Earlier Posted, Proven Semi-Wrong!

Earlier this week I posted about a glitch in GangStar: West Coast Hustle. This glitch is only partly true, the part about jumping out of the car and being 'beamed' to the top of the building is a glitch. However, the extreme detail of that building is due to the fact that you are required to go on top of the building for a sniping mission.

Snow Leopard is Another Win For Apple!

Throughout history, updating OS's has become a tedious task that would take hours to complete, and for what? A slower, bloated computer that just looks better? Snow leopard has fixed this age-old problem.

To start, leopard was a great OS. Apple could have stayed with this and been fine. But they saw some things that could've been improved and they pounced on it (pun intended). THe first thing you notice when you first start Snow Leopard is the speed. Web pages pop open, with help from Safari 4 and 64-bit computing. Applications open as soon as you click, you have to remind yourself that your using the same computer you had before.

The next thing you notice is the style refinements, exposé has been completely remade, for the better. Switching between windows could never have been easier! Of course it was like that before but now it has been perfected! Another new style enhancement is the dock. It is now integrated with exposé so you can just click and hold an icon on the dock and instantly, only those windows are shown.

One of my favorite new features is Quicktime X. It allows you to easily record your screen. Which is great because I have always been looking for a great screen recorder and could never find the right one for the right price, now I have. QuickTime X also takes advantage of Mac OS X's Core Animation Technology, ensuring unsurpassed speed and playback.

Snow Leopard is the OS for people with disabilities. With features like: trackpad screen (for the blind), braille support, enhanced VoiceOver, faster and easier keyboard navigation, auto webspots, custom VoiceOver labels, more customization options, and the all new VoiceOver Quick Start tutorial. Just another way Snow Leopard is the perfect OS for everyone.

Finally, most of us can relate to this, we use our Mac at home, but at work, we are not so fortunate. That's no problem anymore. Now, all Macs running Snow Leopard come with Microsoft Exchange. Quoting Apple, "Now every day is 'bring your Mac to work' day."

Snow leopard is $29.00 (£17.83) if you have Leopard and is on sale right now.

SPORE ORIGINS $0.99 SALE!!!

SPORE ORIGINS IS NOW ON SALE FOR $0.99, GET IT WHILE THE SALE LASTS!!! But this is a bummer if you spent $9.99 on it like I did.

I have been looking for some time for the perfect Mac screensaver, I have finally found it.

This is the most realistic and real screensaver you are going to get for free. It is called LotsAWater. Basically it simulates rain falling into a puddle of water on your screen, sorry no screenshots for this one because it is impossible to take a screenshot of the screensaver without waking it up, however, I have provided the download link and a youtube demo below.

Gangstar: West Coast Hustle Glitch!!!

This glitch looks like it was intentional by the devs, although the only way to get out of it is to exit the game. It puts you on the top of a building that looks very detailed (on top). Too much to be an accident. This is really hard to explain in text so I recommend you check out this YouTube video. Also, If you haven't gotten this app yet, I HIGHLY recommend it.

Apple Event Scheduled for Wednesday Sept. 9–Music, NO Tablet

Apple Keynote Info leaked on iPod Touch Fans Forum, iPod Touch 3G and Steve Jobs will be there but sorry, no tablet :(

It has happened every September since 2005, and in a few short weeks it will happen once again. Apple (AAPL) is indeed planning a keynote event for the week of Sept. 7, as reported by my colleague, Peter Kafka. And according to sources close to the company, the date is Wednesday, Sept. 9. The event will be held in San Francisco–most likely at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, where it has occurred in years past–and is expected to showcase upgrades to the iPod line and an update to iTunes that may involve some sort of social element. Our sources insist it will not involve any discussion whatsoever of the tablet Apple is reportedly developing. Too bad. It’s looking more and more like we’ll have to wait until 2010 for that. No word yet on who’s to preside over the event. There’s been speculation that it will mark the first public appearance by CEO Steve Jobs since returning from medical leave earlier this year. Our sources have no information on whether or not that will prove true.

Looks like no tablet! Ohh darn. Better make the iPod 3G AMAZING!! Apple better have pulled something outta their @sses to make the iPod better than the competitors!
