  • The community at Facebook didn’t seem to think that having a Facebook application made just for the iPad was necessary, or so we thought. Apparently, they have gone back on their word that the iPad was not a mobile device suited for a mobile Facebook application, and actually not only developed an iPad application, but released it unknowingly in an update somewhat recently (like two days ago). According to Techcrunch’s MG Siegler, “All of this is possible apparently thanks to a seemingly tiny update Facebook pushed yesterday to their iPhone app. Version 3.4.4 seemed like a small version that restored the “Send” button for comments and chat among a few other little...

  • Bad news for any pro-AT&T users like myself, or AT&T themselves, the Chair of the US Senate’s Anti-trust Subcommittee (Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis.)  is seeking to block the AT&T  - T-Mobile merger. He had this to say: ”I have concluded that this acquisition, if permitted to proceed, would likely cause substantial harm to competition and consumers, would be contrary to antitrust law and not in the public interest, and therefore should be blocked by your agencies.” Top Democrats of the house also agreed, stating the following: “We believe that AT&T’s acquisition of T-Mobile would be a troubling backward step in federal public policy–a retrenchment from nearly two decades of promoting competition and...

  • While we are still wondering what Apple has decided to do with the classic white MacBook, we are going to talk a little about the new Mac Mini, as we fear it will get lost in the hype of Lion and the new MacBook Air’s. We of course, will feature the MacBook Air, just not right this second. So, what has changed with the new Mini? We could start with price, the new Mini starts at $599 and comes with a 2x performance boost both in processor and graphics ability. In addition, the Mac Mini has been updated to be on par with the other members of the Mac line...

  • So the long awaited OS X Lion has arrived today, as well as some new MacBook Air’s and we will be talking about both in great detail over the next few days. But while Apple shuttered their online store early this morning, did they not just add, but remove some products? Head over to Apple.com and you will be greeted either with the “king of desktops” image or the new MacBook Air, now take a trip over to the Mac tab. Looks nice, clean, but perhaps one product short? Yes it appears that Apple has removed the classic white plastic from their Mac product line, opting to make the lowest...

    Wait, where is the white plastic? Update.

  • I personally expected OS X Lion to be available at 12:01AM today, but I was wrong. Currently the Apple online store is down, prepping for OS X Lion. But what else could be coming? Rumors have it that Lion will launch with new MacBook Air’s, possible new Mac Mini’s, and possibly a long over due refresh for the classic white MacBook? We will just have to wait and see. So get your credit cards ready Mac fans, $30 and it’s time to roar. Update: New MacBook Air announced, more on that coming soon. Currently the online store is open and I am going to be downloading OS X Lion now....

  • Way to impress Apple, way to impress! In Apple’s earnings call today, the company shared some fantastic news for any stockholders out there: The company made a staggering $28.57 billion dollars in revenue! That’s most impressive. That’s up from the $15.7 billion the same time last year. Some obvious contributions to the massive amount of coin earned is the updated iLife applications, the very successful Macbook Air, the most-powerful iMac yet (4 cores for everyone! Yay!), and the always successful iPhone. Per share amounts were $7.79 over last year’s $3.51. Here’s the sales numbers: 3.95 M Macs (14% year-over-year unit increase) 20.34 M iPhones (142% yoy increase) 7.54 M iPods...

  • You’ve read correctly folks, the famed OS X addition Lion is coming tomorrow to the Mac App Store for the thoughtfully thought-out price of $30. The best way to see Mac OS X Lion is that of an addition. This is 10.7, not Mac OS 11. This new OS builds on top of the success of the Macintosh operating system by adding great new features such as new multi-touch gestures, Mission Control for controlling and previewing all your open applications, Launchpad, for finding and launching all the applications on your Mac, full-screen applications for easier viewing of the media in the app, Resume for opening an app right where you left off...
