Apple is urging a federal court to reject the Justice Department’s proposed settlement with a group of e-book publishers, calling the terms “fundamentally unfair, unlawful, and unprecedented.” DOJ’s antitrust division sued Apple and five publishers in April, accusing them of colluding to raise the price of e-books. Apple and two publishers, Macmillan and Penguin Group, [...]
Our little print company has yet to develop an iPhone app for numerous reasons, but we still provide a nice “app” looking icon to people who wish to save our mobile website on their iPhone/iPod/iPad home screen. They can do this by selecting “Add to Homescreen.” Basically, when someone saves a website onto their home [...]
One of our most popular articles is reviewing the Apple TV, but that’s fairly old news now and I was getting tired of constantly updating the page. Rather than reviewing the new Apple TV (1080p) and giving it the thumbs up, I decided it would be more beneficial to outline the key features in detail. [...]
It was only a few months ago that techies such as myself were disappointed in Tim Cook’s announcement of the iPhone 4S late October 2010. We were all hungry for a thinner device, wider screen, NFC technology, HDMI outputs and hopefully even super powers. But instead of the sexy new iPhone 5 we eagerly anticipated, [...]
There’s plenty of speculation that Apple is developing an “iTV” but for now, we can at least enjoy Apple TV. As much as I enjoy and use the device (read my review), there are some additions I would love to see in the near future. I can only dream that Apple is listening. The list [...]
Yep, only a couple months after the iPhone 4S release debacle, the iPhone 5 rumors are surfacing everywhere throughout the techno world. It never fails. There’s plenty of rumors concerning the iPhone 5′s specifications, but frankly, I hope they’re wrong on some things. International Business Time reports that Steve Jobs was very involved in the [...]
Today, I’m reading through articles on CNN and come across one by Matt Rosoff of Business Insider called TV isn’t broken, so why fix it? and I couldn’t believe what I was reading. It’s shameful that this article was found in the “Tech” section and I feel obligated to respond. We all know that I’m [...]
Including myself, Apple fans across the globe have mourned the late Steve Jobs. Months ago, when I learned a Steve Jobs biography would be written by Walter Isaacson, I was psyched. A couple years ago, I had read Isaacson’s biography on Einstein (named Einstein), and it became an instant favorite of mine. What’s nice about [...]
I’m sorry to say it, but Apple will become just another tech company and eventually lose its personality, design and inventiveness because all that died with Steve Jobs. Don’t be a hater. I’m a huge Apple fan. It took me awhile to finally cross over, but now I own a Mac, Ipod, Ipod Nano, Iphone, [...]
Today, Adobe Reader for iOS is available free on the Apple App Store. I have to hand it to Adobe…despite iOS’s aggressive pursuit of not supporting Flash products, the company remains dedicated to iOS. This new PDF reader makes it easier than ever to view and interact with any PDF file on your iPhone, iPad [...]
Like other bloggers, especially those in the tech industry, I was mostly disappointed in last week’s Iphone announcement by Apple. Sure, the 4S falls in line with the naming scheme of releases, but I really wanted to see a thinner, wider and lighter Iphone 5. It just didn’t happen. I find it curious that Apple [...]
Coming to us on the Iphone 4S, Cards is an iOS version of the greeting card-maker built-in to iPhoto, but with a twist — instead of printing and shipping cards to the user, who then has to buy stamps, address and mail the cards — Apple takes care of printing, mailing, and postage and sends [...]
Wowsers. What a week or two for Apple eh? In case you missed any of it, here’s a recap. 1. Steve Jobs retired. You only don’t know about this if you live in a hole or third world country. The infamous Steve Jobs has resigned as CEO of Apple, leaving the helm to Tim Cook, [...]
Vudu made a move, which I suspect many companies will follow suit, especially publishers, and Apple must have foreseen this would eventually happen. Mashable writes: Instead of launching an iPad app for its video-streaming service Vudu, Walmart has launched an iPad-optimized website — bypassing the 30% cut in revenue that Apple takes from all in-app [...]
Tons of interesting news concerning tablets and smartphones hit this week. Their impact, especially tablets and e-readers, affect print in many ways – some in very scary ways. 1. Samsung talking smack to Apple in new videos? Although the ads don’t specifically name the Apple Ipad as the faulty tablet, Samsung has launched new commercials [...]
One of the largest gripes with developers, publishers and designers concerning the Apple’s App Store is the 30% cut Apple demands from all app and in-app purchases. Is it fair? Is it inhibiting innovation? Is it evil? First, for all of you who are unfamiliar with the situation. Basically, every app you purchase, Apple gets [...]
I’m very fond of the Kindle app and use it across many devices (iphone, ipod, ipad and droid), so any news on it is important. Apparently, Apple infringes a 30% fee for any purchases made through an in-app web store. Most companies have simply removed sign-up forms and e-commerce from the Apple apps (which seems [...]
The Iphone 5 rumors are stacking up! I’m excited about the September launch. To calm my anxiety, I thought it be nice to lay out the rumors. A better camera – moving from the iphone’s 5 Megapixel to 8Mpx? No home button? The home button could disappear, but its the only button on the front [...]
