First you could stream the yesterday's keynote, then you could download it via iTunes, and now you can stream it in HD. Nothing beats seeing an Apple presentation in HD, you can almost smell the Old Spice on Phil Schiller. Thanks, Jeff. ...

Steve Jobs has a 'common bug'

by Scott McNulty (Jun 10th, 2008)

Normally I wouldn't even post about this, but several people have commented on the way Steve Jobs looked during his keynote yesterday. Most folks seemed to think that he looked a little thinner than usual, which of course makes one think back to his battle with cancer. An Apple PR person assured the ...

Apple posts Snow Leopard Server information

by Scott McNulty (Jun 9th, 2008)

Many people forget that Apple makes 2 variants of OS X for Macs: client (that's the one you run on your personal Mac) and Server (which is normally found on a server, oddly enough). We've already posted (twice) about the client version of Snow Leopard, but what about Apple's next iteration of their ...

MobileMe requires OS X 10.5.4?

by Scott McNulty (Jun 9th, 2008)

TUAW reader Lee Car noticed something odd whilst reading the Terms and Conditions of MobileMe (I'm impressed that anyone actually reads that stuff). The official System Requirements of MobileMe say that you need 'Mac OS X v10.4.11 or latest version of Mac OS X Leopard,' which isn't all that newsy ...

Join us to chat about what we hope to see, the ...

Apple Stores across the world down

by Scott McNulty (Jun 9th, 2008)

It started with the Australian store, but now it looks like the rest of Apple's online stores are down. What will greet us when they come back up? A 3G iPhone? New MacBook Pros? The Mac Fusion? A free pony with every purchase? Only Steve knows for sure. ...

by Cory Bohon (Jun 8th, 2008)

On WWDC Eve, we at TUAW are hard at work keeping an eye out for the unknown and unexpected. We just received a tip showing what appears to be the Mac Nano computer that we've all wanted -- and it looks to be aimed towards the developer crowd. The pictures appear to show a Mac geared towards ...

Talkcast tonight at 10 pm ET, last chance for WWDC best guesses

by Michael Rose (Jun 8th, 2008)

Last week's talkcast included some great WWDC preview discussion with developers Kai Cherry and Todd Ditchendorf along with an expanded panel. Apologies for the scratchy audio (we had to use the Talkshoe low-bandwidth recording instead of the local Skype copy). Download the show from Talkshoe, play ...
