Tokyo and New York – MotionPortrait, a Japanese entertainment solutions company whose technology can instantly convert a picture into 3D computer graphics with interactive 3D animation, is proud to announce HauntedFace and ZombieBooth’s occupation of the Harrowing Halloween Apps section in the iTunes App Store. Due to a lack of media coverage by mainstream media networks, limbo-imprisoned spirits and brain-starved zombies have resorted to spreading their message through Apple devices to show the world that they have an equal right to the basics of survival, and the only difference is in their diet, much like vegetarians. Outraged that they cannot go to the grocery store and purchase food for sustenance, the group now urges iOS owners to join the movement.

Utilizing technology developed by the former engineers at Sony, MotionPortrait have designed HauntedFace and ZombieBooth apps so humans can reflect on a life outside of their own. In an effort to take a stance against the socioeconomic inequality that plague the lives of zombies and their cohorts, ZombieBooth has signed on to be the official sponsor of the NYC Zombie Crawl that recently took place in the United States. ZombieBooth hopes to spread its vision with like-minded individuals who believe that we can all one day co-exist without society favoring one group over another.

A spokesperson for the movement says, “Zombies and ghosts are willing to co-exist with the human race so long as we provide them with the necessities for survival. They do not want to live a life of violence and they do not want to terrorize humans. Zombies are willing to eat the brains and bodies of the freshly deceased and ghosts are willing to only inhabit bodies for 12 hours each day. It may seem scary at first, but really, they assured us that it will all be okay.” ZombieBooth features over 50 ghastly variations of the undead, each with the ability to blink, scowl, breathe and growl erratically or as the user interacts with them. HauntedFace for iPhone and iPod touch transforms 2D portrait images into frighteningly realistic 3D ghosts.

Bear witness as faces twist, jerk, and collapses into a multitude of ghastly spirits who have been impatiently awaiting for a suitable host to possess. For both apps, users can save photos and record videos of their chilling encounters with friends on Facebook, Twitter, or e-mail.

Device Requirements:. iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.

Requires iOS 3.0 or later. 17.9 MB Pricing and Availability: ZombieBooth 2.01 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category.

Yves Mailhot Author At Kiosk Software For Mac

Coldbrook, Canada – Just last month Daniel released his first app, Mine Sweeper II. His game takes you through 10 levels that get progressively harder.

Passing the fourth stage becomes pro gamers’ pride to be able to accomplish. Daniel warms you up, and then gives you a challenge. His incredible graphics design keeps the game engaging, as does the “electro thud” background music. Most boys stop fighting when they turn 16. However Daniel, 26, is still arguing with his brother Steve as to who is the best crack at Mine Sweeper. Dan’s parents made him and his brother memorize Bible verses to play on the computer when they were little. Daniel, the lousy memorizer had to step aside and let his brother take over the computer.

His brother, Steve, is “the best memorizer I know,” says Daniel. In a final effort to get even with Steve, Daniel made a Mine Sweeper II app for the iPhone that boasts having the best graphics and challenge better than most Mine Sweepers. The game uses Open Feint to rank players based on the time it takes them to complete each level. Daniel’s Mine Sweeper has been featured on Harvey’s iPhone App Cafe and Mobers. Harvey says “all in all, it’s a simple and very effective game”.

Playing Mine Sweeper has brought Daniel closer to his brother, opening up his heart to the fact that his younger brother has always been there for him, despite their differences. Looking to the future, Daniel is looking forward to creating more games, definitely not with the same spite that inspired him in the first place with this one. Device Requirements:. iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 3.0 or later.

17.2 MB Pricing and Availability: Minesweeper Maniac 1.0 is only $0.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Minesweeper II (v1.1) is only $0.99 and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Free versions for both Minesweeper Maniac 1.0 and Minesweeper II (v1.1) are available. Daniel Massicotte has been making iPhone apps since 2011 and has no intention of slowing down. He pursues game making with passion and a love for games.

Cleaner Palms I’ve been syncing a Palm T3 with my PowerBook for a couple of months, and I now have duplicate entries on my Palm and the computer. How do I wipe the entire calendar clean on the Palm and then write just from the computer to the Palm?— From the Macworld.com forums You have two options for wiping the Palm clean. One option is to disable syncing in iSync for all the devices from which you don’t want data erased—an iPod and a mobile phone, for example—and then choose Reset All Devices from iSync’s Devices menu. In the resulting dialog box, you can choose to replace the data on the remaining devices with the information on your Mac. Select Reset All, and your next HotSync will vaporize the contact and calendar data on the Palm and replace it with the information you’ve chosen to copy from Apple’s Address Book and iCal.

The other option is to remove your Palm device from iSync and then add it back using HotSync Manager. When you do so, you’ll see that the iSync window associated with the Palm lets you opt to erase data on the Palm during the first sync. To accomplish this, select the Palm in iSync and choose Remove Device from the Devices menu. Launch HotSync Manager (inside the Palm folder within your Applications folder). Choose Conduit Settings from the HotSync menu, select iSync Conduit in the resulting Conduit Settings window, click on the Conduit Settings button, enable the Enable iSync For This Palm Device option, and click on OK. The Palm will reappear in iSync.

Click on it, and you’ll see that a new For First Sync pop-up menu appears. Choose Erase Data On Device Then Sync from this pop-up menu.

