A whole lot of Apple nostalgia for this week. Does Apple announce every major product in January? First up is the 10 year anniversary of the iPad. I have my thoughts from 10 years ago. It’s funny reading stuff that I wrote ten years ago. The iPad was the first (and so far, last) device that I have ever pre-ordered… Read more →

Apple announced yesterday at their event that the newest version of OS X, version 10.9 (Mavericks), will be free to all Macintosh computers that can run it. This is pretty amazing, we can finally keep all of our Macs on the same OS instead of us currently supporting three different versions. But for hackintosh users, it means that there is… Read more →

Too bad they didn’t include Garageband, but for schools… Read more →

No matter what your thoughts are of Steve Jobs, the man had a knack for going… Read more →
Apple announced the iPhone 5 today and updates to the iPod line. Most of the announcements were lackluster at best, but the event laid the groundwork for the rumored iPad mini event in October, which could be even more disastrous than the iPhone 5 event today. The iPhone 5 is a nice upgrade, thinner and lighter, but at the same… Read more →
Since Steve Jobs blessed my MacBook Air and I received it two day early, I’ve had almost a week to investigate the 11″ MacBook Air. I opted to max it out, so it has 4GB of RAM, 128GB Solid State Drive (SSD) and the 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU. The educational price was \$1,329, which was almost more than… Read more →
