The good folks at Gameloft have just href="http://blog.gameloft.com/index.php/2011/08/18/the-time-has-come/">dropped the price on four of their titles down to $0.99. While one of the titles is for Mac only, the other three are iOS, and available in both iPhone and iPad versions. This is a price drop of $4 to $6, depending on the title.

href="http://www.everythingicafe.com/?s=icade">We’ve covered the iCade in some depth before, the incredibly cool $99 tabletop arcade unit that you can slide your iPad into. The problem is that it’s hard to track down which apps are designed to work with the accessory. Thankfully, href="http://toucharcade.com/2011/08/18/hey-new-icade-owners-heres-a-list-of-icade-supported-compatible-games/">TouchArcade have put together a list of the titles they know of that work.

AT&T Confirms iPhone 5 Launch for Early October?

In the past week or so, we’ve shied away from vague rumors promising news of an iPhone 5 release date. Today however, we get news from href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/19/att-vp-iphone-5-coming-in-early-october-prepare-to-get-really-really-busy/">BGR that an AT&T VP has reportedly confirmed to several employees that the iPhone 5 is scheduled to launch in early October. This of course dovetails nicely with the early August report from All Things D who said the href="http://www.everythingicafe.com/new-iphone-coming-in-october-not-in-september/2011/08/01/">iPhone 5 is coming this October.  Jim Dalrymple, known for his contacts within Apple, sort of href="http://www.loopinsight.com/2011/08/19/att-confirms-iphone-5-launch-in-early-october/">confirms this report. Dalrymple track record is on par with John Gruber, which leaves us marking our calendars for early October.

Get ready folks. It’s coming.

How to create a free Mac OS X Lion Recovery USB stick

When Apple announced that href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12">Lion would be href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12">available for purchase through the Mac App Store, it left many wondering what would happen if there was a problem with our Macs. In the past, you could always count on inserting a CD or DVD, allowing you to boot up in times of trouble. Lion is a different beast. There is no CD or CD, thanks to the electronic delivery. Apple promised to sell Lion on USB sticks and you can purchase one from the Apple Store for $69. This is great if don’t mind paying the extra fare for both installation and recovery in a convenient USB Thumb Drive. If you opted for the $29.99 update from the Mac App Store, then a Lion Recovery USB will do just fine.

The Lion Recovery Disk Assistant lets you create Lion Recovery on an external drive that has all of the same capabilities as the built-in Lion Recovery: reinstall Lion, repair the disk using Disk Utility, restore from a Time Machine backup, or browse the web with Safari.

Thanks to the new Lion Recovery Assistant software direct from Apple, you can make your own for the cost of a 2GB USB stick.

Here’s what you’ll need:

The whole process takes less than 5 minutes. I had a previous USB flash drive that I had been using to back up QuickBooks. I didn’t format it and simply let the Lion Recovery app do it’s thing. Now, should you have problems with your Mac, you should press the option key when restarting your Mac. Of course, you’ll need to do this with the USB Flash Drive inserted.
