by Mike Schramm (Nov 22nd, 2010)

Flickr Find: Grampa Mac Portable, meet the baby MacBook Air

by Michael Rose (Nov 1st, 2010)

It's hard to look at Patrick McCarron's snapshot of -- how many generations? Hard to count -- many generations of mobile computing development and 22 years of Macintoshes on the move without being a little bit awed. The Mac Portable, 1989's answer ...

Rolling shutter effect can make stunning iPhone photos

by Richard Gaywood (Aug 26th, 2010)

The image above was shot by Jason Mullins with his iPhone 4 on a flight from London to Guernsey. The weird black lines you can see are actually distorted, disconnected copies of the propeller blades, but this isn't a Photoshop hack; this was how the ...

Flickr Find: Fan-made imaginary covers for Steve Jobs' biography

by Michael Grothaus (Feb 20th, 2010)

Personally, my favorite is Connecting The Dots. It uses a photograph by Diana Walker called STEVE JOBS AT HOME IN 1982. Steve Jobs said of the photo: "This was a very typical time. I was single. All you needed was a cup of tea, a light, and your ...

Flickr Find: Apple Store Carosello opening in Milan, Italy

by Steven Sande (Sep 5th, 2009)

Ahhhh, Milano! The name makes me think about the Milan Cathedral, La Scala, fashion models, and the aggressive drivers in that city. And now, when I think of Milan, I can also fondly think of the new Apple Store Carosello. TUAW reader Filippo sent ...

TwitPic Find: Snow Leopard on a hackint0sh

by Steven Sande (Aug 16th, 2009)

What's better than pictures of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard in the wild? How about a snapshot of Snow Leopard running on a hackint0sh? While this could be a doctored photo, it does show a Eee PC 901 netbook with several windows open on the screen. In ...

iPhones pass the fireworks test: best of the reader-submitted 4th photos

by Mel Martin (Jul 5th, 2009)

Shooting photographs of fireworks can be a real challenge. The good shots happen quickly, cameras don't always get the focus right, and there is a lot of movement that can make for blurry pictures. The iPhone is not the best camera in the world for ...

Flickr Find: A familiar logo

by Mike Schramm (Mar 10th, 2009)

You can call Steve Jobs a visionary if you want, but the Vanzettis are the real visionaries -- who would have ever thought of using a computer company's logo to sell fruit?! Though it's a little bit squished and the colors are different than we've ...

The sun-stamped Apple doesn't fall far from the iTree

by Michael Rose (Nov 22nd, 2008)

Some forms of Apple fandom are quick and simple -- the button, the tote bag, the temporary tattoo (not to be confused with the more permanent variety). Some forms, however, require commitment and patience. I don't speak the predominant language over ...

Flickr Find: Close, but not quite

by Robert Palmer (Nov 20th, 2008)

For your evening amusement (and nothing more), Flickr user elbewerk has found a creative way to try and convince people that, no, he's not actually using a PC. Persuasive? Perhaps not. But at least it's marginally more honest about being a PC ...
