Apple applies for gaming trademark

by Cory Bohon (RSS feed) on Feb 10th, 2008


Our sibling site, Engadget, is reporting that Apple has apparently applied for trademark protection on a gaming device. The trademark in question would protect the word "APPLE" under the following circumstances: "toys, games and playthings, namely, hand-held units for playing electronic games; hand-held units for playing video games; stand alone video game machines; electronic games other than those adapted for use with television receivers only; LCD game machines; electronic educational game machines; toys, namely battery-powered computer games."

Engadget also reminds us about Apple's recent patent filing of a touch gaming device. Could this mean that Apple is working on Pippin 2.0? Time can only tell. However, I wouldn't hold my breath, since Apple often randomly trademarks names and such.

More "New Newton" rumors

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Sep 26th, 2007

What's more annoying than Chocolate Rain and the pointless Kid Nation uproar? The incessant "Apple is coming out with a new Newton" rumors.

Here's one from 2003:

"...There's good reason to believe that a jazzy new Newton II will be forthcoming, perhaps in January" (Yup, that's our good friend John Dvorak).

Another from 2004:

"...[A US company] 'approached Apple willing to buy [the] Newton and relaunch it. They are in ... negotiations with Apple...'"

I think we all remember - and would like to forget - the iWalk.

Today, AppleInsider is beating this decrepit, old horse. According to their "well-respected sources," a team has been very busy at Apple building a multi-touch handheld successor to the Newton. Sure. In other news, everyone who paid $7500 for a Twentieth Anniversary Mac will receive $100 Apple Store credit, OJ Simpson is Steve Job's personal hitman and the next AppleTV will play Pippin games.

Macintosh Portable, Pippen make PCWorld Worst tech list

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on May 26th, 2006



PCWorld has compiled a list of the 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time. All the usual players are there; IBM, Microsoft, Real, and Apple. Apple?! Yes, that's right kiddies, Apple wasn't always firing on all cylinders like it is now.

The Macintosh Portable clocks in at number 17, but only because it was 16 pounds, wouldn't run on AC power and cost $6500.  Other than that, it was a great machine. Pictured above is the Apple Pippin, Apple's only attempt to enter to lucrative game console market, which comes in at number 22. It was slow, expensive, and had almost no titles.

Any other Apple products you would add to this list?
