Apple is now backpedaling on a recent initiative to decrease retail staffing and make cuts at some of their more “bloated” international stores. This is the second high-profile acknowledgment of a “mistake” on Apple’s part in recent weeks, with Apple … Continue reading

It’s always a pleasure to read his reviews, and that’s largely due to his intense attention to detail. Here are some highlights of things that I found to be “additional” of what most already know about the OS: Coverage of … Continue reading

I find Geekbench to be the most accurate predictor of products that Apple will release, hence why I will repost it here.

This is actually pretty big news, and here’s why from Edward Moyer for CNET: The U.S. government requires that 95 percent of its electronics bear the EPEAT seal of approval; large companies such as Ford and Kaiser Permanente require their CIOs … Continue reading

The first time in a long time that people get delayed orders. Apple’s high quality standard is likely effecting display creation, which probably doesn’t have the best yield right now.

Interesting finding in the new Podcast app from Apple. I think that paid podcasts would certainly be a possibility, especially ones that deliver high quality content. I’d even take it a step further and say that traditional print media would … Continue reading

Great find by Graham Cluley: Apple has changed their marketing messaging to reflect the recent malware attacks. I guess this means that Macs are PCs as well.