Initiate a HotSync, and the contact and calendar information you’ve chosen to copy from Address Book and iCal will overwrite the data on the Palm. One more bit of advice: If your Palm device doesn’t work properly with Palm Desktop, take a look at Mark/Space’s $40. When Palm drops support for synchronizing your Palm in OS X (as it plans to do with future versions of Palm Desktop), The Missing Sync will be the way to coordinate your Palm and your Mac. Pushing Print How do I create a Print button in Safari’s Address Bar?— Noel Espinosa A simple JavaScript will do the job. Just type javascript:window.print in the Address field and drag the globe next to the field into the Bookmarks Bar. Enter a name for the script ( Print, for instance) and click on OK.

When you click on the new button, the Print sheet will appear. You can use the same method to open a new browser window—type javascript:window.open.

Theme Scheme In iMovie 4 and iDVD 4, how can you export a short iMovie to DVD without using built-in themes, chapter markers, and menus?— Dick Faris You’ll need to make some adjustments to an iDVD theme and export your movie from iMovie without using the latter’s iDVD tab. To make a completely themeless theme, create a white graphic file with a 4:3 aspect ratio—I do this by using Command-shift-4 to take a screenshot of a portion of a blank text document. Launch iDVD, click on the Customize button, and choose the Green Linen One theme. Click on the Settings button and drag your white graphics file into the Background field. Click on each text box in the theme and press the delete key. In the Text portion of the Customize drawer, select No Title from the Position pop-up menu. You now have a blank theme.

Click on the Save As Favorite button at the bottom of the drawer to save your theme. In iMovie, open the movie you want to export and then select Share from the File menu. Click on the QuickTime tab, choose Full Quality DV from the Compress Movie For pop-up menu, click on the Share button, and name and save your movie in the resulting Save dialog box. You can now drag the movie file you exported into iDVD’s main window to add it to the project. If the point of your project is to create a looping kiosk presentation that the viewer can’t skip over, click on iDVD’s Map button, drag your movie into the box farthest to the left in the DVD Map window, and choose Loop Movie from the Advanced menu (see screenshot). This first box is generally reserved for the FBI warning material that automatically plays on commercial DVDs—a graphic or bit of video that a DVD player’s fast-forward or skip controls can’t influence.

When you loop your movie, it will play over and over again. Photo Finish Can I import the still images I make in iMovie as photos to iPhoto or Adobe Photoshop?— Yves Nadon Absolutely, but the resulting pictures will be slightly pixelated.

If you have the option of using an original still from a digital camera, do so. If not—say, if the only picture you have of your dear departed armadillo is from a movie—follow this procedure: Move iMovie’s playhead to the frame you want to export, and choose Save Frame As from the File menu. In the resulting sheet, name your picture, save it as a JPEG file, and click on Save. You can save it as a PICT file rather than a JPEG, but frames exported as JPEGs are less pixelated than their PICT counterparts.

Variable Volume Is it possible to format a partition on an external FireWire hard drive so that both a Mac and a Windows PC can open files on that drive?— Sam Gerstenzang If you mean “carve up the hard drive so that one partition is formatted as a Windows NTFS volume and another is formatted as a Mac OS Extended volume,” I haven’t come across a scheme that works. You can, however, take advantage of OS X’s tolerance of Windows’ FAT32 format to create a hard drive that’s compatible with both Mac OS and Windows.

To format such a hard drive, plug it into your Mac and launch Disk Utility (Applications: Utilities). Click on the FireWire drive’s name (the entry that lists the drive’s manufacturer rather than the name you’ve given the drive) in the first pane of the Disk Utility window, and then click on the Erase tab. Choose MS-DOS File System from the Volume Format pop-up menu and click on the Erase button.

This formats the drive as a FAT32 volume that will mount on both the Mac and a Windows PC. This technique has a couple of gotchas you should be aware of.

The first is that the Mac won’t recognize more than 128GB of storage on the drive if it’s formatted this way, so don’t bother purchasing a humongous drive. Second, Windows won’t let you use certain characters when naming files. They include the question mark (?), square brackets ( and ), slashes (/ and ), equal sign (=), plus sign (+), angle brackets , semicolon (;), quotation mark ('), and comma (,). Windows NT Server also demands that you not end a file or volume name with a period or a space. Alternatively, you can force the PC to recognize a Mac OS Extended volume by installing Mediafour’s $50 on the PC. This utility allows Windows PCs to mount drives formatted for the Macintosh.

Sidebar: Tip of the Month Full-Screen QuickTime The free version of QuickTime Player will not play full-screen movies—unless you know this trick. Launch AppleScript’s Script Editor (Applications: AppleScript) and enter the following script: tell application 'QuickTime Player' activate present end tell Then save the script as an application. Open a movie file in QuickTime Player and run the script by double-clicking on it. Your movie will fill the screen.— Nathaniel Black Sidebar: Unsolicited Advice Miraculous iTunes AirPort Express—Apple’s portable wireless base station, which can also stream music between an AirPort-enabled Mac and your home stereo—is darned close to a miracle. But its miraculous musical nature so overwhelms some people that they fail to explore the cooler capabilities provided by iTunes. For example, you can stream music stored on an iPod attached to your Mac by flipping that iPod into Manual mode (via the iPod Preferences window), selecting a song or playlist on the iPod, and clicking on iTunes’ Play button.

You can also create an EQ setting in iTunes so that when music streams to your stereo, music with that EQ will play on its remote speakers—a real boon if you have speakers that need a little nudge on the low or high end. Finally, if you have a music recorder of some kind attached to your stereo—a Minidisc or cassette deck, for example—you can use it to record music streamed from the Internet radio stations included with iTunes.
