Apple eyes historic WWII site for Brisbane store
Plans for a renovation of the historic MacArthur Chambers in Brisbane may have revealed a forthcoming Apple Retail store, continue the company's interest in locating some "showcase" stores in historic buildings. Although Apple is not directly mentioned in the application, telltale signs in the application -- including twin glass stores, a "feature staircase" and revamped interior in "shades of white" tipped off alert MacTalk readers. If approved, the store would be the largest in Australia, even surpassing Apple's flagship store in Sydney....

Add fonts to the built-in Stickies widget
The built-in Stickies dashboard widget lets you use a few Apple-selected fonts, but the selection doesn't have very many options. I wanted a way to add other fonts to the Stickies widget. By adding two lines to the code that supports the widget, you can add any font on your computer.
It may be helpful to have some knowledge of HTML and JavaScript, but the procedure is simple enough that you should be able to do it even if you don't have experience with those languages.
The first step is to make a copy of the widget so you're not working on the original. Go to /Library/Widgets and find Stickies. Copy it and paste it into ~/Library/Widgets and name it something else, like StickiesWithFonts.
Close the Stickies widget in your Dashboard; you won't be needing that version anymore.
Next, we begin modifying the code. You'll need a good text editor like TextWrangler ...

Mario clone in App Store, place your bets for how long (Update: It's gone)
UPDATE: Yeah, as tipster Matt told us, this app has been pulled. That only took a few hours.
You gotta be kidding. I am dying to know who, exactly, at Apple is unfamiliar with Mario the plumber. An intern born in the 90s, maybe? At any rate, go grab this platformer featuring Monino, whose brother was captured by Bowler and is being kept in a castle. Sound familiar? It's like a mirror universe, I know.
Given how much the iPod touch and iPhone have been hurting Nintendo's DS sales, we're likely going to have to wait until the Japanese game company stops making hardware altogether to see a real Mario franchise appear on iOS. Until then (and until someone at Cupertino wakes up to an irritated email), you'll have this game. Honestly I'm not wasting the 99-cents on it, as the reviews clearly point out the controls are atrocious. You can't have a decent platformer if the controls aren't responsive, I don't care how gussied up to look like a Nintendo rip-off it may be.
Get it while it still exists, which will probably be a few more hours. They didn't even bother to change Mario's appearance!
Update: Electricpig posted a video as well, which you can see on the next page.
Thanks for the tip, David!

Antec offers Halo 6 LED back-lighting kit for monitors
Long gaming sessions or other extended periods of computer use can be made less fatiguing with an inexpensive LED back-lighting kit retrofitted onto computer monitors, says accessory maker Antec in announcing their Soundscience Halo 6 LED bias lighting kit. The company claims backlighting -- now also popular on some models of HDTV -- helps reduce eye strain, lessen "image contamination" due to glare, and increases image clarity by creating a "halo" of white backlight behind computer monitors....Source: http://feeds.macnn.com/click.phdo?i=dbb2d409c1fbbe9c8232411976ce7d29

With iPad 2, Apple One-Ups Itself
Associated Press reviewer Rachel Metz writes that with the release of a ?skinnier, faster, and slightly lighter? iPad 2, Apple has pulled further ahead of competitors ?with improvements that make an already excellent tablet even more enticing.? Among those improvements, Metz praises the integration of the new front- and rear-facing cameras with FaceTime and PhotoBooth, noticeably faster web surfing and video loading, and the iPad 2 battery, which in tests ?performed like a champ.? She concludes: ?Without question, the iPad 2 is a great tablet. Chances are, it will be the best tablet in town ? at least until the iPad 3 arrives.?

White iPhone 4 now available for sale internationally
The elusive white iPhone 4 is elusive no more. It's already gone on sale internationally; this included screenshot is from Vodafone in New Zealand. The white iPhone 4 is expected to see release in several international markets over the course of the day, with release in the US likely to come within the next few hours.
The white iPhone 4 still hasn't shown up on Apple's own store site yet as of this writing, not even in countries where the handset has already been available from carriers' stores for several hours, but it should be available at the company's US brick-and-mortar stores when they open later today.
If you've been waiting this long for the white iPhone 4 to come out, the good news is your wait is now over. The bad news? The iPhone 5 is probably coming out sometime in the next six months, so if you're the kind of person who has to have the latest and greatest gear, your wait might not be over after all.

Apple: white iPhone 4 delay due to longevity, sensors
Apple Senior VP of Worldwide Product Marketing Phil Schiller in an interview on Wednesday partly explained the reasons behind the 10-month delay for the launch of the white iPhone 4. Confirming many of the earlier suspicions, he explained that there were issues with how the white material's performance "holds up over time," including its resistance to UV rays from direct sunlight. He explained to AllThingsD that there were more immediate issues with sensors that also prevent a straight-ahead color swap....Source: http://feeds.macnn.com/click.phdo?i=db134151c91ef307ad116b80a7b0fed4
