by Dave Caolo (Feb 13th, 2007)

"It's not often that a retail construction project makes news..." That's a quote from The Boston Globe regarding the Apple Store that's planned for Boston's Boylston Street. The store certainly has made news, as we've been writing about it for almost a year now. Apple had a hard time getting the ...

by Dave Caolo (Aug 8th, 2006)

We know what you're thinking: "Please, TUAW, not another story on the Apple Store that does not yet exist." Just bear with us. We know that the future Apple Store will be taking over what has been a CopyCop on Boylston street for many years. Bostonian and TUAW reader Jason heard the first hint of an ...

One step closer to Apple Store Boston?

by Dave Caolo (May 18th, 2006)

Today, TUAW reader (and Boston resident) Matt sends in this tip that seems to point to the ongoing saga of the future Boston Apple Store. While riding his bike past the Copy Cop on Boylston Street (Apple originally proposed taking over the Copy Cop building for the new store), he noticed a sign ...

More on the Boston Apple Store

by Dave Caolo (May 8th, 2006)

This story has almost as much drama as Apple's recent legal battle. Apple is planning on putting a new flagship store in Boston, Ma. The design initially proposed to Boston's Back Bay Architectural Committee (BBAC) was shot down (the BBAC didn't like its contemporary look). Next, a rumor surfaced ...

Boston's flagship Apple Store moving to Newbury Street?

by Dave Caolo (May 1st, 2006)

NYC has its cube, and Boston has...rumors and red tape.* When Apple first announced their intentions to build a huge retail store right in downtown Boston (Back Bay area), I was very excited. A flagship store right in the city! Soon a sketch of the proposed Boylston Street design emerged, as did the ...

Apple continues to irk nation's architectual boards

by Dave Caolo (Apr 3rd, 2006)

It's not easy to be cutting-edge. You may remember last month when Apple was having difficulty getting Boston's Back Bay Architectural Commission to approve the design of what should be a new flagship retail store in Beantown. Similarly, NYC shot down a design for an all-glass storefront facade that ...

Apple Store coming to Boston

by Dave Caolo (Feb 7th, 2006)

Not Peabody, not Brainitree, not Cambridge...I mean Boston, as in directly across the street from the Prudential Center on Boylston street.

Macworld Expo Boston 06, we hardly knew ye

by David Chartier (Sep 17th, 2005)

Even though we've had meetups at and reports from Macworld Expo Boston, and even though Dave Caolo all but promised us Macworld was staying in Boston, it appears more powerful forces were at work, as Macworld is reporting that Macworld Expo Boston has been cancelled - for good. The reason is no ...

iKeychain

by Scott McNulty (Jul 14th, 2005)

iKeychain is another iPod shuffle cover that makes sure that your little slice of randomness is safe and secure. They have a booth at Macworld running a video of the iKeychain in action, and I must say it is pretty impressive. The video shows an iPod shuffle getting run over by a car, and ...

Apple hardware at Macworld Boston

by Dave Caolo (Jun 21st, 2005)

This year I have been lucky enough to convince the suits at my day job to send me to Macworld Boston. I went last year, too, and attended a couple of very informative workshops on Filemaker Pro. This year I'll be learning about Xserve administration, since we got a shiny, new one not long ago. Sure, ...
