.Mac, MobileMe… Not Yet Ready for Prime Time?

ByMike Moffit

Apple officially released MobileMe, iPhone 3G and the iTunes Apps Store today, but users are experiencing some trouble accessing Apple’s website.

.Mac has been killed to make way for MobileMe, so the URL www.mac.com greets you with the following message:

Similarly, its replacement, www.me.com, gives you the following message:

Apple’s servers are undoubtedly getting hammered today, so access to the iTunes Apps store and iPhone pages have been slow. The $9.99* update, released for the iPod touch, is listed as available, but the server is down at the moment.

We’re anxious to check out all that’s new, so we’ll keep you updated!

*Good news for people like me who never paid the $19.99 for the last update–this bypasses that and brings older iPod touches up to date! 😀

  • Content Aware Fill in Photoshop CS5

    We recently installed Adobe’s newly released “*Creative Suite 5*”:http://cs5.org/ on a few of our machines. One of the first features I was eager to try out was the new “Content Aware Fill” in Photoshop.

    This new feature allows you to make a quick selection within an image, delete it, and automatically fill in a randomized background based on the surrounding elements within the image.

    After tinkering with the new tool for a bit, I found that it worked best with natural organic images, such as the landscape scene featured in the video below. While it does not always do a perfect job, you can reselect pieces of the image after filling, and refill them to make the image more realistic.

    While this tool is not useful 100% of the time, when the situation and image permits, it can save a ton of time!
