Psystar, you know, those crazy people that brought us the Open Computer Mac clone (and still have not been shut down by Apple) announced today that they are releasing OpenServ Rack-Mount Servers and OpenGamer Gaming Systems, which will run Windows Server (2003 and 2008) and Leopard Server, and your various varieties of Linux server distros. [...]
With all the success of the amazing MacBook Air and iPhone, Apple has set itself up squarely in the sights of companies competing for svelte design.
When the MacBook Air was announced, the Lenovo Thinkpad camp was quick to point out that the X300 was better, weighing in at 2.93. Now, Toshiba claims that their [...]
Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is a copyright protection agreement between the United States, some European Union countries, and now Canada. They already have a pretty random law up in the great white north that allows them to randomly search devices to find files that infringe on copyright laws.
The new plan would allow the border [...]
While looking at the new 3G iPhone I happened to check out what came in the box and was estactic to see a new much needed item.
That’s right, it looks like the new iPhone comes with a special tool for removing the SIM. In my world we call it a paperclip, but to Apple [...]
Ah, there’s nothing like the thrill of last-minute keynote rumor-mongering. This is one I don’t think anyone saw coming, which in my book lends it some credibility. TUAW has posted some images of a page purportedly from Apple’s web site advertising Mac Fusion, a new Mac specifically for developers with the tagline, “Leave your apps behind. Build [...]
A turn off for some people who drooled over the iPhone was the price. Yes they wanted it, but they weren’t willing to drop $399 for the iPhone 8G, and they wouldn’t even think about paying $499 for the iPhone 16GB. I know people like that, thing is the people I knew could easily [...]
As the WWDC gets closer they hype surrounding this event continues to build. Nearly everyone that has been following the news leading up to the WWDC expects Apple CEO Steve Jobs to announce the iPhone App Store and iPhone 2.0 software, not to mention the 3G iPhone. Rumors have been flying about the mysterious boxes [...]
No run-up to Macworld Expo or WWDC is complete without the spy shots of the banners inside San Francisco’s Moscone Center, and this time is no different. No making the rounds is a Flickr photoset of banners hung outside the keynote hall posted by Gernot Poetsch. One in particular is especially interesting. It shows two banners: one referring to [...]
Forbes has an interesting article up that claims that the DS needs to be fearful of the iPhone come June 9th. Brian Caulfield points out the features of the iPhone combine the motion sensitivity of the Wii with the touchscreen of the DS. While this may be true, I don’t see the iPhone becoming the [...]
Recently there has been a little buzz swirling about the fact that Apple is on pace to fall short of selling 10 million iPhones in 2008. Last week, a New York Times article noted, “After almost a year of strong sales that have made it one of the dominant smartphones in the United States, the iPhone [...]
“Multi-touch is the future. The mouse and the keyboard has had too long of a reign, it’s time to de-thrown them,” says Bridger Maxwell, a 17-year old from Orem, Utah, who took 4th place in a national science fair for creating a multi-touch display. Apple has already “expressed interest in” him being an intern next [...]
My work is a Mac shop. Everyone has a Mac, some people even have two (desktop and laptop). Anyway, I recently decided to do an inventory to see what we had and what was/was not under warranty.
I started by making a Google docs spreadsheet and named it “Office Macs.” (Creative…I know). I [...]
Granted, the iPhone gets a lot of news any day of the week, but today the New York Times, Ars Technica, and Information Week are all raining on Apple’s parade, claiming that Jobs’ prediction of 10 million iPhones in 2008 was way beyond the mark. Macworld steps in with an article showing how it is [...]
I’ve had my iPhone for about 5 months now, and up until about 6 weeks ago it was pure bliss. Then suddenly my battery life started to go south, fast. When I first got the iPhone, I could easily go 2 to 3 days of moderate use without charging it. When the battery first started [...]
I was a bit worried when I found out about this story, but I should have seen it coming. Engadget reports that people who are purchasing refurbished iPhones (from Apple, no less) are able to recover old data off of the devices using some freely available tools.
I’ve had to take my iPhone in to the [...]
Gizmodo is “confirming” that Apple will release a 3G iPhone next month at WWDC. This is a fairly widely circulated rumor - Gizmodo isn’t saying anything new, but is just betting all of their chips that it’s true.
Leo Laporte has mentioned a couple of times (on his TWiT podcasts) that he believes the iPhone 3G [...]
These photos are taken from the TED blog. Yves Behar, the designer for the XO Laptop discusses what V 2.0 will look like. The new XO laptop, set to arrive in 2010, looks like two giant iPhones glued side-by-side. An all-touchscreen interface, with accelerometers to orient the screen to the correct perspective, and Pong make [...]
Netflix and Napster are both launching assaults on Apple, today. CNET is reporting the release of Netflix’s Apple TV rival, simply called Player by Roku, and Napster is getting into the digital music distribution with apparently an identical model to iTunes ($0.99 a song, $9.95 an album).
I am all for competition, but I don’t think [...]
NPD is reporting that although Apple only has 14% share of the overall computer market, when it comes to computers over $1000, Apple is king, selling 66% of the total computers sold. It certainly helps that the only computer you can get for less than ten Benjamins is the Mac Mini. But if you upgrade [...]
I live in New York, so I’m constantly losing my iPhone signal when I go onto the subway. Sometimes when I get off the train and I’m back in range of the phone still can’t find the network. Recently, my phone has randomly also been telling me “No Sim” even though it’s just been [...]
