by Mike Schramm (May 16th, 2011)

As you may have heard, Apple's retail arm is celebrating 10 years of existence this May, and the guys at ifoAppleStore.com are doing something special to celebrate.

Rumor: Apple planning something in stores for retail anniversary

by Mike Schramm (May 16th, 2011)

Just this morning we were hearing rumors that Apple was planning some sort of event for this weekend's retail anniversary, and now BGR has heard that there's a flurry of activity behind the counter at Apple Stores. There are some overnight shifts planned for this weekend, black curtains to go ...

Happy 10th birthday, Mac OS X!

by Megan Lavey-Heaton (Mar 24th, 2011)

It's hard to believe that 10 years ago today, Mac OS X made its official debut after several months of a paid public beta. Mac OS X v.10.0 "Cheetah" was released on March 24, 2001 for US$129. It was slow, clunky and made many users want to throw their Macs out the window, into the closest body of ...

Apple iPad announced one year ago today

by Kelly Hodgkins (Jan 27th, 2011)

We couldn't let the day pass without mentioning the iPad and the first anniversary of its announcement. On this day one year ago, the world sat on the edge of their seat waiting for Steve Jobs to confirm the tablet we all knew was coming. Ironically, Engadget scored a picture of the device hours ...

Celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Mac Plus with a crazy helmet

by Steven Sande (Jan 14th, 2011)

1986 It was the year that The Hacker Manifesto was written, Halley's Comet was in the skies, the Chernobyl reactor disaster occurred and the Voyager aircraft did the first round-the-world flight without refueling. The year started on an auspicious note on January 14 with the introduction of the ...

Happy 10th birthday to Mac OS X Hints

by Mike Schramm (Nov 5th, 2010)

Because we veteran Mac sites have to stick together, we're sending congratulations out to the good folks over at Mac OS X Hints, who yesterday turned the ripe old age (in blogging years, anyway) of ten years old. The site, created by Rob Griffiths and now run by Macworld, continues to be a terrific ...

Mac OS X beta was released ten years ago yesterday

by Mike Schramm (Sep 14th, 2010)

Happy (belated) birthday today to Mac OS X. Yes, the OS itself actually released to the public on March 24, 2001 (which means its actual "birthday," in my mind, isn't until next March), but Macworld points out that, on September 13, 2000, Steve gave us the very first peek at the foundation of modern ...

Appsgiving Day is this Saturday, July 10th

by Mike Schramm (Jul 8th, 2010)

I like this idea -- the folks behind a new under-development app called iWishApp (that's designed to create a wishlist of iPhone apps) have decided to declare this Saturday, July 10th, as "Appsgiving Day." Basically, you go into iTunes on Saturday, the anniversary of the App Store's debut, and ...

Byline, others offering anniversary sale prices on Saturday

by Robert Palmer (Jul 10th, 2009)

Saturday! Saturday! Saturday! One day only! You may buy the whole app -- but you'll only need the edge. Sorry about that. Nevertheless, Byline -- Phantom Fish's flagship Google Reader app and offline browser -- is on sale Saturday only for $1.99. (It goes back to its regular price, $4.99, on July ...

Happy 1st Anniversary, App Store!

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Jul 7th, 2009)

What a difference a year makes. Apple has a promo on the store (yes, iTunes link ahoy) with their gushing congratulations to themselves and the App Store for the 1-year anniversary of Cupertino's bold experiment. Since the launch one year ago, we've seen over 50,000 apps hit the store (and only a ...

Two years with the iPhone

by Tim Wasson (Jun 29th, 2009)

On June 29, 2007, Apple and AT&T released the iPhone for $600 to crowded stores throughout the United States. A whole lot has changed in the iPhone-world in just 2 short years. The 1.0 software is just a distant memory, and looking back I'm a little surprised how limited the original iPhone was ...
