Apple again offering discounts on iPhoto print products

Now that we're in June, most high school college graduation ceremonies have taken place. If you're a new college graduate, you're probably worried about your future and finding a job, and if you're a high school graduate, you're thinking about college this fall. But no matter where you're graduating from, you're definitely worried about one thing: the time-honored tradition of hitting friends and relatives up for money, and saving what you have for future trouble-making. Luckily, Apple is willing to help you out on the money-saving part. Back in April, the company offered a 20 percent discount on photo books and calendars for Mother's Day, and TUAW recently spotted the return of the discount for the next few weeks.

Mars lander scientists to try last soil shake

It is summer. You're traveling. Most importantly, you're hungry. You're in a time pinch and you're not sure what to take on the airplane or your car while you're on the road. Sometimes visualization is the key to healthful eating. Most of the items above ...

Nike + iPod Sensor review

There’s no doubt that music is a great motivator and, when we do indulge in pounding the streets, we’re never without our trusty MP3 player. We’re also keen to know just how far we’re running, the pace we’re keeping and, of course, the all important calories we’re burning (we don’t just run for fun, after all). Usually this would involve carrying a separate device, which only weighs us down. With the Nike + iPod Sensor system, however, we can have it all.

The US Greatest Hits Range For PS3

"In Japan, they're already out. In Europe, they're on their way. But what of America's line of budget, re-released PS3 games? Well, they're also on their way. Here's a first look at the Greatest Hits Line's initial run of titles, lifted from a new K-Mart entertainment catalogue. Only three titles are pictured (the rest being PSP games), but those games are clearly MotorStorm, Resistance and Warhawk."

SHIFT: Is it time to break free of the iTunes straitjacket?

Choosing your music format is like being back in high school — either you’re in, or you’re out. If Apple has its way, you’ll be in, inexorably. Once you’ve committed to the iPod way of life, you’re in for life. Might as well drink the Kool-Aid… you’re not going anywhere. However, as more and more DRM-free options become available, now could be the chance for other players to become contenders since Apple's system depends on it. As other systems get easier to use, iPods suddenly seem cumbersome and restrictive.

Firefox 3 Is Ready. Sorta. Kinda.

We love living on the edge. We sometimes take a chance and drink milk from a carton so old that the lost child pictured on it has already been found. We've even been known to participate in beta tests of buggy software. But we're a little leery of monkeying around with web browsers until they're finished, because we don't even trust them not to tell gangsters all our passwords even when they're working properly. So even though Mozilla calls the latest work-in-progress iteration of the Firefox browser a "release candidate," instead of a "beta test," we're going to let some other brave soul monkey around with it until it's ready. Someone like Lifehacker, with their Top Ten Firefox 3 Features. We like number one a lot:

Chip Zoller writes "This community took note when the International Music Score Library Project shut down last October, and when Project Gutenberg stepped in to help three days later. I would like to alert you all that our site, IMSLP, has re-opened to the public for good after a 10-month hiatus. All the news updates in the interim can be found linked to the main page. We take great pride in re-opening as it demonstrates our willpower to make the masterpieces of history free to the world; and moreover to make manifest that we will not be bullied by publishers sporting outrageous claims of copyright in a country where they clearly are expired."

Photoshop CS3 : Precomps

IFPI Forces Music Offline, Even Though Copyright Holder Wanted It Shared

When challenged on what they're doing, organizations like the RIAA and the IFPI will often claim that they're just trying to help musicians. That's obviously untrue, as they represent the record labels -- who have a long history of an antagonistic relationship with the musicians they work with. We're seeing more and more cases where this conflict is being made quite clear as the RIAA and IFPI attacks fan actions that the musicians in question would prefer be left alone. Reader Xavier sends in this example of a music blogger who received a cease and desist from the IFPI that not only contained numerous mistakes, but was disputed by the musician himself.

Why Linux is Not for You: The Lengthy Rebuttal of a Linux User

IconPut yourself in his/her shoes. You're a budding young technical writer and the one word you hear popping up in almost every tech-related conversation is, you guessed it, Linux. Now look in the mirror and try to tell yourself you're more than a writer. After all, you write about technology because it not only interests you, but you're accurate and fair enough to tell it like it is. Maybe not.

Blog gives women power over harassment

Most women have probably experienced the following scenario at one time or another: You're walking down the street minding your own business. Perhaps the weather is nice, and you're in a good mood because you're wearing a fun new outfit. Suddenly, your reverie is interrupted by a whistle and a "Hey, baby, lookin' gooood!" from a male stranger who, unbeknownst to you, has been admiring your female form from afar.

Futurama: Bender's Game DVD Preview

The second Futurama DVD hasn't even stopped spinning in our drives and we're already looking forward to the third one. It's a much geekier affair than even Futurama fans are used to, as they're delving into the world of Dungeons and Dragons. Will this Ender's Game Futurama movie be any good? We're pretty sure it will, seeing as the Kirk and Spock heads are back, and that was probably one of the best episodes ever.
