R.I.P mouse?

Cult of Mac reports We’ve gotten word from a previously reliable source that Apple is discontinuing the Magic Mouse in favor of the Magic Trackpad. Our retail source has informed us that Magic Mouse inventory is not being replenished for Apple stores, and that Apple is finally phasing out the Magic Mouse. Its been a while since I have used my Magic Mouse, with Lion you end up needing the Magic...

The only time you will see Apple make something...

Image from This is My Next The early iPhone 5 mockups indicate that the home button is going to be huge! The Russians used a pencil: I believe that if this new gesture region is in fact coming to the iPhone, it will be used for only one thing: switching between open apps. We can all agree that the current multitasking solution (double clicking the home button and then tapping the respective...

Google tries Social again! →

Loads of reactions to google+ Some positive Marshall Kirkpartick I thought I’d type up some notes after an evening of using Google’s new social network, Google Plus. This is a really big deal, a super ambitious effort involving scores of engineers over months of near total secrecy. (Though some helpful sources and I scooped the core Circles part of all this three months ago.) The...

No Email? →

Business Insider: When Research In Motion shipped the PlayBook without native email support, it was surprising. After all, RIM’s greatest strength is a killer email-application for BlackBerrys. Why didn’t it have email baked into the PlayBook? Turns out it had to skip native email support on the PlayBook because its architecture can’t support two devices with one...

Apple Legal's letter to Lodsys →

Apple letter to Lodsys Apple is undisputedly licensed to these patents and the Apple App Makers are protected by that license. There is no basis for Lodsys’ infringement allegations against Apple’s App Makers. Apple intends to share this letter and the information set out herein with its App Makers and is fully prepared to defend Apple’s license rights. I doubt Lodsys will continue to pursue...

Far too much →

Reuters writes: Microsoft Corp’s move to buy money-losing Internet phone service Skype for $8.5 billion was immediately skewered by critics and investors, who questioned the logic of the deal and suggested the software giant is paying far too much. $8.5 billion is a lot of money for a company that does not make a profit, net loss of $7 million last year. From the looks of it they are...

The AOL fiasco

Eric D Snider remarks: The transition was going to be arduous and complicated. This was particularly true for the people who write AOL’s press releases, who had to work overtime issuing statements with business terms like “restructuring” (which means firing people), “streamlining” (which also means firing people), “re-branding” (which means making people...

I am a sucker for colour

Laurens Laudowicz explains why he created his Kickstarter project : Why not COLORFUL cables? In our world every MP3 player, phone, laptop and other digital device has many options for colorful accessories that add personality to YOUR device. Lot’s of cases, earphones, speakers and more and they all come in various colors. All except the charging cable. They are pretty much always either...

time savers

Apple Matters writes: As great as Apple software is, we’ve all benefited from dozens of iPhone and other iOS applications that overshadow or completely replace some of Apple’s default apps on our mobile devices. For whatever reason, Apple seems reluctant to upgrade its mobile apps until several versions later. But luckily, smart, enterprising developers fill the gaps. Let’s...
