In Case You Missed It: May 31 - June 6
   

Tomorrow is the big day, and we're sure you will all be glued to your  Twitter feeds and this site hitting refresh refresh refresh for all the  latest and greatest news from the WWDC and especially Steve Jobs'  keynote address. We all know the fourth generation iPhone handset will  be officially announced at the event, but will it go on sale on the  floor as some have speculated? And what about iPhone OS 4.0? Will we be  getting that tomorrow too? Only time will tell, so while you  wait don't just sit there twiddling your thumbs, enjoy the best of  Mac|Life from the previous week. Features: - The  Complete History of the WWDC Keynote - Twenty-seven big years of  announcements, hot new software, even hotter new hardware, all under one  roof at THE place to be if you develop products for Apple products.- It's Coming: Preparing for iPhone OS 4.0 - The upgrade from OS 3.1.1  to 3.1.2 then to 3.1.3 were all cool in their ways (MMS!), but we expect  OS 4.0 to totally change almost every way we use our iPhones. Here's  how to make sure you're prepared. Reviews: - Review Roundup - iPad Stands - There are a lot of  stand makers out there vying to make the next killer accessory. All of  these have their strengths and weaknesses, but in the words of Bono, we  still haven't found what we're looking for. - Adobe Photoshop CS5 - The question with software updates is whether  you really need it right away or how long can you put off buying it?  With features like the amazing Content Aware Fill, it'll be pretty hard  to pass up Photoshop CS5, even if you don't update the rest of the  suite. How-Tos:- How-to: Make a Tilt-Shift Picture - Speaking of  Photoshop, one of the cooler fun tricks is to turn a picture into a  tilt-shift version of itself. Tilt-shift is when you adjust a photo's  perspective to make it resemble incredibly realistic toys instead of  cars and buildings. It's  complicated, but you know Mac|Life's got your  back. - iPhone and iPad Tips of the Week - It's an all AT&T jamboree in  this week's recurring feature of news you can use for iPhones and  iPadders. Best tip in here is how to tell how much data you're  consuming. With everyone's love-to-hate carrier throttling down the data  usage for iPhone users, it's a snap to find out how much you typically  use, so you can choose your rate carefully. News: Looks like the international release of the iPad was big  enough of a launch to record a measurable uptick in online mobile  internet usage...we can only imagine what the spike would look like  stateside if the rumors of Verizon testing out Apple products turns out  to be true...of course, while they may be testing products, that doesn't  necessarily mean they'll be bringing any to market anytime soon, which  is what Verizon's spokesperson straight up and said...AT&T wasted no  time with the iPad's huge popularity and is even pre-selling 3G plans to die-hards who haven't even received their iPad orders; can that be  legal? ... apparently the upcoming iPhone OS upgrade won't allow for  tethering for your iPad, and the problem isn't on the carrier's end, which is a shock  in and of itself...also on the Apple end of things, more App Store news;  when an app which had already been approved, My Frame, gets the boot it  might just be revealing about new OS plans...and in the not revealing  category, we have this nifty little Japanese case for the iPad. No one  will know your secret.   The  window is shutting if you want to use your iPhone's Skpe service over  3G; they unlocked it for just a tiny time period, but that time period  is the teaser to get you to pay for it in the future...speaking of  paying for it, AT&T decides it's time to put a cap on data  usage....and here's how that kind of data usage breaks down, so if you  don't use over 2GB, then let's not hear a bunch of whining, all  right?...even if the AT&T CEO is the whiniest baby you've ever heard  of, sending a cease & desist letter threatening legal action for  EMAILING him, that guy's out of his head...and speaking of "out of"  (nice segueway, no?), apparently Apple is plum outta 3G handsets for the  iPhone...which of course is the opening for this baby, the fourth  generation handset in these leaked pictures of the all white  model....and who needs folders on your OS 4.0, especially when you can  just download one mega app crammed with 100 utilities; everything you  need in one place!
