Apple squashes the rumor that never was
There have been rumors floating around the Internet that Apple was set to unveil updated iMacs and Mac mini’s this coming November. Not surprisingly, the fact that this rumor lacked any foundation in credibility didn’t stop it from evolving from a tiny piece of speculation into a full-fledged prediction. In any event, Apple recently issued […]

27. October 2008
According to Needham Research analyst Charlie Wolfe, Apple has room to cut the price of its iPhone in half, devastate competitors in the process, and go on to rule the smartphone market. There’s only one problem: Wolfe is dead wrong, and provides no analysis to back up his assertions. There are a number of reasons […]

24. October 2008
Apparently the Mac mini and Steve Jobs have a lot in common. AppleInsider is reporting that the Mac mini isn’t going anywhere, despite earlier reports to the contrary. “Earlier this year, however — and shortly after NVIDIA pitched its new integrated graphics chipsets to Apple — AppleInsider reported a pulse in the Mac mini department.

21. October 2008
An interesting article over at ThePulpit talks about Steve Jobs wish for Blu-Ray to die, H.264 in Snow Leopard, HD content distribution via iTunes, and how Apple is positioning itself for future battles against clone makers such as Psystar.

17. October 2008
Over the past 2 weeks, word has been spreading across the web that pre-orders of the new Android based G1 phone were reaching 1.5 million units. This number seemed almost too good to be true. The iPhone 3G, by way of comparison, sold only 1 million units in its first weekend, and it was subject […]
Continue reading...Glass Trackpads and no button on the new MacBook Pro’s
14. October 2008
John Gruber over at Daring Fireball is reporting that the new MacBook Pro’s will have a glass trackpad, and like reported earlier, will not have a separate clickable button on the trackpad.

Engadget has unearthed a photo of what may be the new MacBook Pro that Steve Jobs is slated to showcase tomorrow.

Continue reading...Rumor – Microsoft planning on buying Rim?
13. October 2008
With Rim’s stock price taking a beating in recent weeks, some are speculating that Microsoft might be interested in purchasing the company. The purchase, theoretically, would thrust Microsoft back into relevance in the smart phone market as their mobile OS market share continues to dwindle. For Microsoft’s sake, I hope this rumor isn’t true. Successful […]
