I’m Canadian, so I care about the U.S. election only in so far as which candidate is less likely to invade us for our rich, tasty maple syrup reserves, and more likely to keep sending us movies, TV shows, and video games, all now the property of Disne…

Apple introduces the iPad Mini and updates their line of computers. With Leo Laporte, Andy Ihnatko, Don Don McAllister, and yours truly. (I’ll be on regularly from now on, which is both an honor and a lot of fun.) Subscribe or download: TWiT.tv Macbre…

If streaming the October 2012 Apple iPad and Mac event isn’t your thing, it’s also now available for download as an iTunes podcast. Actually, as 3 iTunes podcasts — standard, 720p, and 1080p. Same great keynote content, even higher definition video f…

If you missed watching Apple’s live stream of their iPad and Mac event today, Apple has posted a streaming version of the recording so you can see the new 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro, Mac mini, ultra-thin iMac, updated iPad 4, and new Mac mini in all t…

Apple not only released the iPad mini but also a brand new iPad 4 to sit on top of the tablet food chain. It’s got the new Apple A6X processor, the new Qualcomm international LTE radio, and the new Lightning connector. Does that chance the comparison …

Apple has just announced the iPad mini and that means they’ve fully entered the small tablet space. Priced starting at $329, however, they didn’t obliterate it as some (including yours truly) thought they would. There’s now plenty of room under Apple’…

We’ve gotten a ton of requests for an iPad Retina wallpaper version of the October 28 iPad mini event invitation, so I whipped this one together quickly. It’s not great, more Photoshop trickery, less painstaking re-building of the original like I did …

Apple calls the iPod nano 7 “renanoed”, and if you look at the longer, thinner shape, and the wider screen, it’s harder to argue the logic than it is the ad copy. It still isn’t running iOS, and Apple has rounded the icons to better visually different…

While Starbucks was fairly quick to roll out iPhone 5 and Passbook support in the U.S., their Canadian and UK apps languished in 2:3, non-Passbook purgatory… until today. Sort of. Starbucks has begun to update internationally, and they’re ready to s…

Apple has begun sending out invitations to select members of the media for their upcoming October 23 special event, widely considered to be focused on the iPad and Macs. Jim Dalrymple of The Loop has the details: Apple on Tuesday announced a special …

Good things come in small packages, like the Pad & Quill book cases. But with the new 16:9, 4-inch iPhone 5, they’ll also need to come in slightly taller packages. And that’s just what’s coming our way with the Little Pocket Book for iPhone 5. Acc…

Apple keeps improving the camera in the iPhone on a roughly yearly schedule, but given some comments from Steve Jobs on revolutionizing photography, there have been rumors of… something more. Nikon has just explored one avenue of more-ness, namely s…

With the iPad mini still set for unveiling this month, part leaks are likely to happen. Apple seems better able to guard against new products slipping out than updates, but the supply chain is big and long and there’s just too many companies and peopl…

Despite Steve Jobs teasing Bill Gates about the benefits of software lovers wanting to make their own hardware, and Gates rage-laughingly retorting with PC market share numbers, Microsoft has often flirted with the integrated device model. From Xbox t…

iOS 6 was the first full iOS update offered over-the-air (OTA) using Apple’s bit-differential, update-in-place iCloud system. That should make for faster, more convenient updates for current devices, and easier migrations to new devices. But the thing…

Less. Than. Three. That’s how many days remain until Apple holds their September 12 event and we almost certainly get our first, official look at the iPhone 5. I just put up a fancy new iPhone super page to keep track of all the action, and we have lo…
