h4. “MacHeist 3″:http://www.macheist.com/ is back.

A new briefing has been released with new quests and challengers and just to reward MacHeist members, you get “ShoveBox”:http://www.wonderwarp.com/shovebox/, an information manager that lives in your menubar. For the uninitiated, each MacHeist starts off with quizzes and challengers that when completed, sometimes a free app is given to members to download. At the end of the campaign, a bundle of apps is packaged at very attractive price and part of the proceeds are given to charity. So don’t wait, the first brief has been uploaded online.

h4. Vintage and Obsolete Macs

Apple has updated their list of “vintage and obsolete”:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1752#EuroAsiaPacObs products which means these products will not be serviced by Apple Authorized Service Providers (list of “Singapore AASP”:http://iheartapple.org/singapore/) and that replacement parts will be harder to come by.
