Apple's announcement timing is uncanny

by Mike Schramm (Feb 24th, 2011)

Tony Bradley at Macworld points out something interesting that I've also been thinking about: Apple is being awfully sneaky with its timing when it comes to product announcements. The upcoming March 2 event happens to land not only right around the time that Motorola's much-anticipated Xoom ...

Zaprudering the Invite: Anything to see?

by Erica Sadun (Feb 23rd, 2011)

Whatever you might think of Apple's grammar, there's not much this invitation's artwork is giving away. Of course, we all want to know: is there a camera up there? If so, we're not seeing evidence of it in the top-middle of the graphic. Perhaps there is a left-mounted camera hidden by March ...

A study of 17 Apple press invitations

by Dave Caolo (Aug 26th, 2010)

Update on the TUAW MacHeist invites

by David Chartier (Nov 12th, 2006)

By now, the overwhelming numbers of you who signed up for a MacHeist invite have noticed you haven't received them yet. To be entirely honest, we weren't expecting over 800 replies, as our original bounty from the good folk behind MacHeist (and MyDreamApp) was 25 invites, which was promptly raised ...

MacHeist has begun, TUAW has 250 invites to give away

by David Chartier (Nov 9th, 2006)

MacHeist, the next software marketing brainchild of Phill Ryu (you might know him from such events as My Dream App), has begun. As you'll remember, it's an invite-only event (though you can try signing up to snag your own), and I have just received the first mission. Due to its top secret nature, my ...
