Skype has become a popular app for the iPhone, bringing video calling to millions of mobile users. Now the service appears to be heading to Apple’s iPad very soon. After accidentally leaking a video of the new product, Skype confirmed that it’s preparing an iPad app, but has yet to provide a release date. The leaked video shows a very polished product which looks just about ready for release. The app will benefit from the iPad 2’s large screen size and camera, but it will feature much of the same functionality of mobile and desktop clients. One item that’s missing is file sharing, and that’s…

There is little doubt that the self-perception of “Mac people” and “PC people” are often completely different, just as the way they look at their counterparts differ. Still, it’s surprising to see just how much difference there is in these perceptions. This graphic by our friends at Hunch breaks down the debate that has been raging for over a decade. Are you a Mac or a PC? Or neither? The debate will go on as long as both computer types dominate the marketplace. Click to enlarge. …

Maybe not. Apple has now officially announced WWDC 2011, and the rumours are flying out of the mill faster than can be caught. Though Jobs n’ Friends have promised a ‘preview of the future of iOS and Mac OS X’,it remains to be seen whether or not any hardware will be making the scene. The iPhone 5 might be a no-show – and according to the Loop, that’s a guarantee. Can WWDC be a rockin’ good time without a hardware announcement? Obviously an iPad 3 is an impossibility, as the second generation’s been out less than a month… or maybe it’s been a month. Time flies, y’know. Macs are approaching the morgue in…

Depending on which side you take in the conflict eternal between PC and Mac, this is either an enormous fail or win. Seems some PC-critical convenience store worker must’ve taken his vehement fanboy-ism to work when he decided to place these magazines. Yeah, it’s an old photo (a sneak peek at Leopard, lolol), but it’s new to the greater internet, so deal. Thanks, Failblog!…

So the Mac App Store won’t have demos. How about that. Demos, trials and ‘Lite’ versions are hugely popular on iOS, helping drive sales – but the Mac App Store is having none of that bullspit up in hurr. Apple is pretending they’re still down with demos, at least in concept, as indicated by a statement made in the announcement: Your website is the best place to provide demos, trial versions, or betas of your software for customers to explore. The apps you submit to be reviewed for the Mac App Store should be fully functional, retail versions of your apps. Come on, Steve – that’s a pretty crappy deal. Believe…

I’m confident I’ve used that headline gag before. Whatever. If you’re used to the legend-status security of a Mac, better check your damn self – a security oversight in FaceTime fo Mac could land you with an enormous iTunes bill, if you’re not careful. Seems that in signing into FaceTime for Mac, a user can change one’s Apple ID password to whatever he or she wants (provided it satisfies the password rules) without having to input the old password – leaving your iTunes account up for the taking, assuming your enemy has physical access to your computer. Based on that fact of physical proximity, I don’t…

Strap in, folks. A week today (the 20th, if you don’t wanna hit F4), Apple will be holding a media event dubbed ‘Back to the Mac’. By the image, it would seem we may be seeing a new jungle cat enter the OSX family – Lion. That’s honestly all the info. Just a heads up to save the date, so you can watch Steve jump around and assimilate more buzzwords into Apple’s fold. ‘Magic?’ Please. I’m gunning for something even more spectacular. Like, ‘legendary’. ‘Mythic’. You know, something totally ridiculous. I’m vibrating like it’s Christmas, guys….

It’s been 18 years since AutoCAD ran on Macs, but now they’re back – and boy are they back. After a short period of existing only within the Windows realm, Autodesk is bringing their CAD software back to the Mac. Not only will the new version run on Macs, there will be an iPhone and iPad version too. In what might appear to be a gloomy announcement for Windows 7 and Windows Phone 7, Autodesk is finally acknowledging that a large segment of the high end computer market isn’t choosing the Microsoft route. With the Mac consistently growing it’s market share, it was finally time for a big software name to return…

Microsoft used to be a pretty solid company, but these days they’re as shaken up as Justin Bieber’s hair. In the 80s and 90s Microsoft made money from enterprise, with a few small interests elsewhere. Since 2000, Microsoft has been torn between making money in their traditional area of expertise and invading almost every other tech market out there. The Xbox is considered one of Microsoft’s most successful products, despite the fact that the Xbox division consistently loses money. But nothing is guaranteed to make the hairs on the back of Steve Ballmer’s neck stand up like casually dropping into…

Filemaker, the Mac database maker has announced an iPhone and iPad native client called Filemaker Go. The app will not allow database creation, but will provide users a way to view and edit databases while on the go. Filemaker Go will run most Filemaker Pro databases created in version 7 or later. It’s a hefty task to cram all the power and capability of Filemaker into an iPhone or even an iPad, but the team thinks they’ve done a good job. At $20 and $40 for iPhone and iPad respectively, it’s not exactly dirt cheap, but users of the Filemaker app are normally a dedicated, fanatical bunch, and there’s little…
