Safari 4.0 Beta – A First Look
This morning Apple released a Safari 4 Beta. They have dubbed the release “The World’s Fastest and Most Innovative Browser”.

Will We Ever See a New Mac Mini?
This weekend there have been images and video of a new Mac Mini online (neither of which I can post from my iPhone…which I am blogging from at the moment). From what little I’ve seen from it, this looks fake to me. The design is too close to the original Mini’s to be real. Apple […]

iPhone Addiction – Putting Down the Device
I noticed a recent trend that I found slightly troublesome. The other night I looked up at dinner (we were eating out) and I was buried in my iPhone while we waited for our order. My daughter was buried in a coloring page, and my wife was buried in her iPhone as well. As soon […]
….And We’re Back
So – that wasn’t fun. The other day Apple Gazette got slammed with a bunch of traffic – the site was killed…you might have noticed. Long story short – we’re back, things are great, and the site is now on a much more robust server. Thanks for all the emails and tweets. Back to work.
