An interesting infographic that visually shows how the world spends its time online
The average American spends more than 60 hours a month online, the equivalent of 30 straight days a year. I certainly hope at least one of those days per month is here at The Graphic Mac. Regardless, this infographic offers plenty of interesting information about how the world spends its time online. Not only is it great information, but the graphics are quite nice as well.

Dead simple way to create your own waving flag artwork in Photoshop
Dead simple way to create your own waving flag artwork in Photoshop
Creating your own waving flag has never been easier
I’m not sure how useful this little gem would be to you, but I found it quite cool because it’s so simple. Artbees has made Flag Creator, a layered .psd file, available for download. The file will convert your flat flag artwork into the wavy flag as seen above. This is not a Photoshop Action file, instead you simply double click a specified layer, paste your custom artwork in the resulting window and hit Save. That’s it, your wavy flag is automatically created.
Tutorial: Create a stunning personalized UFO
Tutorial: Create a stunning personalized UFO
This custom UFO artwork was created following a relatively simple tutorial
When I came across the How to Create a Social Media UFO Icon tutorial at PSDTuts, I couldn’t help but share.
The Adobe Photoshop tutorial, which has a whopping 57 steps, is fairly simple to follow. Though the writer claims it will take an hour to do, I was able to reproduce it in about 20 minutes. The tutorial assumes some knowledge of working with layers, gradients and how to adjust transparency. The beauty of this tutorial is that you don’t need to follow it word-for-word. You could create a square UFO if you wanted to, and add other lighting and shadow effects as I did.
If you’re looking for an excuse to try it, consider using it to create a great desktop wallpaper.
5 iPhone sites you should bookmark
5 iPhone sites you should bookmark
New and experienced iPhone and iPod Touch users can always use a another site for news, app reviews and commentary, and I’ve gathered a few great ones for you to bookmark.
AppShopper is the best looking and most organized iPhone site
By far, the best site I’ve come across for iPhone apps is AppShopper. When you want to read descriptions, reviews, and price watching, AppShopper is the place to go. It’s also the best looking and most organized site of the bunch. The site also offers a free iPhone app to complete the mobile experience.
The original iPod/iPhone site, iLounge, is still one of the first places people go for news and reviews on all things iPhone. In particular, the quality of their reviews of various iPhone/iPod Touch cases cannot be touched by anyone!
FreshApps is another app review site. The site doesn’t have nearly the amount of content as some others, but the layout is clean and I like the quality of content so far.
iPhone Alley isn’t one of my favorite iPhone sites, but it does contain quite a bit of good content, so it’s worth bookmarking.
148Apps is a great site for iPhone app reviews
148Apps is one of the more popular iPhone sites around, and for good reason. App reviews contain useful ratings, reviews and screenshots. This is one site you’ll want to check out when you’re considering purchasing an app. In particular I like the Price Drops section, where you can quickly see which apps have lowered their price or gone free.
