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 [...]
iWork To Surge In Sales
In the past, iWork was always sort of second cast to the Microsoft Office option for Apple users. But this article indicates that this could very well change if everything holds true.
Despite the strong sales for 2009, I still don’t get the appeal iWork vs Office? Not to say that I am an Office fan [...]

Apple?s Kindle Killer?

Despite all of this, we do know that the Kindle is likely have better [...]
People Wanted Their iPhones For X-Mas
Lousy economy or otherwise, the data seen here seems to indicate that records were being destroyed with Apple product sales. The master of this race, appears to be from the Apple App Store.
With App Store growth of over 15% over Oct vs Dec, Apple is sitting pretty well with these numbers. Don’t think there is [...]
