by Michael Rose (Sep 25th, 2011)

Programs that offer corporate some latitude and personal discretion in their technology choices are growing, said the NYT on Friday, and while the relaxing of IT standards mandates means there are plenty of market losers (HP, Dell, Lenovo, RIM and other enterprise-centric vendors), there's one big ...

by Chris Rawson (Sep 16th, 2011)

According to Nick Bilton at the New York Times, an unnamed Apple employee has confirmed to him that the next-gen iPhone announcement is "just weeks away."

New York Times updates iPad app to stop constant crashing

by Mel Martin (Dec 28th, 2010)

It's about time. Ever since the NYTimes for iPad app replaced the lame Editors' Choice app, it has been tough sledding trying to read the news. It often took a long time to load, and then before displaying a single story, it crashed. I reinstalled the app, and that made things better for a while ...

In Brief: Jobs' journey through the wilderness made Apple Inc. possible

by Michael Rose (Oct 3rd, 2010)

There's an interesting Randall Stross piece in Saturday's New York Times about the alternative timeline where Steve Jobs never resigned from Apple. Given his legendary fussiness over every detail and his frustrating inability to get the NeXT hardware platform past the "expensive curiosity" stage, ...

EpicWin aims to turn your real-life tasks into a social game

by Mike Schramm (Jul 10th, 2010)

Given the amount of iPhone and iPad apps coming out these days, I'm not all that interested in getting excited about an app before it comes out. There's already plenty of games and apps available now, so worrying about not-yet-released apps isn't all that important. That said, this app called ...

The iPhone 4 and the growing art of self-photography

by Mike Schramm (Jul 3rd, 2010)

This little piece over on the New York Times Fashion and Style page is only tangentially related to our subject at hand, which is that the onset of the iPhone 4 and its front-facing camera has put a spotlight on the growing art of self-photography and the casually narcissistic tendencies that drive ...

New York Times for iPad update adds content

by Dave Caolo (Jun 9th, 2010)

The iPad app that Steve Jobs supposedly dislikes, New York Times Editor's Choice, was updated today. The update partially addresses Steve's primary concern: the app omits a lot of the paper's daily content. Specifically, the new build adds an Arts section and some videos. The Arts section has two ...

David Pogue weighs in on iPad, David Pogue weighs in on iPad

by Michael Rose (Mar 31st, 2010)

Pogue's tech-centric review (appropriate for those, he says, who meet the following standards: "Do you use BitTorrent? Do you run Linux? Do you have more e-mail addresses than pants?") reiterates the standard complaints -- no Flash, not enough storage, no ports, too pricey. Then the 'for the rest of ...

Rumored tablet could include dynamic tactile surface

by Mike Schramm (Dec 24th, 2009)

As a guy who still kind of winces at the iPhone's touch surface sometimes (especially when playing games -- you don't realize how nice buttons are until you see a character die because your thumb's in the way), this is extremely interesting news: Apple's rumored tablet, which we've been hearing a ...

Tablet rumors du jour: FT says 1/26 announcement, NYT says Jobs "extremely happy," MacRumors finds iSlate.com registration

by Michael Rose (Dec 24th, 2009)

Needless to say, if Apple does indeed deliver a standalone launch event for the tablet during the last week of January, it's a gigantic poke in the eye for IDG and Macworld Expo -- the show gave up its traditional slot for January and moved to February after Apple's announcement that the company ...

WSJ: Apple likely to push TV subscription option in 2010

by Michael Rose (Dec 22nd, 2009)

This idea was noted by All Things D in November, which cited a target price ...

Did an NYT editor let the 'Slate' slip?

by Michael Rose (Oct 26th, 2009)

There's a loud buzzing this morning, and it's not just the hangover from late-night celebrations of the Yankees' pennant win; quite a few tech and Mac sites (we heard it first from Edible Apple, although it's really everywhere now) are reporting on week-old remarks from the New York Times executive ...

NY Times asks, Steve answers: Why no camera on the iPod touch and no stills on the nano?

by Michael Rose (Sep 9th, 2009)

Well, looks like we weren't the only ones wondering about the two big questions of the day -- the New York Times sat down briefly with Steve Jobs post-event this morning and found out the whys and wherefores on the following: Why doesn't the iPod nano take still pictures? Jobs says that the tiny ...

Apple: Paranoid

by Robert Palmer (Jun 23rd, 2009)

Do you remember the teaser ads for the iPhone 3G? Two uniformed guards carried a locked metal crate through a labyrinth of secure tunnels, keycard points at every door, and monitored by security cameras? Turns out the real Apple isn't too far from that, according to Brad Stone and Ashlee Vance at ...
