Many Mac users will find a use for at least one of the applications offered in the Mac Heist bundle, because they have a little bit of everything for a great price. $39.00 US. This is a very small price to pay for $600.00 + dollars worth of applications.
One of the great examples is Picturesque. Picturesque is a great application that does simple editing of pictures, without any advanced knowledge, such as that required to run Photoshop, while still enhancing your photographs at a near professional level.
Another offering is Wiretap Studio. WireTap Studio is a fantastic application if you would like to create a podcast. With wiretap it is possible to capture a skype call in order to do interviews without needing a massive setup. I could go on and on about all of the apps offered, but I think you need to see them for yourself. Simply go to and check out all the applications you get for $39.00. Just remember that there is a time limit, as of this writing there are only 12 days left, as an additional incentive, 25% of the price goes to charity. Now you can’t beat that, you get some great software at a great price, while contributing to charity.
Did I mention that all the applications are FULL versions, not trial or shareware. I can’t stress what a good deal this is, so hurry over to macheist.com and get yours, but remember only 12 days left.
It’s the day after Thanksgiving here in the United States, do you know where the deals are?
The Big Deals
Apple – Apple’s kept the word mum on their Black Friday sale so far, but you can see Apple’s past Black Friday deals via MacRumors. Apple discounted the iMac, Macbook, iPod Nano, iPod Classic, iPod Touch, and AppleTV modestly. It’s expected that the macs will recieve discounts up to $100, and iPods & accessories will see some discounts as well. If you’re shopping for the best deal at the Apple Store, be sure to check out the Refurb/Special Deals section, which provides deals year-round.
MacMall – This authorized Apple re-seller is selling macs at great deals, where you have up to $994 off Macbook Airs, and $1094 on Macbook Pros – not all of the deals apply to the current line of Macs, so be sure to check out what you’re buying!

Hey all… I’m going to the New Media Expo with the Viddler crew. We’re going to be handing out a bunch of t-shirts with our logos to promote Viddler’s new “brand yourself)” campaign. I will also have a few regular iBAM tees with me to give away as well.
I will have a very limited supply of iBoughtAMac/Viddler (brand yourself) tees and a few regular iBAM tees… So if you want one and you’re gonna be there at NME, be sure to let me know (via the comments) and I’ll be sure to hold one aside for you.
Be on the lookout for my “as random as always” NME videos over at the NME Videos site. You can post videos there as well if you tag your Viddler videos with “newmediaexpo2008″ or “newmediaexpo”.
It’s official! The iBAM Book site is up and running and the project is in full swing. What is it, you ask? Well… the idea is to put together a cool coffee table “type” book featuring picture after creative picture of “you and your Mac”. We all love our juicy little bundles of joy so why don’t we show it off to the whole world in our true creative style? If you are a photographer, this is a great way to promote yourself by creating a collection for inside the book. If you’re an individual with a picture of you and your Mac, it’s a great way to promote yourself or whatever you want. Meet new people, be creative and all in all, just have some fun with some of the coolness that we can do with the Internet today. Photo submission deadline is October 1st, 2008 so stop by the site, take some pics and get your Mac on!
This is all for community and fun so if you don’t mind, help me spread the word. Blog it, tweet it, pownce it, digg it, scream it or do whatever you can to help make this little book idea into something great. it’s all about YOU!
iBoughtAMac aims to deliver a well rounded collection of information for the Mac user. You've got questions, iBoughtAMac hopes to have the answers. If, after browsing the archives your question has not yet been answered, shoot us a friendly email at help@iboughtamac.com.
