What happened to Apple’s “people’s computer” philosophy?
Back when the MacIntosh first launched back in the 80s, the philosophy was to create a personal computer, that was both a joy to use and didn't set you back a small fortune. In its time, it wasn't hideously expensive. (It wasn't a spur of the moment, pocket change purchase either.) It's price: a cool $2,495. Apple failed. Can you imagine paying that for something...

The mobile phone market is clearly one of the most lucrative in the entire tech industry. At least it can be if you get the formula right. Few have got it more right than Apple. With the perfect levels of quality, reliability, in-house hardware and software and selling a shed load means Apple's iPhone is easily the most successful phone on the market. The following...

I stumbled upon an interesting article over at MinimallyMinimal the other day that made me stop and think. The article is about the problem with logos and how they make a difference on devices. If you are not sure what I am talking about, I’ll explain with a picture. Basically, the problem with the Nokia Lumia 900 is the amount of logos. There are three of them,...

Earlier today Apple updated its End User License Agreement for the iBooks Author application in an effort to clarify confusing legal jargon. It now looks like Apple wants to sell user generated iBooks without placing claims on the content or restricting where they can be distributed. As some of you may know, when iBooks Author was released along with iBooks... Read more » Apple TV gets Genius recommendations for Movies and TV shows
In another move that could be construed as preparation for an Apple-branded HDTV launch, Apple has brought its Genius recommendations to the Apple TV. This move will help many customers discover new shows and movies similar to what they already like, which is great! Interested users can access the new feature by clicking on the Genius menu option under both... Read more » Which rumored Apple device are you most excited about?
Currently there are three mystical Apple products that have hold of the Internet's attention: iPhone 6, iPad 3, and iTV. It's virtually impossible to browse the web without encountering at least a few stories about these unreleased devices every day. I mean, it's not a bad thing. These products are exciting, interesting and fun to speculate about. But, at least for... Read more » The iPhone: Turns out it’s much older than we thought
I was doing some nostalgic surfing on the web just now, and I stumbled on a fascinating piece written about the iPhone. Not that sleek, touch-screen device we all know and love today however. This is old school, I mean really old school. This thing is even older than Cam! Back in 1983, the year that saw the very first flight of the space shuttle Challenger;...

Due to an injunction motioned by Motorola in Germany, Apple has been forced to remove all 3G capable iOS devices from its online store. All that is, except its most popular device: iPhone 4S. Thanks to some difference in the baseband chip, the latest and greatest iOS device is safe - for now. "All versions of Apple's 3G/UMTS-capable iPad, including the iPad 2,...

Before you get too excited, realize one thing - this is a rumor. It comes from one of our sources who has been correct in the past. Thanks to him we knew when the white iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S were going to be launched. In both instances, he was correct. That being said, he informs me of the latest whisperings with a side of caution. The source is... Read more » Macs shouldn’t have touch screens
