Two days ago Apple announced a 'Rock and Roll' themed music event that shall be held on September 9th. Though the agenda for the event is still a secret to many, we can clearly make a guess that it will focus on the music-side of Apple, that being mainly some new announcements regarding the iPods.

But then again! since its Apple here we are talking about, most of everything that we know and speculate about is composed of nothing but wild guesses. Here we have compiled a list of rumors and predictions for the event, mostly related to the announcements. { Read more... }

Let's say you are a Muslim and you are totally not satisfied with the search filters provided by Google and other search engines. Here comes a search engine named ImHalal that will give you the ease to search the Internet without coming across any content that might be considered as 'Haram' according to the Islamic Law.

For a test, we entered some queries such as Alcohol, Nudity etc and were impressed to see that ImHalal does exactly what it's supposed to, it blocks the query and warns the user since the results for the query may contain Haram content.

If the title makes you think that Microsoft is about to launch a whole new line of self-branded smartphones in October, think again. In fact the buzz is simply about Windows Mobile 6.5, the new touch-friendly mobile OS by Microsoft, which shall be coming to phones in October this year.

Perhaps a new strategy by Microsoft is to advertise the devices that run on its mobile OS platform as Windows Phones instead of labelling them as the traditional Windows Mobile phones. Now this might be a good thing in the sense that since most of the rebranded products and services by Microsoft have gone quite successful so far, this one might too.

Apple's new operating system is out and as advertised earlier, it does include true 64-bit support which is being referred to as K64. As an end-user, one might not need to be worried about the bit-mode of his/her machine, whether 32-bit or 64-bit as Snow Leopard will be able to run applications in either mode.

However, being a kernel developer or a system-level developer, one might need to test something out against the 64-bit kernel in Snow Leopard which is disabled by default on non-server configurations. So here is nifty utility called K64 Enabler that lets you enable/disable the 64-bit kernel of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

For past couple of months, much of the Apple rumor-mill has been grinding stories about a new Tablet and new iPods with camera. Even though still there have been no confirmations about the release of any new products, we still believe that Apple has something in store for us on its 'Rock and Roll' themed event which is to be held on September 9th.

The invitation tagline for the event, "It's only rock and roll, but we like it" clearly suggests that Apple will probably be showcasing a new line of iPods, along with a preview of iTunes 9 but the Apple Tablet won't make an appearance.

The inspiration for the design of MacPress comes from Mac OS X Leopard, and much like the operating system itself, the theme is simple, elegant, classy and stylish.
