Koi Pond iPhone app offers ”Holiday Mode”

IMG 0005 20081121 174427 Koi Pond iPhone app offers Holiday ModeKoi Pond is a cute little inexpensive iPhone/iPod touch app that invites you to gaze in and relax while watching playful koi fish swim. You can run your fingers over the surface of the water to hear the gentle splashing…but don’t be surprised if you scare the fish away. Don’t worry though; they’ll be back and you can even feed them from your fingertips.

In the latest update pushed to Koi Pond users, a Holiday Mode was added that features 2 new Holiday koi, holly leaves, festive lights, special holiday koi food (please do not feed gingerbread men and candy canes to real koi) and when you shake your iPhone, you’ll hear sleigh bells.

Koi Pond sells for $0.99.

Apple adds reliable clicking abilities to the new MacBook’s no button trackpad via firmware upgrade

I can only imagine how frustrating this problem must have been for those of you who were otherwise lucky enough to have purchased one of the new unibody MacBooks or MacBook Pros.

Evidently, clicks on the new glass trackpad may or may not be recognized. Very random. Very annoying. This firmware update addresses the issue. It downloads as a package that will install an updater application into the Applications/Utilities folder and will launch it automatically. Follow the instructions in the updater application as best you can with your occasionally clickable trackpad and I hope to see you happy and smiling on the other side.

If for some reason the firmware update doesn’t go so well, Apple has some suggestions.
