Paid iPhone Apps FREE for Today!
I don’t mind paying for iOS apps if I really want that app, and I know that I will be using it. You know, like Sim City 4 for the iPad… However, there are some apps that are rather too expensive for me, so I just wait till they are offered on discount or when […]
Funniest BendGate Tweets
So it’s not like us to make fun of Apple, but we don’t mind making fun of things – even those that we like. One simply cannot ignore an iPhone 6 bending. It could be a flaw in the design. It could simply because the phone is so thin. We don’t know, although Apple has […]
Steve Ballmer Bans Apple Products for Clippers
It sure was big news when former Microsoft CEO (and employee number 30) Steve Ballmer bought the LA Clippers. Prior to him, the Dallas Mavericks’s owner, Mark Cuban, was probably the only “techie” owner in the league. (I could be wrong, though.) Source Now, in a probably not-so-surprising move, the new owner of the LA […]
Why iOS 8 Failed to Impress
iOS 8 has been with us for just under 1o days now, giving everyone enough time to install it and get our feet wet. While Apple calls this their biggest update to iOS since the app store, the truth is that the latest iteration of Apple’s mobile OS is lackluster at best. iOS 8 seems […]
Apple: Sorry About iOS 8 Update Glitches
Yesterday, we reported that Apple was getting ready for the iOS 8 update to iOS 8.0.1, and indeed, they released it. While many perhaps were expectant that the iOS 8 update would make the performance of their iPhones better, the result was quite the opposite. Source Instead of being satisfied, many iPhone 6 users who […]
Apple Already Gearing Up to Update iOS 8
It’s been barely a week since Apple’s latest mobile OS was released, and we’re already hearing about an update to iOS 8 being in the works. In fact, MacRumors says that iOS 8.0.1 has been ready for a while – even before the media event officially announcing launch dates for iOS 8 and the iPhone […]
Easy Ways to Boost Your Internet Speed on a Mac
There’s nothing worse than paying hundreds – nay, thousands – of dollars for a Mac device and having to deal with Internet speeds that make you want to tear your hair out. You try opening a page, and before it loads, you can get up, brew a pot of coffee, and go to the loo […]
Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon Star in iPhone 6 Ads
Apple ads have always been brilliant, and to my knowledge, the company’s advertising group hasn’t stooped so low as to get back at their main competitor by creating ads that are meant to bash. From Your Verse to Strength, what I can see is that Apple ads are meant to inspire their customers, to tap into […]
Apple Is Still the UK’s Coolest Brand, In Spite of All the Bashing
Haters are going to hate, no matter what you do. Critics and analysts will always say Apple is not living up to expectations and that the company is not meeting targets. Samsung will keep on spending money to create ads that will make fun of Apple and its users. Source But guess what? Apple is […]
Apple Promises to Keep User Data Secure and Out of the Government’s Reach
Data security has been one of the biggest issues in the past years, especially with all the information about the government spying on people via tech and requisitioning obtaining user data from companies such as Apple, Google, and Facebook. Source With the latest iOS update, Apple promises to keep user data secure and out of […]
The Best and the Worst of iOS 8
In case you’ve been hiding in a Faraday cage without Internet access for the past 24 hours or more, you probably already know that iOS 8 has been released into the wild for all of us to download in all of its glory. Even though it’s somewhat of an overstatement that this update is what […]
1Password Is FREE for iOS!
Remembering so many different passwords is such a pain, and that is why a lot of people just use one password or similar passwords – so they won’t forget. But we all know that that practice is a huge no-no. Knowing and doing – those two are totally different creatures, though. Thank God for apps […]
Will Emerging Markets Get Their Own iPhone?
It’s common to walk down almost any street in a country like the United States and see more than one iPhone. Whether it’s used for simple phone calls or checking Twitter, the iPhone is the definition of pervasive technology in developed countries. While this is true for nations like the United States and many European […]
