You have a map for that, Verizon? Okay, well I see your map, and raise you an app. 100,000 apps, actually. Apple has announced that developers have created over 100,000 apps for the App Store (only a couple hundred of which have anything to do with farting). This is a… Continue Reading »

Apple’s iTunes App Store has reached a very important milestone: 100,000 available applications. In a marketplace where other companies are struggling to get 1,000 applications available for purchase and download, Apple and the developers with accounts have once again risen to the occasion. 100,000 certainly isn’t a small number, and… Continue Reading »

Apple Stores to use iPod touch to handle checkouts

by Josh Holat on Oct 29, 2009 at 12:45 PM

One of the strangest things about the Apple Stores, in my opinion, is how they always used Windows based PDAs for customer checkouts not at the register. Sure, Apple didn’t want or really need to make their own system, but it was just a little strange to me. Now that… Continue Reading »

Apple updates the iMac

by Ed Parry on Oct 20, 2009 at 05:05 PM

Along with several other updates, Apple gave some lovin’ to the all-in-one machine: the iMac. I believe it’s safe to say these updates have seriously improved the iMac. A few days ago, for serious computing, your best bet was probably the Mac Pro. Now, with up to 16GB of RAM… Continue Reading »

Apple Online Store goes down - are the rumors true?

by Ed Parry on Oct 20, 2009 at 09:22 AM

It seems that John Gruber could, in fact, be correct with his ideas that Apple will release new iMacs, MacBooks (the white plastic model), Mac Minis, and of course a new Mighty Mouse. Almost as though he knew something, the Apple store has indeed gone down this morning, which leads… Continue Reading »
