With all the attention given the iPhone over the last few weeks, I’ve started to feel sorry for the Apple TV. While the iPhone has been seen as one of Apple’s most important announcements ever, compared with the original Mac launch, the Apple TV continues to be, in comparison, seen as a hobby.
So, in our [...]
Co-Founder of The IconFactory, Ged Maheux has laid-out his idea of a ‘match made in heaven’ and would love for your support in helping achieve it. With Frenzic’s recent release as the first game to come from The IconFactory, many a Mac-user found their next Tetris.
With the iPhone on the brink of [...]
How great would it be if Apple were to offer a Tiered Referral program on sales of their computers? We’ve all probably helped show a friend or two (or several…) the light by bringing them to the Apple platform. Now wouldn’t it be cool to get Referral Bucks or a percentage discount each [...]
Ars reports that AT&T stores will be closing early on June 29th in order to setup and prepare for the 6pm launch of the iSecondComing, er, iPhone. There will be nice velvet ropes to que the eager techies into the stores and handle sales on a first come first served basis. Oh, and [...]
The past few Apple events have resulted in many people griping openly about the Keynote Speeches. I’m not sure at what point everyone put their cranky pants on and decided that the Keynote had to hit an imaginary bar in order to give them happiness, but give it a break already!
Lack of Hardware Announcements
It’s [...]
Scott Stevenson of the venerable Theocacao, CocoaBlogs and CocoaDevCentral was given the go ahead from Wil Shipley to devulge some teasers of the upcoming (in October, along with Leopard) Delicious Library 2.
Delicious Library seems to be one of the elite applications for OS X that everyone talks about and loves. Its use of hardware [...]
With Apple rumors getting spread further around than ever (and regular coverage from national news media), it’s important to remember that many (most?) tend to be either completely untrue or so premature they never come true. So here’s a look back at 10 of the worst offenders.
CrunchGear pointed to this the other day and I’ve been daydreaming about it since. The fact that it’s a tablet mock-up does not necessarily get me excited. The part I dig is the short description of how the design would function:
It [the keyboard] stays in place with a combination of magnets and notches
There [...]
Daniel Turner has posted a nice photo of the Apple I, designed by company co-founder Steve “Woz” Wozniak, at MIT’s Technology Review.
If you’re not familiar with the computer landscape of 1976, you might be shocked to see that it’s actually just a circuit board. Buyers of the “affordable” $666.66 product (about $2,400 in today’s [...]
Thanks to their simplicity and effectiveness, Apple’s ‘I’m a PC. I’m a Mac.’ ads have spawned numerous parodies and homages (some better than others). This recent homemade takeoff (the first of six in the series) uses Spider-Man and Superman figures to demonstrate the differences between the comic book powerhouses Marvel and DC.
I think it’s safe [...]
It looks like our favorite computer hardware maker is hiring a “Sr. Manager, Web 2.0 Development“.
Would could Apple possibly be up to? Myspace comes to iTunes? Facebook on your iPhone? iPhoto to make better friends with Flickr? iMovie goes YouTube?
Very interesting. Let the speculation commence.
I got there at little after 7:15am and was greeted by this line.
Then the Apple Laptops came out - great wireless signal from the store apparently.
Then the Apple Team came out Whooping and Cheering.
And then the party began.
This was my first Apple Store opening, and it was really cool. The people are fun, and [...]
It seems my screencasts garner much interest in the rest of my system’s bling, if you will. So a quick rundown to answer some of the questions left in the comments of the Pimp Your Quicksilver screencast from last week.
WALLPAPER
I find my Desktop wallpaper in a few different places.
I totally dig what [...]
The process by which people deal with grief and tragedy is marked by five stages. And with Apple recently announcing the delay of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard until October, Mac users are currently going through those stages (some faster than others).
This is a note aimed more toward the Colorado-based TAB readers. This Saturday the 21st of April marks the opening of an Apple store at Park Meadows Mall in Lone Tree, Colorado. Being that it’s just minutes from my home, I don’t think an Apple store opening will get any closer for me. [...]
Apple computers are well known for their long lifespans. In the late 1990s, while at UC Berkeley, vintage late-1980s Mac SE/30s powered
Currently on display at the Vertexlist gallery in Brooklyn through April 22 is the “Random Access Poetics” exhibition, which includes a series of iPod sculptures by the artist [dNASAb].
According to the gallery’s write-up, the sculptures are “continuously looping, wall hanging, painted audio/video sculptures. The sculpture actually provides the energy, and audio components to make the [...]
If you’ve ever used the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store, you’ve used their Concierge Service. You can sign up from Apple.com/retail from anywhere (not just within the store itself) for a convenient time that day and then head on in at your leisure. Works well enough and is definitely nice to [...]
I’ve been eyeing a 17 inch iMac G4 for sometime now. It’s pretty expensive at around $560 at WegenerMedia.com- not that much less than a brand new Mac mini.
I have thought about putting the 17 inch iMac in my guest room for use by any guests. It is a bit of a [...]
Andrew Sims is the host and producer of MuggleCast, the most popular Harry Potter podcast in the world.
I had the great opportunity recently to ask him a few questions.
Tell us a bit about MuggleCast, and its history.
MuggleCast started back in August 2005 when its parent website, MuggleNet.com, decided to look into the possibility of running [...]
