  • Not much is known quite yet, but one thing is: Apple’s manufactures have been slipping lately (and over the last few years), and if this is the final design for the next-gen iPhone, it certainly wouldn’t surprise us. Gizchina.com has slipped a few photos in the direction of the internet recently, and the new design matches up pretty well with what we’ve been seeing as the iPhone 5 case. While we won’t be suggesting that this is definitely the final design, it certainly does look quite a bit like final hardware. One thing I must note is that, looking at the above image, looking closely, you can almost make out...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • So far, Apple has been having a hell of a time in the courthouse, and I might say, this is a good thing for them. However, this is bad for HTC, clearly. The ITC has ruled that 2 of the 10 patents Apple accused HTC of infringing on in Apple’s favor; in other words, HTC was found guilty. If everything plays well for Apple, we can expect particular devices manufactured by the Taiwanese company to be banned from reaching US shores. Good for Apple favoritism, bad for those who love HTC. HTC general counsel Grace Lei responded back quickly with the following statement: “HTC will vigorously fight these two remaining patents through an appeal...

  • 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...
