The Simpsons skewer iPad obsession with A Tree Grows In Springfield

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Nov 27th, 2012)

This past Sunday night The Simpsons ran an episode with what has now become a semi-regular guest star: Mapple Computer. This episode devoted a considerable chunk of the story to Homer's obsession with his newly won MyPad. I can't give away any more due to spoilers, but suffice it to say the man ...

Tim Cook in NYT, says joining Apple was 'best decision I ever made'

by Mike Schramm (Jan 24th, 2011)

The New York Times has written a nice profile of Tim Cook, who is once again sliding into the driver's seat at Apple while Steve Jobs takes medical leave. To hear the paper tell it, Cook is both a man well-prepared to fill Jobs' role if needed, and yet not exactly the creative visionary Jobs has ...

Steve Jobs action figure no longer available

by Michael Gray (Nov 23rd, 2010)

The Steve Jobs action figure has been making the rounds of the Internet in the last few days. Rocking a black turtleneck, blue jeans, and an iPhone, the magical and revolutionary replication of Apple's chief honcho has been a huge hit for many fans of Apple. Unfortunately, according to M.I.C. ...

Report: Steve Jobs was 'furious' over Microsoft's acquisition of Bungie

by Mike Schramm (Oct 26th, 2010)

Apple hasn't shown a lot of initiative on the gaming side of things (this past "Back to the Mac" event was the first time the company even mentioned Steam coming to the Mac, something even Valve has admitted is a huge deal), but apparently Steve Jobs still has somewhat of a competitive ...

Introducing the iPod ninja

by Mike Schramm (Sep 25th, 2010)

We here at TUAW fortunately passed on reporting the obviously fake story of Steve Jobs being denied access to Japan because of ninja stars he was reportedly carrying in his luggage. But we did like this fake Apple page from the folks at Scoopertino, featuring the iPod ninja, a brand new throwing ...

by Mike Schramm (Sep 22nd, 2010)

For the Apple fan who has everything, here's a blockhead bust of Steve Jobs. It's been 3D printed by Dutch artist Metin Seven, and if the urge so hits you, you can buy your own online for just under $120.

Lost iPhone investigation almost done

by Mike Schramm (Sep 22nd, 2010)

We could finally be nearing the end of the lost iPhone saga. Way back in April, police launched a probe into the alleged sale of the lost prototype iPhone 4 that was found in a bar near San Jose earlier this year, and CNET is now reporting that the investigation is almost over. Chief Deputy District ...

iPod touch outselling PSP and DS in games, not systems

by Mike Schramm (Sep 1st, 2010)

During this morning's event, Steve Jobs tossed out the factoid that the iPod touch was trouncing traditional handheld gaming, claiming that the system had sold more than Nintendo and Sony's portables combined. If, like us, you thought that meant Apple had sold more devices than traditional game ...

iPhone 4 press conference, by the numbers

by Megan Lavey-Heaton (Jul 16th, 2010)

Apple dropped a lot of interesting numbers during the press conference this morning, from both their own research and AT&T's data. Steve Jobs also said that three million iPhone 4s have been sold to date, so let's put this into perspective. .55 percent: This is the percentage of iPhone 4 ...

Apple plays satirical iPhone Antenna Song at press conference

by Mike Schramm (Jul 16th, 2010)

Here it is -- the Jonathan Mann video that Apple just played (no kidding) to start off their official press conference. No really -- right before Steve Jobs took the stage, he played this song for gathered reporters, and it's fair to say that the video shared in no uncertain terms what he thinks: ...

NYC mayor Bloomberg loves his iPad

by Mike Schramm (Jul 14th, 2010)

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg loves his iPad, apparently -- he carries it with him everywhere, uses it for briefings, and even reads speeches off of it, as seen above. He's checking weather in the places he's heading off to vacation at, and he's reading in iBooks, too -- lately it's "The ...

Unity CEO disses Jobs on gaming

by Mike Schramm (Jul 13th, 2010)

Unity CEO David Helgason gave a talk at the Develop conference, going on this week in Brighton, England, and had some harsh words for Steve Jobs on supporting iPhone gaming. Jobs previously said that using "middleware" like Unity to develop iPhone games "produces sub-standard apps," but Helgason ...

Steve Jobs stops by Paris Opera store

by Mike Schramm (Jul 7th, 2010)

I have my doubts about what's going on here, but I'll let you judge the veracity of this one for yourself. The above video is supposedly a short clip of none other than Steve Jobs walking through the newly opened Paris Opera Apple Store during this past weekend on July 3rd. A commenter on 9to5Mac ...

Steve Jobs' Head and the iPhone girl's single

by Mike Schramm (Jul 1st, 2010)

Ever wonder what's in Steve Jobs' head? If so, then this song is for you. Jonathan Mann is a singer-songwriter who's been doing a song a day since the beginning of last year, and he wrote this little ditty about the crazy, mad genius of one S. Jobs. Mann's a big Apple fan, apparently; he also ...

Will the iPhone 4 blend? What do you think?

by Mike Schramm (Jun 25th, 2010)

Oh come on. You knew it was coming, ever since the iPhone 4 was announced. And here it is. There's not much to say -- you know what's going to happen. Just watch and enjoy. And kudos, BlendTec. It's even cornier (and more surreal) than usual, but pays off nicely. One question: who is that dude, ...
