Apple IIs, As Explained By 7-Year-Old

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this retro show in which children school adults on operating computers…at least for the first 2 minutes or so when it’s still funny.

Analyst: The iPhone Really Is the Jesusphone

Tomi T Ahonen, self-proclaimed “world’s leading 3G strategy consultant,” unabashedly declares: Much like the Western calendar marks time from before and after Jesus Christ, and how the computer world changed totally by the Macintosh—remembering that Windows is Microsoft’s copy of the Mac operating system—I am certain that the mobile telecoms world will count its time…

Settling this iPhone vs. LG Prada Nonsense

Click to viewWe’re a month or so from iPhone, and phone nuts talk about the LG Prada as being one of its main competitors. Another one of those “iPhone-Killers” every phone company is pushing. But I just got an LG Prada, and based on my hands on time with that and my session with the…

That’s weird. https://gizmodo.com/new-apple-macbook-verdict-no-santa-rosa-260523 If you want a…

Apple Patent Gives Lightweight Notebooks a Bulletproof Skeleton

The folks at Apple wanna redesign the ultraportable as we know it. Well, its insides at least. They wanna give it an enclosure that’ll keep them from flexing, but not add any weight.

iPhone Totally FCC’d, My Fantasy of 3G Finally Crushed Into Nothingness

The iPhone has been FCC approved.
