29Jul Parody: Apple Gets Pulled from Google Search Results

Apple is taking it on the chin when it comes to parody today. First was this wonderfully funny satire from The Onion of the entire Apple fan boy culture featuring an invisible iPhone called the 3GI. I understand that 3GI was actually ranking high in search results after this came out.
And speaking of search results, [...]

Steve “Chippy” Paine gathered a bunch of geeks together (virtually speaking of course) to talk about the latest round of Apple Tablet rumors and what they may or may not mean.

27Jul Apple Doesn’t Like Google Voice Apps and Removes Them From App Store

UPDATE: Word later tonight is that Apple is not going to approve the official Google Voice App. Me thinks AT&T should quit spending money on lawyers and start spending some on fixing their network. Then they wouldn’t have to worry about seeing their business model erode right before their eyes.
I wonder what it feels like [...]

24Jul More Corporate Shenanigans: Microsoft Changes Laptop Hunter Ads After Apple Complains

It must be a Friday, because most of the news this morning is all about corporate and PR shenanigans between companies.

24Jul Palm Issues Update and Smacks Back at Apple

Palm Pre users lost their ‘native’ iTunes syncing ability when Apple, as expected, issued an update to iTunes last week. Now Palm is issuing a counterpunch with a new update that apparently restores the capability. This will probably go several rounds before one or both companies gives up the ghost and things get settled out.
For [...]

Kevin Tofel of jkOnTheRun and I have been checking each other out from afar (hey, that’s in your mind, not mine) using Google Latitude on our respective iPhones that was just released today. Kevin is outside Philadelphia and I’m in northwestern Virginia.
You read the headline right, Google Latitude is a web app. Apparently, Apple [...]

23Jul Financial results: Cheap netbooks hurting Microsoft, but not Apple

Two interesting bits of financial/market share news today:

Microsoft reported its first annual revenue decline ever.
Apple has 91% market share for personal computers in the US costing more than $1000.

What do these two things have in common? In my world, netbooks. Look at it this way. There are a number of reasons Microsoft saw a [...]

22Jul Apple, Verizon could launch tablet in time for the holidays

In case you  missed it, Apple isn’t developing a netbook. The company has reiterated this point at every possible opportunity over the last year or so. But that doesn’t mean the company has nothing to offer in the small, light, and ultraportable computing category. Rumors of an Apple tablet that will be larger than an [...]
