHeist package this time around. I was already going to buy Ripit and was interested in Clips, so it made sense.
First of all, I know there are going to be people disagreeing on this, so let's just say we'll agree to disagree.... I have seen a few articles on the web talking about the 10 things that Apple has done right and the 10 things Apple has done wrong. While I look at some of the items on these lists,
