Drums! gets redesigned for version 3.0

by Mike Schramm (May 7th, 2013)

There are quite a few "drum simulator" apps on the iPad and the iPhone -- it's one of the first ideas a lot of developers had when the touchscreen devices became available, and lots of devs carried that idea out to release. But Drums! is one of the most popular of these apps -- it's gotten ...

Gmail's mobile web interface now looks just like the app

by Mike Schramm (Mar 11th, 2013)

I use Gmail pretty much exclusively for my incoming email, with three or four different accounts that redirect to my always online, easily accessible, and seemingly bottomless inbox. I thought the app the company recently released with a brand-new look was pretty impressive, and apparently so ...

Grad student translates iTunes Terms of Service into something more readable

by Mike Schramm (Sep 7th, 2011)

Apple makes some beautiful products, doesn't it? From the second you unbox that new iDevice, to the moment when you plug it in to your perfectly engineered MacBook and open up iTunes with the great OS X operating system -- and then you see the iTunes Legal Agreement pop up, ugly as sin and a ...

by Chris Rawson (Mar 7th, 2011)

Now that the MacBook Pro refresh has happened and the iPad 2 is out, what's left for the rumor mill? The iPhone 5 of course. Citing a Chinese source, Japanese site Macotakara claims that Apple is abandoning the current iPhone 4's exposed antenna/glass backside construction for the iPhone 5. The ...

Apple.com showing changes

by Megan Lavey-Heaton (Jan 26th, 2011)

Our eagle-eyed readers are spotting subtle changes to Apple.com starting with a gray navigational bar across the top of the page -- which wasn't rendering properly with the iPad at first. There are also bits of animation to other parts of the site, including the Mac page. The core part of the site ...

Downloads aren't gone from Apple.com, just less visible

by TJ Luoma (Mar 16th, 2010)

We've had a few concerned readers contact us, worried that Apple has deleted or otherwise discontinued the "Downloads" section of its Web site. Fear not, gentle reader, they are still available in the same place as always: http://www.apple.com/downloads/. What caused the confusion was the ...

Many Safari users will note that Apple's Start Page (set as Safari's default homepage) was redesigned today. This page is used by Apple to let customers know of any changes, updates, or product revisions. The page now shows four dynamically changing tiles at the top: a movie trailer section, hot ...

Flickr Find: TUAW is the word

by Mike Schramm (Sep 30th, 2008)

Rob H. was playing Wurdle on his iPhone when he came across what we'll appropriately call a bug -- apparently the program doesn't actually recognize us as a word (maybe it needs the accent mark over the U?). But we appreciate him trying anyway. Maybe we'll contact the SOWPODS people and see if we ...

Apple Store redesigns

by Mike Schramm (Sep 26th, 2007)

As the good Doc Mac points out very adeptly with the picture above, the reason for the Apple Store's outage Wednesday morning must have been a redesign-- it's come back with a splash of blue. I like the new look. I think the slight gradient in the background makes it, but the rounded corners, ...

Apple sites worldwide gain the new metal look

by David Chartier (Aug 9th, 2007)

We're receiving reports that Apple sites around the world have been updated to the new 'metal look' that the US site received last June at the start of WWDC '07. Since I live in the US, I'm less familiar with Apple's international sites. However, TUAW reader Graham points out apple.com/nz/ which ...
