A twitter app for Mac OS 9 and beyond
It’s a slow news day for Apple here on New Year’s Eve, so we thought we’d hit you guys up with some offbeat news in the form of an actual twitter app for users still running Mac OS 6 through OS 9. System 6?! Now do these people still exist? Well, legend has it that […]

Comments Off on January 26th Apple event to focus on “mobility space”; Tablet to be sub-$1000
Somewhat unusually, Foxnews has entered the Apple rumor business. Citing, an inside source within Apple, Foxnews reports that Apple’s upcoming media event on January 26th will focus on “the mobility space”, which seems to imply that the event will focus on the iPhone/iPod or, of course, the rumored Apple tablet.

The iTunes App Store is a monster that’s spawned a number of competing app stores from the likes of RIM, Microsoft, and of course, Google.

30. December 2009
Remember this video of a “holographic” cat on the iPhone created by David Oreilly? Cool stuff for sure, but it wasn’t actually real and was just put together as a demo. But now that the iPhone 3GS comes equipped with a digital compass, the “iHoligram” as it’s called is now a reality. The video below […]

Comments Off on China Unicom iPhone sales surpass 300,000 units
After getting off to a lackluster start, sales of the iPhone via China Unicom seem to be picking up steam. China Unicom is China’s second largest mobile carrier behind China Mobile and when it began selling the iPhone in early November, the expectations were high.

30. December 2009
To be honest, we weren’t exactly thrilled with Apple’s new Magic Mouse when it debuted, finding it a decent device but ultimately lacking some of the basic features we grew accustomed to with the Mighty Mouse (Expose, anyone?). The design is admittedly sleek, but ergonomically and utility wise, it leaves something to be desired. But […]

Comments Off on New evidence hints at 8GB iPhone 3GS
Back in June, Apple made the iPhone more affordable than ever when it began selling an 8GB 3G model for only $99. This was a big move for Apple as it opened up the device to an entirely new segment of customers while preventing other smartphones from stealing its thunder via price cutting. Now, new […]

Comments Off on Apple COO Tim Cook rewarded handsomely in 2009
When Steve Jobs took a 6-month leave of absence from Apple in 2009, he placed control of the company in the trusty hands of COO Tim Cook who assumed the role of acting CEO. While in charge, Cook maintained a steady course for the mothership as Apple continued to deliver impressive new products while also […]

Talk about contrasting styles. Woz is smiling at the camera while wearing an ID badge and an Apple belt buckle of all things. Steve Jobs, meanwhile, looks serious but is open to party, as evidenced by his popped collar. Together, they’re holding an Apple I motherboard.
