Best Apple Apps!

I've found less and less reason to bother with jailbreaking my iphone as Apple has slowly but consistently brought must-have features enabled via jailbreak to official iOS releases. My only complaint now is that tapping on an address defaults to open Apple Maps when I'd like to be able to...

The Official iPhone 5 Thread

I know right after launch there were some reports about wifi issues with the iPhone 5. Has anyone had issues with their home wifi networks? I'm not sure if I'm being paranoid but sometimes Safari would freeze for 5-10 seconds when I open a page before the page would load. It's hard to be...

Do I have to have 85w magsafe ?

The charger definitely runs hotter although it still charged, albeit much slower.

Macbook Upgrades

So my late 2008 unibody 13 Macbook has served me well over the past few years but since my daily workload consists of multiple large pdf and ppt files, it has started to lag quite a bit when dealing with these memory hogging large files. I finally decided to take the plunge and settled on...

Am I the only one slightly freaked out by iCloud?

First off, with an iMac, unibody Macbook, iPad 2 and iPhone 4, iCloud seems to be the answer to a lot of my prayers. That being said, the recent PSN hacks and whatnot has me worried that with all my data stored on Apple's server, a breach in security could be catastrophic. Am I the only...

Resume References Etiquette

What's the etiquette for including your current boss as your reference for your updated resume? I actually like my job but if the right opening comes up, I want to have an updated resume to send. My problem is two-fold, it's not like i'm desperate to get out of here and don't give a damn...

March 2 Apple Event Thread

The fact that Apple didn't post the RAM specs for the iPad 2 is disconcerting. You know they'd be hammering it home if it was more than the competition, which leads me to believe it is either the same 1gb, or maybe even only 512 mb. I can't imagine it being 256 or else they'd be skewered on...

$600 Apple Gift Card . . . what to get?

It is one of those dilemmas that a lot of people would love to have. I have this feeling that the iPad 2 is going to be a bit underwhelming when announced tomorrow. The whole retina display rumor that is now seemingly debunked and lack of any killer new features really puts a damper on my...

To buy a Magic Trackpad or not.

I agree with the general consensus here that if you're used to it on your MBP, you'll love it just as much on your iMac, it just sucks for gaming. The placement to the right, or left of your keyboard is odd at first since we're all used to the trackpad beneath the keyboard but that is it...

$600 Apple Gift Card . . . what to get?

So for my birthday, my friends and family all pitched in to get me a $600 Apple gift card. I already had the original iPad but gave it to my mom because she loved playing Bejeweled on it. I really liked it but I didn't really miss it. It was convenient to web browse and check my email in bed...

Apple crosses the line again - UPDATE - Feds getting involved!

While I see where the OP is coming from, its hard to fault Apple for leveraging its massive ecosystem to command a premium to have a publisher's content available to its users. No one is forcing the publishers to to agree to it. From my perspective, I'd rather have a million Apple users...

Apple Customer Service Win

Customer service is always a YMMV situation. My personal experience is more or less a mixed bag. My iPhone home button started to not respond anymore. Granted, I had spilled some coffee on it, not enough to trigger the sensors or anything but enough, imo, to cause some damage. I made an...

Untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 on the way

I actually don't think the tethered JB is that big of a deal. . . been running it for like two weeks now. Cydia apps generally only require a springboard restart. unless you run out of power or phone crashes, a full restart isn't even necessary. Now if your phone freezes and you're not by...
