What to Expect From the Second Generation Apple Watch
One of the more common arguments I’ve heard against buying the Apple Watch in its current form is that you should wait for the second version. After all, everyone knows that the first model of any Apple product comes with limitations and missing features which will most certainly be addressed with a new model down the […]
iOS 7: Screenshots Before and After
iOS 7 is now available to download (for free), and it radically transforms your iDevice. I took some screenshots from right before upgrading and right after, and as you’ll see, Apple cares about every last detail.

This means that Apple’s hardware design genius is now dipping his hands into software design. Ive is said to have a large influence in the development of a future version of iOS, and if the […]

Nabisco was one of their clients. This was […]

Get a Desk for your iMac
The design of Apple products has influenced the look of other companies across the world for the better. Remember the other day I told you about a cool desk that a friend pointed out to me?

Get Tricky with the @Rest iPad Stand
The other day, a friend of mine linked me to site that’s run by a local company (well, local for me, anyways), that makes really cool desks made in the Apple aesthetic. In fact they’re so cool, I may just post about them later this week. While I was perusing the site, I found out […]
Double Decker USB Plugs Haunt my Dreams
I have a MacBook Pro, and although I love it, one big problem is the lack of USB ports. I almost always need a hub of one kind or another, so that I have enough room to plug in my mouse, external hard drive and everything else that seems to have a USB cord on […]
