Saving icons for preserved color accuracy in Mac OS X Snow Leopard
Sep 03, 2010 - 8:15 PM - by ModYouri News
ModYouri News's Avatar Click the image to open in full size.

If you’ve ever created an icon for an app in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, you may have noticed that the colors are represented slightly differently, and sometimes a bit washed out or saturated after you save them. Apparently this is because of Snow Leopard’s color management and how it handles colorspaces.

Have no fear, there is a solution! The folks at Panic Software (creators of my favorite FTP client, Transmit) have a solution to accurately save icons in Snow Leopard, and it goes something like this:

  • Within PhotoShop click on “Edit” and go down to “Convert to Profile
  • Select “Generic RGB Profile”
  • Now “Save for Web” and make a Generic RGB PNG of the icon (be sure to uncheck “Convert to sRGB”)
  • Drag the new color-corrected PNG file into Icon Composer, and save
Now your icon should render colors exactly as intended with the proper Generic RGB profile applied to it.

It's no good buying an eCoupled inductive charger if it won't work with your Powermat, or your Touchstone. Non-standard chargers suck, so we're glad to see that the Global Qi wireless power standard has been released, and the first products have been announced. A number of companies, Nokia and RIM to name but a few, have signed on their support, with Energizer stepping up first with the Energizer Inductive Charger.... [Read More]

iTunes 101: Using the Album Art widget
Sep 03, 2010 - 8:15 PM - by ModYouri News
ModYouri News's Avatar Click the image to open in full size.Here's a cool new feature in iTunes 10 that we haven't mentioned yet: when listening to any song in your library, you can double click on the album art window in the lower left hand corner to detach it from the main window and see it full size. That's not new -- you could get a closer look at the art in previous versions of iTunes. But what is new is that when you mouse over that detached art, you now get full QuickTime-style controls for your tracks. You can then minimize the main window (using those weirdly-aligned buttons, of course), and then just control the music directly from that square widget (which can also be resized any way you want).

Pretty neat, and somewhat hard to find if you don't usually zoom in to see your album art full size. This replicates some (not all) of the functionality provided by CoverSutra and a number of other "iTunes controllers," so it looks like Apple has (yet again) decided... [Read More]

iOS 4.1 features: HDR photos
Sep 03, 2010 - 7:40 PM - by ModYouri News
ModYouri News's Avatar Click the image to open in full size.

iOS 4.1 adds HDR photo capability to the iPhone — and now iPod touch — Camera app. HDR stands for high dynamic range and usually involves a photo with one or more identical photos that are over and under exposed and then combined together so that far more light and shadow information is available than a single exposure would allow. These high dynamic range images can then be tone mapped to provide a far greater amount of detail, far more like what the human eye can see. (That’s my lay person, non-photo geek understanding of it anyway — feel free to tear me apart in the comments, but only if you can explain it better).

So basically, you can see detail in the sky and in the shadow under the tree, rather than having one blown out or the other lost to black.

To enable HDR you simply tap the HDR button, much like the LED Flash button under iOS 4. Then, when you take the picture, iOS takes not only the regular shot but one overexposed... [Read More]

iOS now 3rd most popular internet platform after Windows, Mac
Sep 03, 2010 - 7:07 PM - by ModYouri News
ModYouri News's Avatar Click the image to open in full size.

Net Applications is reporting that iOS has passed Linux to become the third most popular platform accessing the internet. With a 1.1% share, they’re still behind big brother Mac OS X’s 5% and way behind Windows all-encompassing 91.3% share. However, for a mobile OS, especially considering the next most popular mobile OS, Android, is at 0.2%, that’s a fairly huge accomplishment. According to Vince Vizzaccaro, VP of NetApps:
“Whatever the sales are, we’re seeing iOS totally dominate the market on the Web. iOS has nearly a 6:1 advantage over Android.”

Eh. Given the high adoption rate of greeks and mainstream now, Android will probably catch up quickly. Linux probably won’t. Mobile as a whole is on a tremendous growth curve.

TUAW Review: Twitter for iPad
Sep 03, 2010 - 7:07 PM - by ModYouri News
ModYouri News's Avatar Click the image to open in full size.As soon as the official Twitter app for iPad (free) hit the App Store, you could tell that it was going to be a controversial app. Immediately, the twitterverse was filled with people either commenting on how much they loved the innovative and unique user interface, and others ranting about how much they despised the UI. One of our bloggers said that she enjoyed the new features of Twitter for iPad so much that she "wanted to have a cigarette after I was done, and I don't even smoke." On the other hand, TJ Luoma reported in his first look at the Twitter app that "... judging by most of the comments of people that I follow on Twitter, the initial reaction is definitely one of 'too...

Are the new iPod nano and Apple TV running iOS?
Sep 03, 2010 - 6:17 PM - by ModYouri News
ModYouri News's Avatar Click the image to open in full size.

Apple introduced a new iPod nano this week with a multitouch screen, and a new Apple TV with an A4 chipset, but didn’t make clear if either or both were running iOS. Unlike iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, where they shout iOS from the rooftops, they’ve historically kept mum about iPod and Apple TV OS.

iPod nano looks like it’s running iOS. It has an iOS-like user interface with a subset of iOS-like... [Read More]

TUAW's Daily App: Mirror's Edge

Usually, we like to use this space to highlight developers and apps that could use a little more exposure, not call out big-budget titles from developers like Electronic Arts. But this one's worth it -- Mirror's Edge is a pretty terrific, completely original translation of the plaforming game that arrived on consoles last year. It was out on the iPad at launch earlier this year, and now the game has made its way to the iPhone, bringing Retina Display graphics and the same well done gameplay.

Out of all of the "major" game publishers, EA has shown Apple quite a bit of love in the past, and this is probably the company's best original (in mechanics, if not actually name or premise) title for the iOS platform. It's a real shame that it took so long for this one to make it around to the... [Read More]

PadTab lets you hang your iPad on any flat surface
Sep 03, 2010 - 6:02 PM - by ModYouri News
ModYouri News's Avatar I get a lot of use out of my iPad for all sorts of stuff from surfing the web on the couch to reading books. I know some folks like to use the thing a lot for recipes in the kitchen and so on too. Once Hulu Plus lands for us all I will probably use the thing to watch some of my favorite TV shows.

If you want to mount your iPad on the wall or another flat surface in your home like the fridge, a new mount system called the PadTab has surfaced. The PadTab appears to be a plastic tab of some sort that interlocks with a squareish wall tab. The wall tabs are small and can be painted to match your wall to blend in with the décor.

If you have a home automation system that has an iPad app to control it, this might be the perfect way to mount the iPad as a wall control. The Wall Tab has an industrial strength adhesive so you can mount it without having to drill. Each kit will cost you $29.99 and includes two WallTabs. Shipping of the PadTab system starts today.

Samsung Galaxy Player 50 hands-on

Remember how Samsung downsized the Wave to make the Wave 723 and killed off the pricey, fancy Super AMOLED display in the process? Yeah, well, the same rule applies to the Android-powered Galaxy line -- so if you were hoping to see some mind-blowing contrast ratios on Sammy's new PMP... well, you can just keep on hoping (and besides, even the mighty Tab has gone the TFT route for now). The Galaxy Player 50 is pretty cute in the flesh, featuring a 3.2-inch WQVGA LCD with multitouch capability, Android 2.1, and your choice of 8GB or 16GB worth of internal storage with microSD expansion up to 32GB. It's also packing a 2 megapixel cam on back and support for 802.11n -- and heck, like the... [Read More]
