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 ...

News apps for the iPhone span the political spectrum

by Michael Rose (Apr 16th, 2009)

Building a native app that aggregates and spruces up the content of a single news organ's website is all the rage, although it seems like overkill in some cases -- personally, I enjoy curating my own reading list with good old Instapaper, which also offers the advantage of clearing out most of the ...

NY Times op-ed on the hate that dare not text its name: iPhone rejection

by Michael Rose (Apr 5th, 2009)

Considering that it's turned out to be one of the most successful products in consumer electronics history, the volume of nay-saying on the iPhone has been constant and ongoing -- many dismissed the phone when it came out, when it was announced, and even when it was just a glimmer of a hint of a ...

Opera: Apple won't let us in the App Store

by Robert Palmer (Oct 31st, 2008)

Opera Software CEO Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner said in a New York Times interview yesterday that its engineers have developed a version of the Opera web browser that works on the iPhone, but Apple has rejected it for the App Store because it competes with Safari. This isn't unprecedented: Apple ...

10.5.5 update fixes DNS vulnerability

by Robert Palmer (Sep 16th, 2008)

Apple's Mac OS X 10.5.5 update (and Security Update 2008-006) fixes a critical DNS vulnerability that could allow attackers to trick victims into visiting malicious Web sites using what's known as a "cache poisoning attack." We wrote about the vulnerability in August. Although Apple's release notes ...

PA Semi team creating new ARM-based iPhone CPU

by Robert Palmer (Sep 15th, 2008)

Apple Senior Manager Wei-han Lien let slip that teams acquired with the purchase of PA Semi are working on an ARM-based processor for the iPhone, and possibly other devices, according to The New York Times. While not a huge surprise, as Steve himself said that's what the former PA Semi staff was ...

Complete My Album is selling music

by Mike Schramm (Jun 30th, 2008)

I was just as much a naysayer as Dave was when the service first came out (and for the record, I haven't used it all either), but apparently there are lots of people who do use Apple's "Complete My Album" service in iTunes -- the NYT says that it has become a prime selling tool, especially for bands ...

Times Reader Beta now available

by Scott McNulty (May 22nd, 2008)

A few days ago I mentioned that the Time Reader Beta would soon be open for Mac users, but I had no idea how soon it would actually appear. Today the New York Times has released the Mac beta of their Times Reader. For those that don't know, the Times Reader is a stand alone app that tries to marry ...

Apple stock help drive mutual fund returns

by Scott McNulty (Jan 14th, 2008)

I'm not Wall Street wunderkind but it doesn't take Warren Buffet to know that Apple's stock has been performing well. It would seem that, at least according to the New York Times, Apple's performance coupled with Google and RIM has lead to many mutual funds seeing extraordinary growth this year. ...

Forbes guesses wildly at Macworld

by Mike Schramm (Dec 13th, 2007)

Forbes is playing it safe with the Macworld predictions this year. Everything you've ever heard rumored about Apple in the last five years? Yeah, it's all here in their Macworld speculation guide. From the sub-notebook, to the iTablet, all the way to the Beatles, an Apple car, and even the old Apple ...

NYT on unlocking phones

by Michael Rose (Nov 1st, 2007)

Here's a quick link over to today's New York Times article on phone unlocking, which raises a couple of interesting (not to say off-base) points. First, Nokia claims that the current "Open to Anything" ad campaign is not directly aimed at the iPhone... right. Second, writer Cyrus Farivar ...

Jobs: Mac has 'momentum,' nearly-annual OS updates will continue

by Michael Rose (Oct 22nd, 2007)

As of Friday, Apple will have released five major updates to Mac OS X since its introduction in 2001 (unless you want to count the public beta. Nit-pickers). In Monday's interview with The New York Times, Steve Jobs said this pace will continue: "'I'm quite pleased with the pace of new operating ...

NYT on iPods for language learning

by Michael Rose (Oct 11th, 2007)

The school district in Union City, NJ doesn't have the resources of more affluent suburban districts, according to an article in Monday's NYT (free registration req.). What it does have is a large population of students who speak Spanish at home and who need a new approach to bilingual education. ...
