iAlertU is a super clever anti-theft software package that sounds the alarm in the event of an attempted laptop theft.

Apparently iTunes and the iPod hold a major stake in the future of music. In just a few years, the iTunes Music Store has become the most powerful and popular music retailer in the world. How powerful? Apple has enough clout to tell the greedy big four music companies (Universal, Warner, SonyBMG and EMI) how much they should charge for music.

This sign was found late last night (April 22) on the 3rd floor of the Manhattan Port Authority bus station.

Steve Jobs revealed this week that Apple is building a new, 50-acre corporate campus. They plan to tear down 9 different adjacent properties about 1-mile away from their current campus and build their second home.

Ok so what’s in it for me? I didn’t lease my Mac! I find this interesting but don’t see this going anywhere. I still have my G4/400 and before I give-it-back to Apple, I would hand it down to my son or family member to use. Now if they mentioned some sort of discount (which [...]

Chances are an iPod vending machine is coming to a location near you.

Before the iPod and the iPod Hi-Fi, there was the 1993 Apple PowerCD.

It’s all the buzz… BootCamp stops users from booting back into Mac OSX. It’s BETA people! Yes if you don’t know what this means, you should not be installing it, nor should be trying to DUAL BOOT you’re Mac. I’m amazed that it is even getting this much attention at all. It’s BETA people! [...]

I like Safari, but Firefox is my browser of choice. Needless to say I was happy to read; Firefox is now available with Universal Binary support for Mac OS X providing native support for Macintosh with Intel Core processors. W00t that’s me baby! If you have a Mactel and been wating… wait no more, [...]

A few weeks back Applensider reported on rumors that talks were taking place in a potential deal between the NFL and Apple to offer game content for sale through the iTunes Music Store. The NFL’s current internet licensing deal, which is being handled by CBS Corp., is expiring in May and the NFL is said [...]

I’m probably being a little unreasonable here, but for some reason this just irks me.

Better yet, it vexes me. I am extremely vexed. (yes that is from Gladiator, but I always wanted to use that line and this was my chance. Sue me)
How many of those 22 years was spent copying what came out [...]

Apple’s "Mecca" begins to be unveiled Originally uploaded by bhaggs.
Flickr continues to deliver on new shots of Apple’s upcoming midtown Manhattan location. This one gives us a tiny look inside the much ballyhooed 30 foot tall glass cube that will serve as the entranceway to the [...]

I realize that since some of the biggest news the Mac universe has ever seen broke onto the scene, namely Boot Camp, I have been kind of quiet. That has little to do with Apple and my excitement regarding the prospects of an "official" dual booting solution, and more to do with the fact that [...]

Geekboy graduates Boot Camp. That’s right, I had to jump on the Intel Mac dual boot bandwagon! I downloaded Boot Camp, updated the firmware, and crossed my fingers. I must say… I’m impressed with the whole setup process and amazed how easy it was getting WindowsXP Pro up–and–running. The installation was smooth, the driver CD [...]

Well that didn’t take long. As reported on TUAW it looks like Windows chokes and shows us why we decided to make the switch to the MacOS X! Welcome to the “Blue Screen of Death.” Since this is only a beta version and geeks like me ran home to DL Boot Camp to try it [...]

Not too much to say at this point, except that the gauntlet has been thrown down.

More and more people are buying and loving Macs. To make this choice simply irresistible, Apple will include technology in the next major release of Mac OS X, Leopard, that lets you install and run the Windows XP operating [...]

I could say that I started out writing this post to highlight the different philosophies some have on applying OS X updates in light of yesterdays release of 10.4.6. I could even point out that I have, at least to date, been firmly in the "repair permissions first and apply the combo updater from secondary [...]

On April 1, 2006 Apple celebrated it’s 30th birthday. To celebrate the company’s birthday, Wired News has a series of special features this month that can be viewed here.

After months of deliberation (and begging my better half for a new toy) I’m here to reenlist. That’s right; I took the plunge and purchased an “Intel Core Duo Mac mini.” At last the Mini debate is over. This geek is excited about coming back to the Mac, and knows selecting a Core Duo [...]

You ever have one of those birthdays when you were a kid where you really really wanted that one thing. You know the thing you were begging your parents for incessantly the months and weeks leading up to your big day. And for some inexplicable reason your parents failed to heed your cries of desperation [...]

Dilbert on how the "other guys" handle marketing their MP3 players.
 

I was wondering how Apple would mark the end of my "Multi-Pass" for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, on Saturday I got my answer;

A little "click to renew" action, and I can once again resume downloading my daily dose of "fake news". It doesn’t get any easier than that.

In this video clip from 1991, Steve Jobs shows off Release 3 of the NeXTSTEP operating system.

This past Thursday GeekBoy and I convened for our first official StationA.net staff meeting at the brick & mortar Station A, Apple SoHo, to discuss future plans for the site, touching on subjects as site redesign, the kind of content we would like to introduce to you the readers, the recruitment of additional staff writers, [...]

Flickr user "Presta" has posted a photo of the continued construction of Apple’s new store on 5th Ave in Midtown Manhattan, rumored to be the first ever Apple retail location to be open 24/7. As in previous pictures, the focus [...]

 
It’s the morning of the big day and we still have yet to see a single invitation to a highly anticipated media event, Photoshopped camera phone pictures of a soon to be released mouth-wateringly delicious product taken secretly in the back of some Chinese manufacturing plant, leaked insider info from a "reliable source", or even [...]
