Published on Saturday, May 15, 2010 by admin It’s been a while since anyone treated Mac OS X as a first-tier gaming platform, so when Valve announced that they would be bringing their Steam service and the Source engine to the Mac, it was big news. After a roughly 2 month beta period for the Mac versions of Steam and the Source engine, yesterday Valve finally released the first wave of their Mac gaming efforts...

But is there a story to the iPad that the public doesn't know? We take you 38 years into the past, when the iPad was invented. Did Steve Jobs Steal the iPad? The industry tends to get too consumed by excitement for Apple’s latest pr...

Travel-centric apps are cropping up, and the iPad's e-reader capabilities mean travelers don't have to lug books around. Naysayers cite Wi-Fi hiccups and say the iPad is underwhelming.

Published on Tuesday, May 4, 2010 by admin Apple announced that it had sold more than one million iPads on May 3, just 28 days after the connected tablet device was introduced in the US. "One million iPads in 28 days-that's less than half of the 74 days it took to achieve this milestone with iPhone," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Demand continues to exceed supply and we're working hard to get this magica...

Published on Monday, May 3, 2010 by admin Macs will become an alternative and viable game platform... and there is nothing you can do about it. Boy, was there an outrage over Valve’s decision to port its popular games and offer its Steam distribution for the Mac. Since Steam is estimated to account for 70% of online game purchases, this is one major announcement. But if you think about it, such news wa...

Published on Monday, May 3, 2010 by admin Apple has acquired Intrinsity, a chipmaker that created the key speed technology in the iPad's A4 processor. With Intrinsity's technology, the Apple iPad runs about a third faster than most mobile processors. Buying Intrinsity shaves Apple's cost and lets it shape the A4 chip in the iPad. An analyst said Intrinsity's tech is useful "for a while." With the battl...

Published on Sunday, May 2, 2010 by admin Marketers who want iAds on Apple's iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad may pay about $1 million, compared with up to $200,000 for typical mobile ads.

For $1 million, Apple plans high-quality interesting ads that may qualify as entertainment. Apple is looking to cha...

Published on Sunday, May 2, 2010 by admin If you were patient enough to hold out on the wave of iPad releases, and if you specifically wanted to grab a 3G-capable model, then today is probably already clearly marked on your calendar. That’s because it’s April 30th, the official release date of the iPad Wi-Fi + 3G in the U.S. Customers who originally pre-ordered before Apple’s recent cut-off date ...

Published on Saturday, May 1, 2010 by admin We review the Apple iPad. Can it change the way we think about tablet computers? Confidence is built upon credibility, something Apple really earned thanks to the first iPod. Apple gained the mainstream credibility to introduce a product, say it's going to be the best thing ever, and have customers give it the benefit of the doubt. Credibility is a finite goo...

Published on Saturday, May 1, 2010 by admin Rarely does Apple ever sell you an accessory that competes with a basic function of the device it's intended for. Apple believed in its virtual keyboard on the iPhone and thus you never got a physical alternative. So what makes the iPad so different that Apple would offer a $69 dock with a built in keyboard? The iPad keyboard isn't really portable. It is from a siz...

Published on Thursday, April 29, 2010 by admin A student gamer says he ran into a "lifetime limit" of two iPads when he attempted to buy more of Apple's tablet devices. The report seems bizarre since Apple has not reported iPad inventory problems. So the iPad "lifetime limit" may have been an isolated incident at Apple's Los Angeles store. Apple says more than 500,000 iPads have been sold. Apple is surely ove...
