MacHeist 3 bundle unveiled
The Heist might be over, but the software saving fun is just beginning! Tonight, the MacHeist 3 bundle was revealed in a geek-star studded live show.
This year's bundle is, from a software perspective, really incredible. I love software bundles because they are a great way to get cool stuff, but the problem is, lots of stuff is frequently repeated across bundles, making it less and less exciting for the more seasoned Mac software-addict. This is not a bundle that can be accused of retreading old software; on the contrary, some new (and high profile) apps are available.
This is the line-up:
And knowing MacHeist, I'm sure there will be other surprises to come as the sale takes shape.

TomTom Joins the Open Invention Network
According to the following press release, TomTom joined the Open Invention Network, the company formed to enable and protect Linux and the associated technology patents.
This move is most likely linked to the on-going dispute between TomTom and Microsoft around patent infregements, Redmond's giants claiming hte Dutch company used some if its technology, while the latest is now claiming the opposite. With all those legal action around software concept-linked patents, it is quite obvious that this is a juicy market for lawyers but not necessarily for companies...
The Little Brother of NVidia GeForce 9400M
According to VR-Zone, NVidia will launch a new version of its popular GeForce 9400M.
This chips will be a cheaper version, with less features:
- Support for the DDR3 only
- 8 PCI Express lines instead of 20 for the GF 9400M, so one can not add a second GPU on the board.
- 4 SATA ports instead of 6.
- 1 analog and 2 digital display interfaces.
This chips will of course have a lower clock speed than the GF 9400M, so it will also drain less energy. We are currently thinking that this chip might already be in some Apple products, such as he Mac mini as it features 2 digital display interfaces (HDMI + DisplayPort) while the G9400M does not offer 2 digital interfaces. So it might have been developed for the Mac mini, and only becomes available for all PC integrators now.
In addition, we would not be surprised that Apple use such chip in future entry-level MacBook or iMac as it is pin compatible with the current GF 9400M while being cheaper and most probably not affecting seriously the video performance of such models.
