If you happen to be a big fan of the Hollywood legend Bruce Willis, then I apologize in advance for not bringing you the latest news about his career and when his next blockbuster movie will be hitting the big screen. Best known for his role in some of the greatest action movies ever made such as Die Hard, The Last Boy Scout and the cult classic Pulp Fiction, it looks as though Willis is temporarily putting aside fighting on-screen villains and instead choosing to fight his next battle in the courtroom as he looks to extract some iTunes related privileges out of Apple.
Ever since the critical success of the Nexus 7, and the reasonably good commercial success of the Kindle Fire (both $199 Android powered tablets), Apple has been strongly rumored to be preparing their contestant for the small, economical tablet. Just about every Redmond Pie reader has now heard of the iPad Mini. It’s rumored to be a 7.85” tall tablet that has the specs of an iPad 2, and that it will be announced and launched in October for the price of $249.
It seems that tweeting is the new form of texting these days, and if you aren't a part of the Twitter using clan, then I would highly recommend you register yourself and see what all the fuss is about. The popularity of Twitter is increasingly obvious due to the massive array of third-party apps and clients popping up everyday for different desktop and mobile platforms. One of the latest to find it's way into the mobile world is the Voice Tweet app that does pretty much as the name suggests.
Have you ever felt that today’s games are far too complex? That they require far too many buttons and have overly realistic graphics? Do you remember the good ol’ days of the 1970s and early 80s when controllers had, at max, 4-6 buttons and “graphics” meant environments and moving characters whose pixels you could count with your hands? If the answer to all that is yes, then you’ll be glad to know that Atari’s Greatest Hits for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad is available for free (again) for a limited period of time. Check it out after the jump.
Now that we have officially entered the final quarter of 2012, we are undoubtedly going to start seeing an influx of new and upgraded product lines hitting shelves across the world just in time for the beginning of the holiday shopping season. It's no secret that this is one the busiest time of the year for consumers, and a good holiday season can turn a good financial year into a great one for companies who manage to launch the right product at the right time.
Movie remakes are, in the eyes of the die-hard film buffs, often a recipe for disaster. Most of the classics have come back for a second innings, and the likes of The Karate Kid, The A Team, and Nightmare On Elm Street all have one thing in common - they were nowhere near as good as the originals.
The time is fast approaching for Tim Cook and his cohorts to adorn that Moscone Center stage and introduce the world to the sixth-generation iPhone, which in turn will more than likely bring with it an immediate release of iOS 6, the company's next major revision of their mobile operating system. Registered members of the iOS dev program are now regularly using the fourth beta of iOS 6 in an attempt to familiarize themselves with the new features and improvements which Apple has pushed out, as well as trying to find and report any bugs that may exist.

The accessories market for Apple's iOS devices is amongst, if not the biggest accessories market for mobile devices. Speakers, charging docks or cases etc. for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad is a multi-million dollar market!

What is it about robots that makes them so darn cool? I believe it is the idea of imparting human-like intelligence (artificial intelligence) to a bunch of electrical and mechanical parts and then controlling it (or letting it do what it is programmed to do) that makes us feel powerful.
