Rumors Of iPod Touch With Camera And Microphone

According to this Wired article Apple will possibly be releasing a iPod Touch that will have a built-in camera and a microphone. Based on the article it seems to be a very high chance that they will be releasing it. I think that with the iPod Touch having these capabilities Apple will really broaden their customer base and you will then have many more possibilities with just an iPod Touch.

Using OS X In VMare

Have you even wanted to try out a Mac but just didn't want to throw down a ton of cash to do so? Well there is a way that you can do this using VMware. What VMware does is it creates a virtual machine so that it is like running a computer on your computer. The process of getting OS X up and running in VMware is a tedious process but is well worth it in the end.

Full instructions on how to do this can be found here: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Vmware_how_to.

That wiki page has all of the information that you will need to get OS X up and running in VMware. Also I think that there may be a prebuilt OS X VMware image somewhere out in the torrent world but that was just a rumor that I have heard. I also suggest that if you really do like OS X then go out and buy a Mac.

Macs Can Be A Target Of Viruses Too

Yesterday I was browsing around on the net and went to the How-To Geek site like I do many times throughout the day and seen This article posted on the front page. I have personally always known that you can get viruses on a Mac but a lot of the users don't seem to know this because Apple says in their ads that a Mac cannot get a virus. Like this Mac vs. PC ad that I seen just the other day. I thought that it was kind of cool that I just seen the ad just the other day and now I find this article on the subject of Macs not getting viruses. Even though Mac users do not have to be too worried about getting any viruses now there is still the possibility and as long as Macs keep getting more popular the more exploits and viruses will start to turn up. So be aware of what you are loading onto your machine it doesn't matter if it is a PC, Mac or whatever else you may be using.

Top 5 Free iPod Touch/iPhone Games

Seeing as the iPhone and the iPod Touch are some of the hottest gadgets out right now I thought that I would make a list of my favorite free games that are available in the App Store. I am hoping that from me making a list of my favorite games I can save you some time in searching through the thousands of apps in the App Store.

All of the apps listed below can be found either searching in the App Store on the device or searching the iTunes Store in iTunes.

5. Dactyl: This is a game where you have to touch bombs to defuse them so that they don't blow up but you also can't touch the other bombs that aren't lit or the others will blow up and you then lose. The point of the game it to see how many you can defuse before you make a mistake.

4. MarbleMash: In this game what you have to do is guide a ball through a maze of walls and holes that you can fall through. The point is to get through the maze to this little bear. It can be a very time consuming game with tons of levels so you will never get bored.

3. iShoot Lite: This is mainly a game of strategy and angles. What happens is you are a small tank that is trying to blow up the opposing tanks by lobbing different sorts of missiles. To win you have to get the best score out of 5 rounds.

2. FallingBalls: I have to admit that when I first seen this game I really didn't think that it would be that fun, but I was obviously very wrong indeed. In this game you are a little stick person that has to run away from these balls that fall from the sky. You get points when the balls bounce off of the screen. The main goal is to just see how many you can dodge before you get squashed.

1. Topple: This is a very fun and interesting game. What you do is you have to stack these blocks and try to get them to a certain height without them falling over before the timer runs out. The higher that you can stack the blocks in the time given will give you a better end score.

Well that is just my Top 5 List of games that I have found to be the most fun so far. I am in no way saying that this is an official list but more of a helpful guide. If you have any apps that you would like to suggest for me to try out or suggest to others I would love to hear about them in the comments or you can send me an E-mail at thegeekylife@gmail.com.
