Apple Computer

By John Biggs Yes, I knew Apple would never add Flash. Yes, I knew it was probably an accident that they showed Flash. But Apple, as we see, does nothing without running it past a vat full of lawyers. That they showed Flash on an iPad running on the NY Times website was clearly a mistake and, more [...]

By Kyle VanHemert Mark valiantly continued his defective yellow-screened iMac crusade and showed off the internal Apple memo someone leaked him. John interviewed the Panera Bread iMac Man. In the form of an HTML5 web app, Google Voice makes its way to the iPhone and the Palm Pre.

By jacqui@arstechnica.com (Jacqui Cheng) Do we even need to summarize what this week's top Apple news was all about? Aside from iPad mania, Apple also announced a record fiscal quarter and the Ars staff opined on what we want out of iPhone OS 4.0 and more. Read on for the good stuff.

By matt buchanan It feels like a repeat of the same shit Universal Music, and later, NBC Universal pulled with iTunes, trying to counter the leverage Apple had because of iTunes' insane marketshare. Same situation here, really: Content provider wants more money/control over their content, fights with...

By Matt Burns The iPad’s fate isn’t in the hands of Apple. Jobs & Co. has done their part and made the device. The iPad’s success lies solely in the hands of developers. Because unlike the iPhone or iPod touch, the iPad doesn’t really have a core function. The iPhone is nothing more than a glorified telepho...

By chris.foresman@arstechnica.com (Chris Foresman) The iPod touch—another small, handheld Apple device—also got left out of the camera club with the most recent hardware update. Even without a camera, though, Apple recorded a 55 percent year-over-year growth in iPod touch sales last quarter. An integrated camera may have boosted that nu...

By Mark Wilson Can You Safely Buy a New iMac Yet? Nope. Quote of the Week, Apple Apologist Edition "Running a business is difficult." And maybe, just maybe, Apple will choose to test their new products on someone other than their customers next time.

By Peter Burrows 1. A More Hands-Off Approach: Apple could have announced an iNewstand (or somesuch name) wing of the iTunes store yesterday, along with the new iBook Store. But it didn't. Instead, it had the New York Times get up and show off an App it is building specifically for the iPad. So it's no leap to assu...

By Kevin Whipps From a long-time (1981) Apple/Mac user (me): The new iPad is a great concept, but after an in depth look at it, unlike the iPod and iPhone, I (and I believe the general public at large) will not be purchasing one until MAJOR flaws and omissions are rectified.

By Mark Wilson Apple didn't really sell this point, but it's the single biggest benefit of the iPad: speed. It feels at least a generation faster than the iPhone 3GS. Lags and waits are gone, and the OS and apps respond just as quickly as you'd hope. Rotating between portrait and landscape modes, especially...

By matt buchanan The medium is the message, supposedly. The iPod was a flaming telegram to the music industry; the iPhone, a glowing billboard about the way we'd consume software. The Apple tablet? Possibly no less than the reinvention of the digital word. If you look very generally at the content that defin...

By Dan Nosowitz This vintage NYTimes review, dated September 23, 1993, is remarkable for how forward-thinking it was—except it's clear now, more than 16 years later, that the Newton isn't the ancestor of a tablet as we currently conceive of it. The Newton was the pre-iPhone.

By Rosa Golijan There were complaints that the first firmware update fix for flickering iMac screens made no difference, but now there are whispers that a "combination software and driver patch" will come in "roughly three weeks." The timeline for this fix is based on what customers are reporting they'...

By jeff.smykil@gmail.com (Jeff Smykil) The company has also been working with EA to show off the tablet's gaming potential. With all of this content being available for the device, Apple is hoping that one will end up in your home—but that one won't be enough because everyone will have a use for it. 

By Jesus Diaz At the marketing level, it would be illogical to waste the power that the sheer number of iPhone/iPod Touch applications give to this platform. Does this mean that the Apple Tablet would run the same applications as the iPhone, just bigger, at full screen?

By Darrell Etherington Never before has a company had the kind of power that Apple now wields. Simply by planting a seed about a potential upcoming product development, they can change the direction of an entire industry. Imagine if the Mac maker was never even planning on creating a tablet to begin with, but just w...

By Mark Wilson Call me paranoid, but I believe it to be true: Yesterday, after posting my threat, Apple tracked down my non-Gizmodo email I used to purchase the iMac and flagged my account to block exchanges. Either way, my hands are completely tied. Luckily, yours are not.

By editors@tidbits.com (TidBITS Publishing) I'm glad I waited both for the iPhone 3GS and the iPhone OS 3.0. I won't bore you with the many reasons why I'm thrilled with the former (passable camera, video capabilities, and GPS are among them), but I needed copy and paste for my iPhone to be more than an expensive toy. So thank you Apple, for m...
