Well fellow Squarespacers, it's finally here! Apple finally came through and after months of reviewing and accidentally uploading the beta, the real app in live in iTunes.

This app is perfect for a Squarespacer who has a blog or just wants to check their stats on there page. Features include Blog management, site stats, posting blogs, preview, multiple accounts, editing post, even uploading multiple images in real time to your site.

Many users like myself have been waiting for this app to come out and I'm happy to say it's amazingly simple, smooth, and easy to use program that just works. For God sakes if you have an iPhone, check it out because it's FREE. Of course you do need a Squarespace account but if you don't, try the 14 day free trial on the site, and if you want 10% off every monthly payment, use our coupon code t3chh3lp.

As much as i love it, there are three things i wish it would have. First for stats, I wish it would say if the view were unique, page views, or robots like it shows in the picture. Also I am a editor for this site but not Full account, I'm only an add-on and for some reason I can't add it on my accounts. Third I wish i could re-size photos and select where they are in the text rather than have all the photos at the top of the post.

All in all it is a great program I would have easily paid for but because the good people at Squarespace are so nice, it's FREE -- Get it here

Motorola Droid Copying Genesis Adds?

Okay Geek,

I just stumbled upon a friend of mine's tweet and discovered this awesome video back in the day for Sega Genesis. Tell me this doesn't remind you of the Android phone adds against Apple's IPhone just as this video is Sega Genesis Vs. the Nintendo(what ever one was out at the time).

Stream Your Xbox/PS3 Like Slingbox

The Spawn-720 is like a Sling-box for console games, letting you play most systems through a streaming client on you PC. It has been tested and isn't as expensive as some may think.

For those who don't know what a Sling-box is, it's a device that streams your videos from you computer/TV or what ever.

The Spawn HD-720 is great because you can use it to have "local play" over the internet! So does that mean possibly not paying for Xbox Live if you want to play custom games all day with your friends? The system costs about $200 but just like PS3 online, no monthly fees to use their system.

Poll: Most Mac Owners Have Windows Too

Oct 25, 2009

The NPD survey found that at least 12% of US households own a Mac but 85% of those people also own a PC. The weird thing is that most PC owners don't own a Mac. I find most loyal PC users complain with the same problems like its too much or its less developer friendly.

When I look at the video comments for Apple's new Windows 7 commercial, most were from angry PC owners who hated Apple and complained about Apple.

I myself had a PC until I was 12-years-old and then I got a Mac. Now my house has a Mac for everyone in the house so about 5 and 2 PC's.

Do Windows owners hate Apple THAT much?

Apple Already Attacks Microsoft - Mac and PC ad

Oct 23, 2009

Videos

Well we all know that Windows 7 came out today and I'm personally excited to see what the perception is. According to the Podcast "TWIT" (This Week In Tech) it's just as good as Snow Leopard minus a few things. They all agree though its the most secure windows has ever been and should be the best improvement for Windows ever.

Apple though has already released one of their famous commercials and possibly brings up a good point. Check it out for yourself.

Now this commercial is true, I don't really see how you can argue that but I do think we should give Windows a chance and I'm ready to see what they came up with this time.
