  • How Apple got to 100,000 apps, and why it won’t stop

    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).

Apple Stores to use iPod touch to handle checkouts

by Josh Holat on Oct 29, 2009 at 01:45 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 »

The unboxing of an Apple employee T-Shirt

by Josh Holat on Oct 25, 2009 at 04:44 PM

A couple weeks ago a story floated around the internet about the appearance of a job application from our favorite secretive company, Apple.

Apple updates the iMac

by Ed Parry on Oct 20, 2009 at 06:05 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 10:22 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 »

by Ed Parry on Oct 3, 2009 at 10:49 AM

In case you missed it, Apple’s App Store reached two billion downloads this week, a little after a year since the store first launched for the iPhone and iPod touch. April saw the first billion apps downloaded, with just over half a billion downloaded in the last quarter. There are… Continue Reading »

Online Apple Store is down - just maintenance?

by Ed Parry on Sep 20, 2009 at 08:49 AM

It seems that once again the online Apple Store is down, on a Sunday too. Since it’s only a few weeks since Apple’s latest media event, it’s unlikely that any product updates will appear - it’s more plausible to simply be maintenance updates. Still, the Apple TV has seen slight… Continue Reading »

by Kirk Hiner on Sep 9, 2009 at 10:12 AM

Whenever Apple has a press event, you have to expect the Apple Store to be down. It is now, leaving Apple fanboys everywhere desperately trying to peek beyond the newspaper covered windows to see what’s going on inside. New iPods? An Apple TV update? Counter harmonies and french horns? We’ll… Continue Reading »
