At Macworld/iWorld 2013 in San Francisco, Stephen Burns of Blekko explains how they took their search technology and created a visual search experience for the iPad called Izik. Rather than a page of blue links, Izik delivers a more graphically rich set of results to your inquiry, while leveraging the iPad’s swipe capabilities to make the whole experience better and more efficient.

At Macworld/iWorld 2013 in San Francisco, we caught up with Paul Kafasis of Rogue Amoeba on one of the off-years from exhibiting at the show to get the updates on their audio-editing program, Fission, gives us a tease on an upcoming version of Audio Hijack Pro, and provides some surprising observations on the state of Mac application sales both through the Mac App Store and through direct channels.
MacVoices is sponsored by Rogue Amoeba, the makers of Fission, the streamlined audio editor for Mac OS X. Audio editing doesn’t have to be a chore. If you need to crop or trim audio, join multiple files, or split one long file into many. Fission will get you set quickly. Plus, Fission works without the quality loss caused by other audio editors, so you can get perfect quality, even when editing MP3 and AAC files. And if you need to convert audio, Fission can do that too, working with all popular audio formats. Interested? Get Fission for 20% off with coupon code MACVOICES13.

In the BowBlade booth on the show floor at Macworld/iWorld 2013 in San Francisco, Max Green demonstrated their archery game controller that looks more like the real thing than almost any other game accessory we saw. Mount your iPhone or iPod touch in the BowBlade and stalk your prey, but be ready to draw a surprisingly demanding string before you can shoot. It may not replace a trip to the gym, but you’re going to get an archery-muscles workout.
