With the start of September comes probably one of the most exciting Apple conferences yet, unveiling three new iPod’s, Updates for iOS, iTunes and perhaps most excitingly the new pocket sized Apple TV. So if you haven’t already heard, here’s what’s been released and our thoughts on it all. Oh and just as a warning, [...]
So, following on from our last post, let’s take a look at why being a sys admin on your mac is another thing that makes sense. Your not just limited to Windows if you need to admin, and most tasks can be done on a mac with a third party application, so here are five [...]
I love the iPad, and so do a lot of people, in fact one of the big sets of people that love it, are IT professionals who don’t want to carry the laptop. Despite this, there are quite a few people who use it for the same thing as IT professionals do in the home, so [...]
Amidst all the issues and hype over the iPhone 4′s antenna problem, Apple have come out strong with the surprise press conference. So I’m going to go through what I see in this, and what was said Make no mistake, I am posting this not as an apple fanboy, nor as an apple aficionado, whilst [...]
Contrary to popular belief, none of the staff here at apptacious have an iPhone 4… Yet, in fact since this is now a UK based website we’re feeling the pain along with many of our loyal readers. But recently we’ve noticed that it’s not just low stock everywhere, but in fact, it’s no stock. Almost [...]

Over the years with my iPhone, I’ve spent nearly £200 on various cases and forms of protection for it. Now although I’m careful with my toys, accidents do happen, things knock into your pockets and things slip out of your hand, and whilst I’m lucky enough that I can say I’ve only dropped my iPhone [...]

Scarcely a week after the UK release of the iPad, apple has reviled yet more glass embalmed mutli-touch goodness for us to spend our now dwindling stash of pennies on. But the question remains, are you getting an iPhone 4? The new handset announced earlier this week touts an entirely new flat glass back, full [...]

This blog post was written entirely on an iPad while traveling at speed on an intercity train using Pages for iPad (download in pdf, pages or doc format). Weight The first thing people notice about the iPad is it’s weight, it’s got a lot of girth to it and it definitely feels very solid to [...]

It’s been a relatively long wait in terms of Apple products but the Apple iPad is finally here… sorta. Pre orders are set to start within the next few hours accross the globe, although the UK is still waiting on final confirmation of the price plans for the data. Personally I would not be surprised [...]

The MacHeist Nanobundle is here! At long last another load of goodies for practically nothing! You might remember we posted about the other macheist nanobundle earlier last year, which gave a fantastic bundle of applications… all for free! Ok so this time it’s not free, but come on $19.95 isn’t exactly expensive For your money [...]

From around 6PM GMT tonight the server will experience extended downtime for a number of hours whilst I re-image the server from Debian, to CentOS. I’m doing this for a number of reasons, but it’s mainly to increase security and stability and make up for some of Debians shortcomings! Sorry about the inconvenience

Well it finally happened, most of that objectionable content has now been taken down from the Appstore. Apparently this bold move was accompanied by lot’s of complaints from people who quite clearly didn’t see the age content warnings, and nor did they apparently know about the parental controls in their iPhones (hint, tap settings, restrictions [...]
