Twitter Tips Sink Ships
It seems as though everyone in the world is on Twitter now. Sadly, not all of them know how to utilize this fabulous tool to maximize their outreach. The reach you can have by using social media can be staggering. However, you have to know how to use the service correctly to get your message [...]
Valve Coming To The Mac
Steam online is coming to the Mac, thanks to Valve. A big win for OS X gamers, while those on Windows likely are rolling their eyes with thoughts on how long this has actually taken. After all, this is waaaay overdue, right? Snide thoughts aside, this is clearly going to be a big win for [...]
Dealing With Addictive iPhones
Here’s some fairly obvious news – the iPhone is considered to be addictive! No, really? That’s the take on this report stating that young people are falling victim to this obsession everyday. There can be no question that jumping from one app to another, using the iPhone, is easy.
On the flip side, the above linked [...]
Wi-Fi: Apple?s Enemy?
Are we seriously to believe that Wi-Fi is to become the enemy of Apple products? Well, at least for apps in the App Store, apparently. Seems that we now need to concern ourselves with the fact that Apple’s App Store is beginning to ban products that can help people avoid the horrible AT&T network.
So kiss [...]
The $1000 iPhone App
Imagine for a second, one single application on the iPhone’s app store for a solid grand USD. Yes, there have been other applications in the Apple app store that have cost this much money, but this might be the first one that could actually warrant such a cost.
Described as an application to help with would [...]
Apple Apps Worth Billions
Apple is apparently, a defining force in the world of mobile application sales. What is interesting, is that this was not always the case. Seeing Apple turn app sales into a multi-billion dollar business, is something that should be studied by anyone who cares to duplicate this kind of success.
No, I believe that the above [...]
The iMac To Get Touchy-feely
Well news of Apple working on a 22 inch touch screen Mac is great news for Apple fans to be sure. However it should be noted that touch screen computers are hardly a new concept. As a matter of fact, Windows PCs has had them for sometime now. HP has had this kind of technology [...]

Kill Safari On The iPhone
It’s unbelievable that ForChan would get their browser banned because of what could be used to display adult content. But sadly we are seeing the same ability on Safari.
So this begs the question: should we just ban Safari then? It is capable in doing the same exact thing, after all. I mean banning a browser [...]
iPhone On Steroids
There have been a lot of people wondering what the point is with the iPad. Seriously, some have even pointed out that the iPad is basically an iPhone on Steroids, to a degree.
To point out how true this actually is, could almost be funny. The reality is that it’s actually a step backwards in many [...]
Piracy Killing the App Store?
Is Apple taking a huge hit from piracy? You wouldn’t think so based on what has been seen from Apple’s recent profits. The fact that anyone is actually concerned about Apple’s IP being stolen is almost side-splitting.
Why would I say such a thing? Simple. First of all, whining about it does nothing to stop the [...]

iKlear Complete Kit Review
For Christmas 2009, I received a white, unibody MacBook; to go along with that, my mum purchased me the iKlear Complete Cleaning Kit. It was recommended to my mum by Apple at the time when she purchased the MacBook. The iKlear kit was £19.95, and includes many items. These are:One 2 oz./58.9 ml iKlear spray [...]
The Sony Hackintosh
Why do people have an obsession with running OS X on PCs and notebooks rather than merely sticking with the logical purchase of a Mac? Seems like folks just borrowing trouble to me, but perhaps instead I am missing a bigger picture.
Well as it turns out, it is not all that difficult to run OS [...]
Windows 7 Beats Out OS X
Obviously not the kind news anyone wants to really hear. But it sounds like we are seeing evidence of Windows 7 beating out OS X for overall market share according to this article.
But with all being fair in love and war, I do believe that the iPhone destroyed Windows Mobile in the mobile sector. Could [...]
