Minimal Mac: What Apple Sells...
Apple has never really been in the business of selling product. What Apple really sells is an experience.
What Apple sells begins before you even walk in the door…
It begins before you take out your credit card…
It continues when you get back home…
To when you start it up…
I couldn’t agree more, and its one of the big reasons why I love Apple. Sure, they might not give you enough options with the iPhone and you have to Jailbreak, but in the end, they just want to make the experience the same for everyone.

Banshee for Mac beta
It’s not perfect—certainly not a full iTunes replacement—but it’s an interesting project. In my limited testing, it successfully imported a 6GB iTunes library in place, even managing to play m4ps, although it died horribly on all videos I tested it with. Last.fm support isn’t implemented yet, it didn’t see my iPhone at all, and there are some strange text-rendering bugs, but this project is worth keeping an eye on if you’re looking for an iTunes replacement that doesn’t use Mozilla technology.
Hmm, nice project!

Recognizr, a new Augmented Reality application for Android, uses face recognition to show a person’s social media profiles, simply by pointing the camera at them.
This technology is amazing. I bet it will come to the iPhone for you Mac users soon!
