Hey everybody, there’s a new iTunes out! The venerable music app is now 11 versions old and this marks the biggest departure in its interface since it was introduced back in the fuzzy days of 2001. iTunes 1.0 originally started out as an application called SoundJam MP and for a fascinating tour down memory lane, [...]
Apple released OS X 10.7.2 this week and they’ve flipped the bit on the iCloud service making it available for everyone. This service replaces MobileMe which I’ve been a user of since it was called .Mac. I use it for an email account, some convenient webdav storage (that happens to be pretty slow) and for [...]
Announce in September alongside release of iOS5. iPhone 5 will have a dual core (A5) processor, 1GB of RAM, a slightly larger screen edge-to-edge but approximately the same form factor.

A couple of years ago when I got my first iPod touch, I wrote up a small wishlist of things I’d like to see it be able to do. That was back in 2008 and I’m happy to report that 3 out of 5 things have been done. Not bad, but the number one thing [...]
I got an iPad. Shocking! I’d like to say that deb (who has some good app recommendations here) made me get an iPad, or that it was forced on me but that’s not really the case. I wanted one despite my efforts to not want one. The iPad represents a shift towards a kind of [...]
