This June will mark the one-year anniversary of the original release of the iPhone (though it was announced several months prior). Many Apple fans are chattering that this June’s Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco will be the time and place to announce a “3G” version of the iPhone, with a new sleek black-colored plastic [...]
I updated my iPod Nano (3rd Gen) to software version 1.1.2 this weekend. I was even going to write an article about it, but it never happened. Today, I plugged in my iPod to charge it, and what did I find? iTunes was asking if I wanted to upgrade to software version 1.5.
I thought, [...]
If you haven’t tried yet, but are interested in running a server, now is your chance to get some free training about Mac OS X Server. Apple assures that if you don’t have a dedicated IT staff, you can still run a server with their wicked easy-to-use Leopard Server.
The free seminar is aimed [...]
Seems like I just posted about 3G iPhone. Actually, that’s because I did. It’s not my fault the internet is aflutter with iPhone love.
At any rate, this morning I was greeted by some interesting news regarding the 3G options found in the Beta 5 Firmware plist file. As you can see, the [...]
Probably like most of you, I have been reading post after post and article after article about how the 3G iPhone is right around the corner because the Edge iPhone is listed as “currently unavailable” in the Store.
Of course, saying that this means our beloved iPhone won’t be making a return to the shelfs until [...]
Remember those old Powerbook adapters? Do you also remember how they used to catch on fire? I didn’t experience it, personally. I did have a friend that swore his PowerBook adapter was out to get him — almost burning his house, car and office to the ground (on separate occasions).
A lot of [...]
Not your animal instinct, but the new Samsung Instinct, offered by Sprint. We will have some embedded video on Thursday hopefully, but until then, hit this link to go to Kansas City’s video site to see a side-by-side comparison of Apple and Sprint’s “find my location” features. The video is one of five that will [...]
Today Apple update its line of iMacs.
This really is not that much of an update, but if you are like me and shopping for a new iMac, the addition of more RAM to the $1499 model is a welcome addition.
The 4GB of RAM for only $180 more is much better than the $360 it [...]
As someone who both works in a high-theft environment (university campus, anyone?) and who owns a piece of portable Apply goodness that contains my entire life, I’m rather concerned about security and theft prevention. I had considered a laptop lock, but considerations of how much I really do move my laptop about and [...]
I don’t think this will show up in tonight’s quarterly report, but Forbes is reporting that Apple bought chip company P.A. Semi with the apparent hopes to use them to create chips for the iPhone. Unsurprisingly, Apple spokesman Steve Dowling said, “Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not [...]
The question for the past few years has been simple: who’s going to make it into the living room first. The market is growing, features are being added, but no clear victor has been declared.
I think I may have come upon a conclusion that appeases almost everyone. Bear with me, it’s a bit loopy. I [...]
Back when Steve-O returned to Apple, he completely killed off their clone program that allowed other hardware manufacturers to build computers that could run the Mac OS. Steve notoriously wants control over everything plus the clone program was cutting in to their bottom-line.
In addition to Apple putting a stop to the clone program, they also [...]
I use Blockbuster Online, and I love it. Apple TV and downloadable rentals that I can transfer to my iPod sounds even better than getting DVDs in the mail, but I don’t own one. The Blockbuster subscription plan works well for me and is cheaper than the $229 required for the Apple TV. I have [...]
If your daily existence is anything like mine you collect a decent number of items that need to – or at least should be – filed, stored or organized in some way. Whether they be downloaded PDF documents or saved purchase records, grocery store receipts or just important physical papers these items are probably either [...]
Last year, AppleInsider claimed inside sources foretelling the forthcoming discontinuation of the Mac Mini. This year, they are claiming that not only is it going to stay around, but that it is going to get a big bump in specs, including 45-nanometer 2.1 Ghz Intel processors and Intel XMA X3100 graphics controllers. So, not only [...]
CNN Money is reporting that Adobe has announced that it has begun work on a Flash player for the iPhone.
Last month Jobs said Flash wouldn’t be added to the iPhone anytime soon due to performance issues. Shortly there after, Jobs also announced the released of the iPhone SDK for creating iPhone native applications.
Today, Adobe CEO [...]
By now, you’ve seen the announcement of the March 6th iPhone announcement (which better be more than discussing a future announcement since that’s already two pointer de-references we have to manage). While I am – and many other and far more capable developers are also – eagerly awaiting the SDK release, the promise of “exciting [...]
Nearly every Tuesday in 2008 has seen a software or hardware announcement by Apple, yet each time I’m left feeling disappointed because it’s not the one I’m waiting for: new MacBook Pros.
Most Apple fans know you should always wait through the Christmas holiday until Macworld arrives in January before buying a new Mac. And with [...]
The Apple TV’s new found friends may have brought it up to par with several of its competitors, but does it compare to Apple’s own standards?
With a completely redesigned UI and a slew of new features, the Apple TV seems a new breed of set top box. One, oddly enough, in the same packaging we’ve [...]
For the past 24+ hours RSS readers around the globe have been awash with OS X 10.5.2 update news and notes on the ancillary side updates. The Cupertino software barrage continued today, including the Apple TV “Take 2″, which added access to iTunes rentals, Flickr/.Mac photos/movies and HD trailers.
I started the download before my evening [...]
