Apple has finally unveiled a bluetooth version of it’s Mighty Mouse. When the original, wired Mighty Mouse was released last year, I was underwhelmed. I remember a reviewer wrote “now excrement comes in white.” However, I’ve been using the Mighty Mouse for the past two months, and I really like it – I find it […]
Today Apple released it’s 2006 third quarter financial report. Results roundly exceeded analyst expectations. The company posted a quarterly profit of $472m, which works out to 54 cents per diluted share, from a net revenue of $4.37 billion dollars. Billion! Profits are up 47% from a year ago. iPod sales are still growing, though slower […]
Have you ever noticed that iCal’s icon reads July 17 ? Well, as noted over at TUAW, today is July 17. Today is iCal day – the one day a year when the iCal icon is in sync with the date. The reason the iCal icon reads “Jul 17” is because iCal was revealed to […]
We’re barely past the fourth of July, and parents, teachers, and students are already planning their back-to-school tech purchases.

Morgan and I noticed the online Apple store was down yesterday. We thought that Apple would have done another silent release of a product but appears nothing really happened. It was just down for maintenance and removal of some items. According to TUAW nothing was removed from US stores but in EU the eMac, Airport […]
There’s a great article in Variety Magazine this morning, about Apple’s attempts at allowing full-length movie downloads through the iTunes music store. This has been rumored ever since the music store went live April 28, 2003. Apparently Steve Jobs has been on a campaign at the major Hollywood studios, trying to cement deals that would […]
Remember those really funny Apple Ads that Apple released a month ago or so. Well they have 3 new ones out and they’re just as good! You can watch them right here. I was listening to one of my many podcasts last week and one of the people on the show mentioned how much the […]
Shows like CSI, Survivor and Numb3rs can now be downloaded through the iTunes Music Store. Episodes are $1.99 each or you can buy the entire season.

Today is the one-year anniversary of the Apple-Intel alliance. It was June 6, 2005, when Steve Jobs made the official announcement at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference.
