A ton of useful ways to optimise the way you use your Mac
First 512 GB SSD
Supertalent is the first manufacturer to release a SSD offering a storage capacity of 512 GB in a 2.5" format.
The FTM12GE25H features 200MB/ s and 160 MB/s in reading and writing modes, respectively. If you are interested by such drive, we would advise you to wait for the first test and get prepare for a rather huge bill. The price of the product from the first reseller having this product in its catalog is 1449.99 USD. Thanks god it includes a 2 years warranty...
A billion iPhone apps downloaded. Coming soon.
Filed under: Cult of Mac, Apple, iPhone, App Store, iPod touch
Could it be Apple has delivered almost a billion iPhone/iPod touch apps (both free and paid)? The answer is a definite yes, and Apple has posted a page counting down (or counting up, really) to the big event. As I write this they're at 928 million apps and change. It's an amazing number, and Apple is celebrating the event with a contest. Fill out a form, no purchase required, and have a chance to win a $10,000US iTunes gift card, an iPod touch, a Time Capsule and a MacBook Pro. Apple will let you enter up to 25 times a day (!) until the billionth app is sold. Gee, I could use an app that could automate all those entries. (Clarification: Downloading an app from now until the contest closes counts as an entry. You can do that 25 times per day.)
Apple also has a link to the top selling free and paid apps (link opens iTunes). FYI, the most popular free apps are Facebook, Google Earth and Pandora. The most popular paid apps are Crash Bandicot Nitro Cart 3D, Koi Pond and Enigmo.
When Apple hits that billionth app it will be a big deal, and stand by for a big blast of publicity and commentary. It will also spark more conversation about the copycats who are jumping in the pool at Microsoft, RIM and Google (Android).
Congrats Apple. How long will it be before you hit 2 billion?

Help App Store Reach 1 Billion Downloads
We all know the App Store is a pretty hoppin place at the moment. With thousands upon thousands of apps being downloaded daily, it never ceases to amaze. Now, Apple is wanting to reach a steep plateau…1 billion downloads (say that with a Dr. Evil voice).
Of course, Apple is going about this is a pretty cool way. They’re holding a contest, and when you download one of their featured apps you’re automatically registered to win. The winner will receive a $10,000 iTunes Gift Card, an iPod touch, a Time Capsule, and a MacBook Pro. For more details click the link below.

Second generation Blu-ray ships for Mac
Filed under: Hardware, Peripherals
MCE Technologies announced today that they are shipping their second generation Blu-ray drives for Macintosh computers. These drives, which come in both external housings and internal models for Mac Pro desktops start at $399US. They are the fastest and most comprehensive Blu-ray drives available for the Mac so far. Last summer, MCE released their first generation of Blu-ray drives.The will burn at 8X for Blu-ray, 16X for DVD R/RW + DL, 40X for CD-r/RW, 5X for DVD-RAM and HD DVD-ROM. Some models support HP Lightscribe for burning labels onto appropriate disks. All the drives are natively compatible with OS X 10.5.2 or later, and can record directly from within the finder without any specialized software.
Blu-ray movie discs and content can be created with Adobe Premier Pro, Roxio Toast 10 Pro, and Final Cut Pro.
Since Steve Jobs was famously for Blu-ray before he was against it, Apple has not included any Blu-ray hardware in stock Macs, but the OS as mentioned supports burning data discs. Unfortunately, you can't view a Blu-ray movie on a Mac unless you are running Windows XP or Vista under Boot Camp.
