The Austin Maker Faire here in Texas has a lot of really cool stuff to look at. So much so that you can miss the small stuff sometimes. Luckily, an eagle-eyed photographer caught this little gem - an Apple Store has apparently opened up at the miniature main street created by the Texas LEGO User Group.
The group managed to put together a town with a layout that included working trains and motors. You can find more of their stuff here.

Crystal Quest is a game that is sure to spark the memories of any long time Mac fan. Sure, you have to go back towards the beginning of color displays on Macs - which was a LONG time ago - but if you’re into a bit of retro gaming on your iPhone or iPod touch, then you’ll want to check out the new version of the App that has been released in the App Store.

For those of you that want to sync your calendar and contacts over the air, but don’t want to pay the $99 a year that Mobile Me requires, there may be a solution for you.
NuevaSync is a service that allows direct, over-the-air, native synchronization of certain smart phones and PDS devices with public PIM and calendaring services including Google Calendar. It works with both the iPhone and iPod touch, and according to Drew, it’s really easy to set up.

This is a fun project from designer Dmitry Zagga. It pokes fun at conceptual design - and if you’ve been around here for any length of time you know that if it’s on thing I enjoy — it’s poking fun.
The project is pretty easy, it involves 4 paper cups, two tooth picks, and an iPod with classic earbuds.
The idea certainly isn’t going to bring the house down volume wise, but it could be an entertaining diversion if you truly have nothing else to do.

So according to a site that just popped up in April, that has no verifiable source, and also can’t seem to spell “blogs” properly, AT&T’s upcoming 3G iPhone tethering plan (which they announced was “coming soon” earlier this month) will be exactly like their current Blackberry plan.
Wow, really?

I’ve tried many of the iPhone Twitter Apps. Twitterlator, Twinkle, and of course, Twitterrific - and none of them have been the right Twitter client for me. Many of them are very flashy, and do much more than I want out of a Twitter App.

Apple could be cutting its production on both notebooks and the iPhone according to Ars Technica. With the current economic downturn that’s not terribly surprising, though.
The news comes from Quanta, a Taiwanese OEM that Apple has outsourced a good portion of its production to. The company is suggesting that Apple may be cutting its notebook production by as much as 30%.

Steve Ballmer spoke on Friday about Webkit, the App Store, and Facebook, making it clear that Microsoft’s long standing policies to innovate by copying what others have already done, is going to continue to be the flagship motto of the company for years to come.

Now that companies have had time to really think about how to respond to the iPhone we’re starting to see some true competition emerge.
The T-Mobile G1 is certainly a contender, and another device that has everyone talking is the upcoming Blackberry Storm. The device is RIM’s answer to the iPhone, and there has been quite a bit of buzz about the device.

The Mophie Juice Pack 3G is finally available and has begun shipping as of yesterday afternoon. The Juice Pack has been something that I have sorely missed since upgrading to the iPhone 3G.
I’m excited to see the new release, and hope that it maintains the same quality as the original version. You can expect a full review here very soon.
