  • We knew the day would come, when Apple would come forward and announce a new Time Capsule. It certainly took quite a while but we finally have it. Just yesterday, Apple announced it will be releasing a new Time Capsule. Besides a number of new features, it most importantly features a 3TB hard drive, because you need it. Actually, to be brutally honest, that’s it. All this update was, was a hard drive size increase. Hey, but it’s helpful! More and more computers (especially those that bear an Apple logo) are becoming commonplace, and everyone should backup their computer. And you need somewhere for the files to go, hence the...

  • Unless MacRumors is wrong (which they are often not), iCloud may or may not allow a person to continue backing up their device and receiving emails once the current 5GB limit is reached. Also, in fantastic news, Final Cut Pro X is now available via the Mac App Store. Read on for more details on both.

  • Sorry gents, you did read that right. Apple has finally gotten their “Buy a Mac for College” page up, but this time, the typical “Get a free iPod Touch” promotion has been replaced by a “Get $100 in purchases from the Mac App Store”. Now for some, this promotion will be great, seeing as so many people already own some sort of iDevice and don’t need another one, but if you were looking forward to grabbing yourself one with your next Mac purchase, maybe something to sell on Craigslist, you’re out of luck.

    Getting a Mac for college? No more iPod Touch.

  • The last thing any company wants is a recall — and Apple certainly isn’t that company. In fact, in recent memory, I can’t think of a time Apple had to recall something. Sadly, those days are somewhat over. Due to an issue the second generation iPad 2′s are experiencing, a small number of them have been recalled. The company told Reuters “Duplicate MEID codes were flashed onto an extremely small number of iPad units for the Verizon 3G network”. The Mobile Equipment Identifier allows a device to connect to the internet over a network. These numbers, self contained to each device (one code per tablet, no duplicates allowed) are sent to...

  • iMessage is a clear competitor to Blackberry’s famous BBM service they launched a while back. And while this service is pretty awesome for Blackberry owners, the number of these owners is steadily decreasing, due mostly in part to the increasingly better features found on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 7. At WWDC this last Monday, Scott Forstall and Greg Joswiak showed off Apple’s new competitor to the service: iMessage. iMessage is more than just a messaging service between iPhones; it’s a way to keep in touch with anybody using a device with iOS 5 built-on. The most interesting part of the service is probably the speed. You’ll know things like when a person begins...

  • Yesterday Apple had more then a little to talk about. With the announcement of iOS 5 shipping this fall, the demo’s of OS X Lion coming next month, and perhaps the most intriguing announcement, iCloud. For a long time Apple has failed to take advantage of cloud service, failed to show that they understand the cloud. Lets see if they get it now.

    My Thoughts: Lets talk about clouds.

  • It seems that ever tech site has said this but, wow that was fast. Now you can enjoy custom apps, themes, and all the fun that comes with a hole in Apple wall. Well I should say, you can have it this fall. The iPhone Dev Team’s MuscleNerd has confirmed via Twitter that iOS 5 is jailbroken and that this jailbreak will work with the final release of the software. However it is a tethered jailbreak so you will have to plug your device into your computer every time it restarts until the untethered version is released. Thanks dev’s for making our live’s more interesting. Source: 9to5mac. ~Zephaniah Washington Editor-in-chief.

  • It is that time of year again, the World Wide Developers Conference is on in Southern California and Apple has a lot of new things to show to the world. One of the many new things at WWDC 2011 is OS X Lion. Yes, it has been a few years since Mac OS X was upgraded, and this is quite the upgrade. 250+ new features as Apple puts it. New multi-touch gestures, full screen apps like iPhoto, iMovie, Safari, and more, as well as the new iOS-like applications launcher. And, Apple has added their new Resume feature which allows you to pick up exactly where you left off, as well...

  • The WWDC keynote has come and gone – and boy has it left us with our jaws open. While other people on this site will be covering other parts of the keynote, I will be talking about iOS 5, and the major overhauls that entail it. From the new notification system, to the deep iCloud and Twitter integration, iOS has really started to grow up even more. Let’s get a closer look. Deeper integration with Twitter: No longer does iOS make you open the application to use the application’s features (at least for Twitter), the new integration of the said app allows the OS to make better use of Twitter, from...
