Apple’s Push notifications while grossly past due from their original due date of last year, were at least delayed for good reason. At the iPhone OS 3.0 preview, Apple stated the delay was because of “developers suggesting ideas and methods of implementing the push service that they had never thought of”, which in return required a complete re-write of the service, hence the massive delay. But the real question is why does Apple refuse to bring by far the most requested and undoubtedly most important feature, background processes, to the iPhone platform?

The World Wide Web is quickly becoming the one stop shop if you will for everything in our lives. Everything from cooking classes, to how-to mechanic videos, to live concerts.

All of the new found love in video over broadband connections is making broadband providers sweat. Why? Are tiered plans really all they’re cracked up to be?

Everyone has been getting all hot and bothered lately about Apple’s next UI overhaul. What will it look like? Well, since iTunes 7 came out with a darker look, you have probably been staring at the next Apple OS UI and didn’t even know it. Apple loves simplicity, eye candy, and used to cherish uniformity. However, with the darker look in iTunes 7/8 and now the new iLife ‘09 suite, Apple seems to either be going through a slow transition as to not shock us all at once, or they themselves don’t even know what they want to do, like they’re stuck between Aqua and “Marble”. All of this uncertainty on UI styles brings up the question: Why one style? Come inside for a look at several styles OS X has taken and the possibility of what future renditions hold…

Everyone who knows anything about computers knows that Apple computers will always be more expensive than their PC counterparts. According to Microsoft and as well as many individuals, the “Apple Tax” is wasted money on nothing more than some cute little fruit logo afixed somewhere on your machine. For others it is a sign of “coolness”, youth, and individuality. One thing is for sure, Apple who was expected to weather the econmoic storm is mortal just like everyone else. So much so that even they lost market share year-to-year between last year and this year. But how how much? And is Apple really suited for marketing products that could propel them to the majority of the worlds, or at least U.S. anyway, market share charts? Heck, do they even want to be market leaders?
