What do you say? It can’t just go up […]
If you ask me, the iPhone shown yesterday is easely the most exciting product of the past decade, if not longer. The iPhone really is something you would expect in a Sci-Fi movie and not in the present reality. There’s no doubt, this product will sell, even at the current price tag.
However, there’s one thing […]
Mac users are really not known for overclocking their hardware, so maybe it is a good idea to start with a warning:
The following software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. If you destroy your costly 9800 Pro or your now worthless Rage 128 because of a bug in this program or your careless utilization of it, […]
What’s the worst thing that could happen to your Mac? What do you fear the most? I’m sure for most computer users the worst case scenario is losing data because of a hard disk failure, especially for those that don’t do regular backups. Now wouldn’t it be cool to get a warning at least a […]
If you’re a professional photographer and a Mac user that makes hundreds of digital shots each day, than I’m sure you’re as exited as me about yesterdays Media Event. Not only did Apple reduce the price of the beautiful Cinema displays, showed a quad G5 that is nearly two times as fast as the previously […]
My PowerBook G4 is now 16 months old and the battery in it had to go through exactly 500 load cycles. Now I’m not guessing, that’s the exact number and no, I didn’t count them manually, of course OS X did that for me. There’s an application called coconutBattery that uses Apple’s CoreData technology to […]
Folklore.org is currently collecting stories from the time the original Macintosh computer was built. Many of the stories are written by the people that have worked at Apple on the Macintosh project back in the day.

Two weeks ago, the analysts over at iSupply announced a possible coup (Yahoo News) about a partnership between Apple and Samsung that would have huge consequences for the portable audio player industry.

Only one day after the official announcement, the black 4GB version of the new iPod nano already became the second most popular electronic product at Amazon and will most likely become number one later this day! At the same time the white 4GB iPod nano only made it to position 17. The color white was […]
Walter Mossberg from the Wall Street Journal had the pleasure to test the nano, Apple’s replacement for the iPod mini, for a few days, here’s his review. Some quotes:
It’s not only beautiful and incredibly thin, but I found it exceeds Apple’s performance claims.
In fact, the nano has the best combination of beauty and functionality of […]
You know what? I couldn’t care less about the rumored video iPod everyone is expecting next week (Sept. 7). I don’t want my iPod to become bigger and video just isn’t a very useful feature on such a small device. Doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t add video support, it really can’t be that hard to […]
As announced last week, Intel has now shown their new line of x86 chips. Thirst thing you should do is forget everything you know about Gigahertz, that’s not important anymore, because the new Gigahertz is “performance per watt”. Steve Jobs has used the term to explain Apple’s switch to Intel chips and now Intel is […]
The official reason for the Intel switch is “performance per watt” and Intel’s processor roadmap. Most thought that just the normal evolution of the current low power Intel chips and IBM’s problems was reason enough for Apple’s decision, but why only Intel and not any x86 compatible chip? Most did answer this question with something […]
Just a few days ago I’ve talked about reasons why Apple is still using a one button mouse. Yesterday they released a new mouse that at first looks and acts like the usual one button mouse with a small scroll wheel on top of it, but after a second look the new mouse is much […]
