In an effort to coerce the public into believing that Windows Vista really wasn’t a failure, Microsoft released a series of ads featuring the illustrious, and hilarious, Jerry Seinfeld with hopes that the commercials would restore the faith of the non-believers (who may have moved on to better things—like the Church of Apple).

When trying to explain how a particular feature works on a Mac to someone who isn’t in the same room as you, sometimes only a video will do. A handful of applications exist to help you perform this task, but they've all been blown away by a newcomer, ScreenFlow.

I recently bought iWork ’08. I put the DVD into my drive, but when I double-clicked the installer, an error message said, “No default application specified to open the document iWork08.mpkg. Choose application.” Why can’t I install this program?

With all of the console and PC love we found exuding throughout the 2008 Penny Arcade Expo, we wondered if there was any love left for the Mac. (You know, assuming there was any there in the first place.) Not to worry, we found it, bubbling right below the surface.

Take this 3-ounce videocam everywhere, and never miss a shot again.

Criticizing the Mino is easy on paper. The video quality isn’t any better than what your point-and-shoot digital camera can do. It doesn’t look (or feel) like a “real” camera. It doesn’t take standard batteries. But the truth is, none of those things matter once you actually use one.

After the launch of the Creature Creator, some gamers have tittered their way to creating potentially offensive characters, dubbed "Sporn." Since Spore shuffles and deals these millions of player-generated assets into each game, you might encounter Sporn in your own universe.

Over hours of playing Spore for our review, I came across a few bugs, but none were as disappointing as the major graphical bug I cited.

In my adventure through Spore, I've met a lot creatures and logged plenty of space travel. These are just a few pictures of my path from the ocean to space.

Spore sprouts a new world, growing and changing in unexpected ways. Part game, part design program, and always playful, Spore leads you on a journey from tiny creature to colonizer of the galaxy. You create the experience as much as the developers at EA’s Maxis studio; you build the main creature, vehicles, structures, and even adapt whole planets along the way. And your choices determine your path; choosing an herbivore mouth for an early creature might eventually lead you to form a peaceful society that negotiates its way out of trouble.

A developer emailed MacRumors with a sad tale of Apple rejection. His iTunes App Store submission, Pull My Finger, was rejected due to its "limited utility." The app does exactly what you would expect it to do and you can check out the developers demo in the video below.
