With OmniFocus for iPad only right away attack the App Store, we haven’t nonetheless had as most time as we would similar to to have use of the focus to the fullest potential. My primary communication has, however, been positive. Costing the rsther than high $39.99, OmniFocus for iPad brings an additional professionally labelled apparatus for professionals in to the App Store iPad arena.

OmniFocus offers the approach to emanate to-do lists upon steroids. You can brainstorm out ideas, afterwards begin organizing as well as classifying them in to apart projects, tasks, as well as “contexts”; contexts concede we to have tasks applicable to where as well as when we have been operative upon things. Items associated to operative during home will not land in to your “Office” context, for example.

Here’s an engaging stat — 26% of a video upon a Web is iPad-ready, according to Mefeedia, a organisation which presumably monitors online video around a Internet. You might consider that’s low (that equates to 74% of a web can’t be seen upon a iPad), though which series essentially represents a great volume of growth, as usually a meagre couple of months ago, usually 10% of Web video was iPad-accessible, or encoded in H.264 or HTML 5, not Flash.

Mefeedia additionally says which many brand brand new video is accessible in HTML 5 — it’s some-more or reduction a repository which haven’t been converted over yet. The consult itself encompasses over 30,000 opposite sources, from partnered sites similar to Hulu, CBS, as good as ABC, as good as renouned video sites similar to YouTube as good as DailyMotion. Mefeedia says it expects to “see a brand brand new turn of engagement” with online video, as good as which when which swell of seductiveness comes, it’ll be upheld by HTML 5. Adobe substantially won’t similar to conference that, though afterwards again, they’ve still got a large infancy of a video, so you theory it’s up to them to remove it.

The emanate presents itself when we pulp in to Mail.app or Mailplane. Instead of regulating your elite format for screenshots, a images have been pasted as a TIFF file. Several TUAW staff members were means to replicate this upon 10.6.4, though it does not appear to have been function in 10.6.3. If we pulp in to Preview.app instead, your picture format welfare seems to be honored. [May usually be inspiring a subset of users, see refurbish below.]

While there’s zero innately wrong with TIFF as a pasteable format, it does meant that your screenshot pastes might be a lot incomparable than we expect. It additionally might adversely start a capability of iPhone/iPad users to see a screenshots we pulp in to emails.

There have been many opposite picture formats that we can select for screenshots (BMP, GIF, JPG, JP2, PSD, SGI, TGA, PDF, PICT, PNG, or TIFF, to be precise) though many people substantially make make make use of of of JPG or PNG. You can find out that we make make make use of of of by starting to Terminal.app as well as typing (or copy/paste):

 defaults review com.apple.screencapture sort 

You can additionally make make make use of of of a 3rd celebration apparatus such as OnyX to shift your screenshot format setting, or do it around Terminal:

 defaults write com.apple.screencapture sort XXX

where XXX is a single of a sorts listed above. You will afterwards possibly have to logout or restart Finder (control+option/alt+click a Finder idol as well as select Relaunch) to have a shift recorded.

We’re meddlesome to see how many folks can transcribe this. Try these steps:

1) transcribe a screenshot to a clipboard
2) switch to Mail.app as well as pulp it (you might have to essentially send a picture to someone to see what format it is in)
3) switch to Preview.app as well as pulp it, afterwards save it (to see if your picture format welfare is honored)

Did we get a same format formula in stairs 2 as well as 3? What chronicle of Mac OS X have been we using? Let us know in a comments.

Update: It looks similar to many of a readers who were means to imitate a outcome had their screenshot format set to JPEG rsther than than a some-more usual PNG; if it’s set to PNG it appears to handle ‘normally’ rsther than than putting TIFFs in a clipboard. Curiouser as well as curiouser.

TeleNav is well known for a phone-based GPS navigation products, sold a AT&T Navigator app for iPhone. The association has over eleven million subscribers to a services, so it has a lot of interpretation to differentiate by to find engaging place poke trends.

That interpretation showed which GPS place searches helped a lot of guys keep from removing in low difficulty with their poignant others in a duration surrounding Valentine’s Day. Mark Burfeind of TeleNav tells us which they put together all a florist as well as flower-related GPS searches in their products around Valentine’s Day, over eleven million users total, as well as “found which GPS might have come to a rescue for final notation shoppers.” Among a engaging finds:

• During Valentine’s Week (Feb. 8 – 14), searches for flowering plants increasing some-more than 5.5 times over a previous, non-holiday week of Feb. 1 – 7.
• In fact, searches upon Valentine’s Day alone outnumbered searches for a complete week of Feb. 1-7.
• It looks similar to GPS might have helped a little people get out of a “doghouse” following Valentine’s Day. Searches for flowering plants by TeleNav’s users a Monday following Valentine’s Day were twice as tall as those upon an normal Monday.

How about you, TUAW reader? Did we make use of your a one preferred iPhone navigation app to find flowers, candy, or an accessible grill advance booking for Valentine’s Day? Leave us a criticism as well as let us know if your iPhone’s GPS saved a day.

Here’s an engaging demo video from Comcast which facilities an iPad as a remote carry out with a couple of extras. In a demo, Comcast’s Brian Roberts shows how to have use of a app to poke for programming (both TV as well as On Demand), shift channels as well as even module a Comcast DVR. Pretty neat.

Once interconnected with your wire box, simply crop a TV report or a On Demand options. To burst to a show, simply daub a name as well as presto! The wire box changes channels. Likewise, we can daub an On Demand underline to begin it playing. The set of keys will have acid a lot simpler (think Apple’s Remote app with a Apple TV).

What’s unequivocally tidy is a call in feature. If you’d similar to to watch a uncover with an iPad-wielding friend, we can send an call in to his iPad (as prolonged as he’s set up with Comcast as well as a app, of course). A summary appears upon his iPad (”Frank has invited we to watch “LOST.” ) All he needs to do is daub accept as well as his TV will switch to which show. Neat.

This is usually a demo as well as there’s no report upon when it’ll be available, though we’re fervent to try it out. we reminds me of a days when we could shift TV stations with my Newton. Sort of.

It’s value observant which both a large US heavenly body TV providers, Dish Network as well as DirecTV, already have iPhone apps for DVR carry out as well as scheduling. Mike R. reports which he has successfully used a Dish app upon his iPad to shift channels as well as module his heavenly body box, most to a entertainment of his family.

When it comes to coverage of a Big Apple’s media industry, however, it customarily finds a mark.

That’s because this week’s Post story about NBC Universal as well as Time Warner pulling behind upon bettering streaming video libraries for iPad is value a second look.

The square suggests which conjunction of a media giants is meddlesome in putting in a bid to step divided from Flash as well as emanate HTML5-savvy streaming websites, observant which Flash stays dominant, as well as a bid to modify their libraries isn’t value it. Contrast this with CBS as well as ABC’s fervent jump onto a iPad, as well as a stability signs which NBC-owned Hulu is formulation an iPad app.

I do not disbelief which both TW as well as NBC would similar to to see Apple turn a small reduction widespread in a media landscape, though what’s uncanny about this story is which it implies which a “extensive video libraries” which both companies reason aren’t already wholly iPad-friendly. Sure, a player interface might be Flash upon their websites, though a calm itself is really most iPad as well as iPhone concordant as H.264 video files. Of course, both companies have been happy to sell their programs by a iTunes store, nonetheless which hasn’t regularly been a box for NBC.

With this not-quite-sensical disregard for a iPad’s video prospects, where does which leave us? Is a Hulu app right away programa non grata? Will you be close out of TNT for a brand new Apple TV? Don’t know, can’t say… yet.
