While I often ignore the senseless rumors that come from the tomfoolery of tech "analysts", this latest one claiming that Apple plans to discontinue the 17" MacBook Pro comes from Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst with KGI Securities who has gotten some things right about Apple products in the past. Kuo believes that this discontinuation will come as a result of Apple's convergence of the Apple's Air and Pro notebook lineups. In Q1 of 2012, Apple sold roughly 3.1 million notebooks. Out of that figure, nearly half of those were of the 13-inch MacBook Pro. Kuo has a bleak estimation of the 17-inch Pro sales figure, however, stating that only 50,000 were sold in that quarter.
The phrase "the early bird catches the worm" rings true frequently in various areas of the tech spectrum, and since Apple has begun stepping up the security of its activation servers, it is important to remind you all to backup your unlock activation tickets before it is too late.
Didn't manage to snag tickets to WWDC 2012? Fear not, for one group of plucky people is putting on a WWDC clone. Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference is the biggest thing on a developer's calendar. Offering workshops on all things Mac and iOS, the get-together is more than just an excuse to meet up with all your developer friends and have a few drinks, although that is one of the added bonuses.
Wolfram Alpha, the knowledge and computation service that can be found on the web, or on smartphones - you may know it as the service which feeds Siri with data to return to you - will be coming to the desktop, but in a rather unconventional way. When I read the headline that this was going to happen, I initially thought that they were developing an app for either the Windows 8 or OS X app stores.
A new live TV streaming website offers content from around the globe, for free, and right on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. What's better, is all this is for free, and it's available right now. The problem is, the chances are that it won't be around for much longer now since the eyes of the world are very literally on it.
The developers over at LinkedIn Corporation have finally got their iPad appreciation hats on and pushed out an update to the professional network app, bringing full universal support along with a Retina-enabled user interface for Apple's third-generation iPad. The LinkedIn app had previously only been available as a native iPhone or iPod touch app, but version 5.0 should appease those business professionals who have been craving for a little bit more.
It has been a day or so since the smartphone loving world was treated to any gossip surrounding Samsung's latest addition to the Galaxy range of devices, the Galaxy S III. The much anticipated device has so far managed to surround itself with growing mystery, leaving Samsung and Android fans chomping at the bit to get their hands on it.
Scalado Album is a new way to check out your photos and saved images for Android smartphones, and it is causing something of a stir on the Google Play Store.
Every individual who owns a smartphone or a tablet device have their own reasons for doing so, and will more often than not utilize a certain set of features on a more regular basis than others. From a personal point of view, and surely something that is echoed by many more people, I happen to extensively use my iPhone for web browsing more often than not using Apple's Mobile Safari.
Did you know that Bluetooth is the Anglicized version of the name given to Kind Harald I of Denmark who was well-known for uniting various tribes in Denmark into one single Kingdom? Not exactly relevant to the iBluetooth Call tweak, but still it's worth knowing that our technology names are steeped in history.
