Jobs kept letter from Bill Gates by his bed before he died
By the things Jobs said in his biography about Bill Gates, one might think that the two of them were sworn enemies. He describe Gates as a "basically unimaginative person" who "has never invented anything," yet this was not the whole story. In an interview Gates mentioned that he wrote a letter to Jobs in the days leading up to the Apple co-founder's death; he loved...

An Italian court has today ruled against Apple over its sales conduct in the Italian Apple Store. Basically, Apple has been pushing customers to purchase AppleCare, its extended warranty plan, whenever they buy Apple products. Obviously, there's nothing wrong with that. The problem is that Apple hadn't been telling customers about a legally mandated two-year... Read more » Apple defends its manufacturing methods
In the past couple of weeks we've seen Apple team up with the FLA (Free labor association) in a bid to clean up its act in the manufacturing branch. Let's face it, Apple doesn't have a brilliant record when it comes to this sort of thing. On Wednesday, an extensive article appeared on the New York Times website documenting the story of the infamous explosion in... Read more » Birthday Bonanza! Day 4 iOS games winner
Yesterday we offered up three fantastic games for iOS: Batman: Arkham City Lockdown, Infinity Blade II and The Heist. (My personal favs.) And the winner is: Rachel Rueff from Ontario who commented: "that's a toughie I like all the hidden item games from a certain maker of them, I play angry birds all the time, and I like bejewelled." Congrats to Rachel.... Read more » Rumor: Apple OLED TV set to release in April/May?
It's not often that Apple rumors don't come from the usual group of rumor-spinning sites: 9to5Mac, AppleInsider or MacRumors. This speculation comes exclusively from TechnoBuffalo. Its editors have received information about the Apple HDTV that has been subject of speculation for the past few years. It's only since the Steve Jobs biography was released that any...

It's the finally day of our birthday celebrations. We've had a great time, offering up some cool accessories, and apps. We're going in to the weekend and thought what better way to enjoy it than offer you all a chance to win an iPod. The new iPod nano was the only one device in the iPod range to get an update at October's media event. It's not only ultraportable,...

Alright, I realize that this is supposed to be an "App of the Week", but this Siri jailbreak tweak has a ton more features than most full-on applications do. So bear with me and let's get to it. So let's go back to the year 2011, before the iPhone 4S was released, and before voice commands on a cell phone actually worked. Now think back to all the times you were... Read more » Would you break contract to upgrade your iPhone?
A new statistic came out today regarding iPhone upgrades that I found rather surprising. Apparently a whopping 42% of iPhone 4S customers broke a carrier contract to obtain Apple's latest gadget. What's more, 19% of iPhone buyers actually upgraded from an iPhone 4! Now, personally I think this is kind of crazy. I mean, iPhones are great, but the amount of money it... Read more » Jailbreaking can’t really be made illegal, can it?
Yesterday we heard the news that jailbreaking could be re-made illegal in the US. Of course, we know it voids our Apple warranty and any insurance we may have on it, most jailbreakers are happy and hack away despite the loss of warranty. Why? Because re-installing the Apple designed OS the way it "should be" is as easy as pie. It's not like anyone's stuck with... Read more » iPhones made up 80% of AT&T’s smartphone sales over holidays
Yesterday the news broke that for the first time in a long time iOS was dominant player in the smartphone market. Admittedly, it only bested Android by 0.1%, but still, it's a major step up for Apple in the platform wars. AT&T reported today that it sold around 20% of Apple's 37 million iPhones sold globally last quarter. Those 7.6 million Apple handsets... Read more » Birthday Bonanza! Day 3 WakeMate winner

All this week so far has been about accessories. We had the nifty Piolo stand on Monday, iSkin Claro on Tuesday and yesterday was the WakeMate. Today, we're giving you a break from accessories and going with apps. Specifically, quality games. I have written on my top 5 apps previously, but, games is a different matter entirely. I figure most of you can afford a $1... Read more » Jailbreaking may soon be illegal
According to ReadWriteWeb, millions of iDevice users jailbroke their devices over the last weekend after the release of the Absinthe A5 tool. However, if the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is not successful in renewing the jailbreaking exemption law put in place 3 years ago, tweak users and Cydia browsers may soon be faced with some legal threats. The 1998... Read more » iPhone sales higher than Android last quarter
Over the past few years there's been an incredible upward trend for Android in the smartphone market. We've gotten too used to Google's OS taking a bigger chunk of sales than iOS. It's not like any of us were particularly surprised either. Stick a platform on countless devices against little to no competition from anyone but Apple and you're going to eat... Read more »
