23. February 2010
Since the iPhone was first released, people have complained about its lack of support for third-party multitasking. This sentiment was further amplified when Apple recently announced the iPad, a device which also won’t support multitasking outside of Apple’s own apps. The proffered reason behind Apple’s reluctance to support system wide multitasking is that users will inevitably leave apps […]

You know, maybe everything they say about Apple-obsessed fans is on point. I mean, how else can you explain a couple deciding to exchange their vows and get married inside an Apple Store?

Comments Off on Man’s house burns down, but his iMac survives
We’ve always thought that Apple has done a subpar job of advertising the iMac, so maybe this offbeat story will serve as a good jumping off point for Apple to start spreading the word about one of its greatest products. The most recent iterations of the iMacs are slick and beautifully designed aluminum beasts. From […]

Given the perplexing backlash and seeming hatred being directed at the iPad, we thought it’d be somewhat instructive to go back in time and take a look at what some people were saying about the iPod when Steve Jobs first announced Apple’s first MP3 player back in October, 2001.

1. February 2010
The reaction to the iPad has been largely negative, which isn’t too surprising given the out-of-this-world hype that preceded its unveiling. Many are dismissing it as a giant iPhone and nothing more, while some morons, who apparently get off on spec-sheets, are already calling it a failure because of it lacks Flash, an e-ink display, […]
