by Steven Sande (Apr 18th, 2011)

M.I.C Gadget, the same website that brought the world the Steve Jobs action figure that was quickly given a cease and desist notice, is back for more potential legal fun. This time, they've come up with a very cool 4-port USB 2.0 hub. It doesn't matter how many USB ports you have on your Mac ...

Going down the Apple history path for the second time today, we thought those of you who might have a soft spot in your heart for the old "rainbow" Apple logo would love this piece of bling. It's an iPhone case (works with 3G / 3GS) that is covered with more than 1,000 Swarovski crystal bits ...

Apple versus Woolworths: logo smackdown

by Chris Rawson (Oct 5th, 2009)

UPDATE 2: Be sure to read Engadget's analysis of what appears to be a non-event here. Apple is apparently getting hot and bothered over Australian/New Zealand supermarket chain Woolworths' new logo. Woolworths insists the logo is merely a stylized "W," but Apple's copyright lawyers aren't buying ...

Interview with Apple logo designer Rob Janoff

by Dave Caolo (Aug 3rd, 2009)

There's a great interview at CreativeBits today with Rob Janoff, designer of the Apple logo. That simple Apple with the chunk bitten out is as iconic as the company and products it represents. The logo has undergone several tweaks over the years, from the original rainbow to the aqua version that ...

Cool tool: Change your Mac's boot image with BootXChanger

by Steven Sande (Jul 27th, 2009)

Every once in a while, I get reminded about a cool tool that I've used and then totally forgotten about. In today's example, the reminder came in the form of a post on UNEASYsilence about how to change your Mac's boot image. The boot image, in case you're new to the Mac world, is that gray Apple ...

Flickr Find: Planet Earth sends a get-well card to Steve Jobs

by Steven Sande (Jan 21st, 2009)

It's a miracle! You're an Apple fanboy, you're in Morocco, and you look up in the otherwise blue skies and see the wispy shape of an Apple logo appear for a moment before dissipating. And you're lucky enough to get a picture of it: Could it be that Planet Earth is sending Steve Jobs a get-well ...

Blast from the Past: Original Apple logo

by Mat Lu (Apr 13th, 2007)

This one is for all you who miss the old rainbow Apple logo. What seems to be the original Apple logo (pre-incorporation in 1976) is making the rounds of the internets today. So apparently the Apple belongs to Newton. I have to say; it's a good thing they got rid of this one early. So which version ...

by Laurie A. Duncan (Dec 11th, 2006)

We're not sure if kmcculler even lives in California, but there's no mistaking the birthmark on that baby. Yes, that child has the mark of the beast best. What do you think, folks, have the parents of this child Photoshopped him for fun or is this The Second Coming of Steve Jobs? Thanks, Barb! ...

Ok, who owns this car?

by Dave Caolo (May 9th, 2006)

I thought I was cool with the one Apple sticker I have on my car's rear window, but now I've been shamed. The owner of this vehicle (I'm guessing by the door handles that it's a Saturn?) really, really likes his/her Apple stickers. Just don't drive that thing in Redmond. ...

The man behind the Apple logo

by Scott McNulty (Apr 24th, 2006)

For many years this multi-hued logo served well for Apple, however, it has since been phased out in favor of a solid color logo (though the color of the Apple does vary). The man who created the logo (which wasn't Apple first logo) is Rob Janoff. Sync has a little story up about him, where you find ...
