Controller Chopper 2 for Mac with iPhone
Nov 30th
The Mac version of Chopper 2 will allow you to use your iPhone/iPod Touch as the controller. Controlling a Mac game with a iPhone/iPod Touch isn’t new but it hasn’t been used much. I did a review of the pinball Mac game controlled with a iPod Touch. It’s something that is really exciting to me. The way all these devices interact just add to the experience.

Nov 18th
TJ Maxx will be offering the iPad on Black Friday for $100 off. I’m sure there will be limited quantities but getting a iPad for $399 will surely bring big crowds. Why aren’t others doing door busters like this.

Don’t Forget About the Beatles in iTunes, Create a Calendar Event
Nov 16th
“A day you’ll never forget”. I know I’ll forget though. But I’m here to help you remember for the rest of your life the day the Beatles showed up in iTunes.
1. Open up iCal.
2. Select November 16th at 9am CST.
3. Add a new event. You can see from the screen shot below.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to make it occur every year and to expire never.
Now you will have a reminder every year when the Beatles came to iTunes.
iTunes Special Announcement Tomorrow
Nov 15th
“Tomorrow is just another day. That you’ll never forget.” That’s what is posted on the front page of apple.com. To take over the front page of Apple it must be something big. There are a couple rumors that hold some ground about what is coming. The first is the Wall Street Journal is saying the Beatles will be coming to the iTunes store. The second is iTunes live streaming is coming.
A day I will never forget won’t be the Beatles coming to iTunes. If you are truly a Beatles and iTunes fan you probably already imported their music.
The iTunes live streaming is something that will change things. They bought lala, which they haven’t done anything with. They also have a brand new datacenter they haven’t fired up. It could be the time that they put those to good use by offering cloud storage for our iTunes libraries.
We will know for sure tomorrow.
