Finally do we no longer have to keep asking Mark Zuckerberg when his iPad app will be hitting the public spectrum. After months of speculation, delays, sneak peeks, and even a dead giveaway, us iPad users finally have our Facebook. Unsurprisingly, it looks almost identical to the hidden iPad app that was included in the iPhone app update back in July. It hasĀ a nice, two-pane view and strongly re...
Apple announced yesterday a new addition to the iPhone family in the form of the iPhone 4S. While it’s not the iPhone 5 that everyone was expecting, the 4S does come packing with a healthy speed upgrade that’s complemented by iOS 5, as well as a few exclusive features. First off, Apple talked about the new update to iOS and went through some of the new features included. We’ve kn...
Apple is now the biggest, most successful technology company in the world, by revenue, profit, and market capitalization. How did it achieve this amazing feat and in such a short space of time? Is it one or two individuals who made all the difference? Or the products and how they’re presented to the public? Steve Jobs The most obvious candidate as the true genius behind Apple’s rise to...
It’s no secret that Macs have a problem with media playback, shipping with extremely limited options available. Some media files are simply unplayable without third party software. That’s part of the reason why players like VLC have become so popular (it’s the only player I will use). But where’s the fun in that? Where are all the choices? What about democracy? That’s...
Just in time for all the back-to-school shenanigans, Apple has silently added a cheaper iMac model to its lineup of all-in-ones. This new 21.5-incher is priced at just a dollar shy of $1,000 and comes packed with a last-generation 3.1GHz Intel Core i3 processor, 2GB of RAM, 250GB of hard drive real estate, 256MB of AMD Radeon HD 6750M graphics, and has OS X Lion pre-installed. However, a Thunderbo...
It’s pretty impressive that a company that only sells one type of phone in a given year has grabbed the top spot of the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer (it’s also pretty impressive that the same company has more cash than the U.S. government). Apple now owns 19.1 percent of the smartphone market share followed by Samsung with 16.2 percent and Nokia, RIM, and HTC finishing...
Being Canadian, the extent of capitalism always comes as a bit of a shock to me. Things like transit systems, something government-operated in Canada, are privately run and filled with outside advertising. I specifically noticed this when riding the subway in New York City, which is why I was less surprised than normal when I heard about Apple striking a deal with MTA. The deal would allow for Cup...
We already mentioned it earlier today, but the new Mac OS, version 10.7 (nicknamed Lion), was released today. At $29.99 for an upgrade version, it’s not exactly expensive, but as with any purchase, you want to make sure that you’re going to get something good for your money. That’s why we decided to put together a list of changes you can expect from the upgrade. Multi-Touch Gestu...
Today is a big day for Apple. They’ve released updated versions of their MacBook Air and the Mac Mini along with finally unleashing the Mac OS X Lion into the Mac App Store. Their new MacBook Airs are now equipped with newer Sandy Bridge chips, Thunderbolt ports, and backlit keyboards. The 11-inch model includes a 1.6GHz Core i5 processor, 64GB of solid-state storage, 2GB of RAM, and starts ...
CloudPull is an app that will back up the contents of your Google Docs, Reader, Calendar, and Contacts, but is available exclusively to Apple users using Mac OS 10.6 or 10.7. Sorry, PCs. It’s available for a 30 day free trial, but costs $24.95 if you’d like to use it permanently. This is your home screen. Once I logged in, the app was an absolute breeze to use and setup. CloudPu...
