By Darrell Etherington “There’s no doubt that Apple has changed,” Jeremy Horwitz, editor in chief of iLounge, told me in an email. “Probably due to the awful PR its prior lawsuits generated, and because cease-and-desist letters only confirm leaks, Apple has wisely stopped going after the people who generate i...

By Dave Caolo The larger question is, will Apple be successful without Steve Jobs? That's the question that scares investors and causes the stock to dive when some jerk posts a fake story about Steve's health. The fear isn't completely unfounded. The last time Steve left Apple, the company nearly disap...

By Nicholas Deleon A new set of EU Directives could force Apple to re-design its iPod and iPhone in Europe. And if it did that, it might as well re-design them for every market, right? As such, Apple, whose iPod and iPhone don’t have easily removable batteries, would have to do a little re-designin’.

By Mike Schramm And the other good news here is the Apple seems to finally be giving gaming a space in their marketing, if not in their culture as a whole. For a long time, gaming has had to take a backseat at Apple, but the recent push behind the iPod as "the funnest iPod ever" and these in-store displays point t...

By Jason Kincaid When the iPhone was first released, there was an abundance of speculation over whether the phone’s lack of Flash support would cripple its browser and give us something less than “the real web” that Apple had promised.

By John Biggs I was never a Touch man. I loved the iPhone but the Touch never drove me to drink in quite the same way. I am pleased, however, to report that I’m getting me a 32GB Touch as soon as the Apple Store opens tomorrow. Why? A few reasons. Finally, the pricing is very agreeable. $229 is a nice point to start an...

By sam mcloughln Apple has been very careful when releasing the IPhone and later the SDK to keep most of the power to itself.

By Erica Sadun If the new iPhone 2.1 beta firmware is anything, it's a perfect excuse to say: "I told you so." It explains why the NDA failed to disappear on schedule.

By m.simon@spymacnetwork.com (Michael Simon) The way I see it, that battle between Apple and Microsoft ostensibly ended on April 5, and Boot Camp can be the beginning of a beautiful friendship, where the past is laid to rest, and Leopard and Vista walk hand in hand into the sunset.
