Web Apps The Answer To Apple App Store Approval

Oddly enough, this makes a bit of sense. Rather than working hard, work smart. Stop fighting with Apple’s insane approval process and instead, develop a web app that can be promoted regardless of what Apple happens to think of it.
Yes, it is really this simple as pointed out in this piece here. Even better is [...]

Deals On Mac Prices On Black Friday

Today I learned that there are to be some pretty sweet deals for Apple fans, assuming they are able to handle the fact that the big savings are hardly worth getting out of bed for. A whopping 8% savings to be exact. Sorry, but I would not even get me to drive across town much [...]

Auto-Approval Hits The App Store

Like many others, I am skeptical as to how the news of automatic approvals will affect both the end users and the developers of individual iPhone apps alike. For many, it is suspected that this new procedure is going to lead to a number of false pstivies that could lead to app rejection.
Does this mean [...]

Smoke Around The Mac And Void The Warranty

Sorry to be the one to point this out, but as a reformed smoker from YEARS ago, if you smoke around any electronic appliance, you are an idiot if you expect the warranty to hold up.
Back in my PC repair days, I found countless computers caked in yellow nastiness from smokers, often creating issues with [...]

RadioShack To Sell The iPhone

Okay, I am lost here. Why is RadioShack going to be selling the iPhone? How in the heck is this any good to the consumer? Ah, it actually leaves them largely unaffected as we are still stuck with the same old AT&T network until Verizon gets things finalized.
So once again, why would anyone care about [...]

No More Guest Account Frustration

Finally, some relief from that nasty guest account bug is here. For many OS X users, this did not come a day too early. Other fixes include Spotlight not showing exchange contacts, four finger swipe gesture, VPN headaches among other items of interest that were fixed.
In my mind, I see this OS X update acting [...]

Parallels Reups On VMWare

The idea that Mac users would utilize Parallels to move themselves off of Windows is unlikely at best. Don’t get me wrong, the Mac user is clearly going to prefer their desktop to that of a Windows one.
Despite this, in order to use products like Parallels translates into needing a copy of Windows. All virtualization [...]

Apple Tablet Is Not The eBook Reader You Wanted

The grand idea of the Apple Tablet becoming the next big eBook reader might not happen the way many of us thought according to this piece. Apparently this is simply not a market in which Apple wishes to spend much time with.
At the same time, with the video and music market already having Apple’s boot [...]

No Wifi For You!

Honestly feeling bad for the Chinese consumers who are excited at the prospect of finally having access to the iPhone. Why? Because it is going to be lacking a big feature. No Wifi.
I cannot even wrap my head around not having access to wifi with my iPhone. I say this as the 3G access on [...]

Apple Ad Guy Still Here!

The person who is largely behind the successful Apple ads over the years is not going anywhere. No really, the rumors beating about the web stating that he is somehow moving on from Apple advertising efforts is simply not true.
Apparently there was some confusion when word got out that his company was doing some personal [...]

Android, iPhone And Windows Mobile Considered

Android is not nor will it likely ever be a threat to the iPhone. This being said, I do see it as a significant threat to Windows Mobile. See, enterprise users that want a true Enterprise level phone are likely either going to use the BlackBerry or setup an iPhone with as many enterprise ready [...]

It’s About The Applications

I rarely agree with Scoble much on tech issues. However this article illustrates one instance where I believe he is spot on. These days, it is the most used applications that win the mobile game. Clearly for more and more people, this means the iPhone.
Take the Amazon Kindle app for instance. Until the Kindle comes [...]

Not A Netbook

Okay, so clearly a Tablet computer is definitely in Apple’s future. With all of the speculation rolling around, Apple would be foolish not to act on all of the hype by this point. There is just so much opportunity out there.
Now the question is what it is to be used for? Is this to be [...]

Poor Mans Mac Server

To be honest, I have a number of mixed feelings on the idea of a Mini Server edition. I mean, the Mini was always best targeted to the new Apple users who did not wish to drop $1000+ on a new computer first time in.
But with the changing economy, comes the need for a cost [...]

Airport And Time Capsule Upgrades

Honestly have never been too impressed with the AirPort Extreme or the Time Capsule. This being said, the improvements being described here sound like they are long overdue.
The new antenna design for the AP Extreme are great to have available for sure, while the bugs plaguing the Time Capsule in the past appears to be [...]

No More Jailbreaking?

Seems like Apple is really out to stop jailbreaking no matter how many people it may tick off. Then again, it is their device, they make it very clear that it is NOT open in any way. So blocking jailbreaking should not shock many.
What will eventually happen is enough people will find this unacceptable and [...]

Mac Sales Still Going Strong

Despite the fact that we are still very much in a troubled economy, ripe with job loss, Apple is seeing Mac sales doing quite well everything considered. And to that end, computer sales overall, appear to have recovered greatly despite the continued economic troubles felt by other industries.
With the upcoming release of the Windows 7 [...]

Snow Leopard Is Really On The Spot

Wow, according to this article is looks like Apple is finally looking into the data loss (or misplacement) issue that the Internet has been abuzz about lately. This is a good thing. It’s actually rather sad, as it does seem like Snow Leopard was filled with entirely too much yellow snow in its initial release. [...]

Apple Sales Go Up With Windows Releases

Word on the street is that Apple’s Mac sales actually do better than Microsoft opts to release a new version of Windows. Honesty, not being a fan of either, I am fairly comfortable with either in a state of new release and I was skeptical about this news.
Still, as the link demonstrates above, clearly it [...]

iPhone Is The Winner

Lately I have NOT been in love with my iPhone’s constant memory leaks or the given network available for us in the U.S. Regardless, the folks over at J.D. Power have shown that smartphone owners are happier people.
The areas in which the iPhone was specifically awarded high marks generally seemed accurate. However in the section [...]
