NewsBits – MacHeist 3, Obsolete Macs, new Singapore apps
Posted on 8 February, 2009 by Jimmy Liew
MacHeist 3 is back.
A new briefing has been released with new quests and challengers and just to reward MacHeist members, you get ShoveBox, an information manager that lives in your menubar. For the uninitiated, each MacHeist starts off with quizzes and challengers that when completed, sometimes a free app is given to members to download. At the end of the campaign, a bundle of apps is packaged at very attractive price and part of the proceeds are given to charity. So don’t wait, the first brief has been uploaded online.
Vintage and Obsolete Macs
Apple has updated their list of vintage and obsolete products which means these products will not be serviced by Apple Authorized Service Providers (list of Singapore AASP) and that replacement parts will be harder to come by.
