Even though iOS and OS X are both very easy on the eye, that doesn't mean some users wouldn't like to make changes here and there.
In line with the recently updated iPad and iOS 5.1, Apple has also released an update to the iTunes content player/store, which brings a couple of minor new features as well as the usual array of bug fixes.
With Apple announcing the summer release of the new OS X Mountain Lion operating system, Mac users will be forgiven for being a little bit excited about the unexpected OS which makes a huge step towards the fusing of OS X and iOS. The newest Mac operating system builds on the current Lion offering, but adds additional features which Apple describe as "being inspired by the iPad, re-invented for the Mac".
On Wednesday, Microsoft officially released the Windows 8 Consumer Preview (which is essentially a fancy term for 'public beta'). If you're eager to dabble around with the build in a virtual machine - perhaps due to the lack of a non-production machine, a spare partition, the fear of using it in a production environment, or, well, if you just want to install it in a virtual machine - then you're in luck.
Although many computer and software makers out there are largely similar in key areas, there are a few elements which make Apple and its Mac/OS X/iOS combination just that little bit classier.
Amid all the talk of the iPad 3, Digitimes has remembered that Apple does indeed release other products besides the now hotly-anticipated third tablet installment - set to be launched on March 7th.
When Apple announced Mac OS X - sorry, we don't use the 'Mac' designation now, do we? - 10.8 Mountain Lion last week, we were all taken aback slightly. Well, all of us except the lucky few who found themselves summoned for a private briefing with Apple SVP Phil Schiller that is.
There are approximately half a million babies born across the world on a daily basis, bringing joy to their family and those around them. But out of those half a million which are born everyday, maybe only one or two of them will go on to not only change their parents’ or guardians’ lives forever, but will actually change the world. Steven Paul Jobs, born February 24th 1955 in San Francisco, California was one of those newborns who was destined to bring about change in the world and boy did he fulfill his destiny.
It would seem that Apple are on a solo mission to single-handedly conquer and dominate every market that they choose to enter. I am pretty sure they could take any mediocre product, apply their own engineering magic, then slap an Apple logo on it and turn it into massively saleable item all around the world. Their unique attention to detail, design and marketing seems to ensure that every product they release achieves huge success time and time again.
Whenever people discuss the the historical aspects of Apple, they often make reference to the fact that the company was founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, which is indeed true. However, it is often an overlooked fact that the two Steves took the decision to form the company they called Apple Computer Co. with a third man, Ron Wayne.
