The tweet that infuriated Steve Jobs
For as much of a public showman as Steve Jobs is, he is a notoriously private person, and his obsession with privacy clearly seeps into the culture at Apple where unannounced products are never talked about and product leaks are handled with utmost severity. The latest and greatest product to emerge from Cupertino is the iPad, [...]

Thursday, December 31, 2009
It’s a slow news day for Apple here on New Year’s Eve, so we thought we’d hit you guys up with some offbeat news in the form of an actual twitter app for users still running Mac OS 6 through OS 9. System 6?! Now do these people still exist? Well, legend has it that [...]

If you happen to have an iPhone and/or a Mac (which I assume you do, because, well, why else would you be reading this?) and use Twitter, than you best be using Tweetie, arguably the best Twitter app currently available for the iPhone.

Apple isn’t exactly the most social media friendly company around, and while some companies embrace social media as a means to generate buzz and hype for upcoming products, Apple won’t hesitate to sue bloggers for posting product information before they’re publicly announced. All of which makes Apple’s recent foray into Twitter a pleasant surprise. Apple recently [...]

Tuesday, July 21, 2009
Last week, it came to light that a large number of sensitive and internal Twitter documents had been compromised and sent to the tech news site TechCrunch. Over the course of a few days, TechCrunch selectively published a decent amount of moderately interesting information. But even more interesting than the content of the stolen information [...]

Earlier this week, Tweetdeck came out with an iPhone version of its popular desktop app, and initial reviews seem to be quite positive. On the desktop, we switched over to Tweetie from Tweetdeck a while ago because Tweetdeck was too much of a resource hog and its multi-pane window setup, while nice, didn’t lend itself [...]

Thursday, June 11, 2009
It seems like no one ever has anything bad to say about Tweetie, and we can’t say we’re surprised. Tweetie for the iPhone is a great app, and it was deservedly the recent recipient of an Apple Design Award. The desktop version of Tweetie is just as good, and quickly became our default Twitter client [...]

We’ll give it a full spin ourselves in a little bit, but on first glance, it looks cool as hell. You can purchase or download an [...]

Tuesday, May 5, 2009
The original source of the “Apple is purchasing Twitter!” rumor was Valleywag, so I figured I’d mosey on over there and take a look at what they had to say. What I found was some of the most asinine tech writing and analysis I’ve ever read. I kinda felt like I was reading a Rob [...]
Continue reading...Apple purchasing Twitter = Dumbest Apple rumor of all-time
Tuesday, May 5, 2009
TechCrunch, and other tech blogs, are reporting that “Apple is in late stage negotiations to buy Twitter and is hoping to announce it at WWDC in June.“ This has to be one the dumbest rumors we’ve ever heard. What in the world would ever prompt Apple to even consider purchasing Twitter? And wasn’t TechCrunch the same [...]

Thursday, April 30, 2009
Apple has an interesting writeup on the use of and preference for Macs over at Twitter HQ. Here are a few of the more interesting excerpts: At Twitter, software engineers use Mac systems running the most recent version of Mac OS X. Twitter was built using software tools like Ruby on Rails, which is provided as [...]
