Hey Mac Software is releasing an app for iPhone that allows users to browse and transfer files to and from local Macs wirelessly:
Briefcase transforms the iPhone into a user-friendly tool for downloading files and uploading them to another Mac: no cables required, no extra software installation, no network set up.
According to the developer, it’ll be on the App Store this fall for $5.

I recently found that Apple Mail’s autocomplete was suggesting outdated email addresses. These email addresses were not in my Address Book, so I had no idea where Mail was getting them, or how to remove them. Luckily, I found the following solution in a forum post:
“Window” menu > “Previous Recipients”. This opens a list of all your previous recipients. Ever. Some are in your address book; some are not. […] Just select one or all of them and hit “remove from list”.
Interesting. I never noticed that before.

Very cool new service from ImageShack. You point them to the torrent you want, they download it for you, notify you when they’ve got it, and allow you to download the data right through your web browser. No torrent client required, all of the torrenting is done on their end. And, amazingly, it’s free.

An award? Oh golly! I haven’t even prepared a speech. What’s that? No, Kanye West, you didn’t deserve this award. You don’t even develop widgets. Well, I guess I’d like to thank my…
Softpedia guarantees that Pepsi Stuff 1.0.1 is 100% CLEAN, which means it does not contain any form of malware, including but not limited to: spyware, viruses, trojans and backdoors.
What the? That’s it? So, pretty much every legitimate developer wins this award?
Well, regardless of the importance or exclusivity of this award, I very much appreciate the fact that it now gives me the ability to refer to my Pepsi Stuff widget as “award-winning.”

Major update to Boinx Software’s excellent cursor-highlighting software, free for owners of 2.0.
Robert McMillan:
Safari doesn’t make PayPal’s list of recommended browsers because it doesn’t have two important anti-phishing security features, according to Michael Barrett, PayPal’s chief information security officer.
Common sense is the best protection from phishing scams, but it would be nice for Safari to let me know if the site I’m looking at is a known phishing site. In fact, an early version of Safari 3 that was included in pre-release builds of Leopard did exactly that. I have no idea why Apple removed this from the final version of Safari 3, but I suspect it will return soon.

Wal-Mart is now the only retailer who sells more music than iTunes.
Speed bumps, larger HDs, more RAM, and a Multi-Touch Trackpad for the Pro.

It seems that games are currently limited to a 16MB partition. Many of the games available for iPod run well over 16MB. Somehow this no longer sounds very promising. We’re talking about Microsoft here right? The people that make the XBox game console? The people who develop Windows, the OS whose only real strength is gaming? These people are going to let Apple have a better media player gaming platform? Seriously, Microsoft, WTF?
