I love it when this happens. Let’s think back over the last several years, and collectively recall when Apple would accuse Microsoft of using its power and market share unfairly. “Antitrust!” they shouted. Now, Apple is being accused of unfair practices, of using its power and market share unfairly. They are (gasp!) trying to convince [...]
There really is a sick, sweet justice here as far as I’m concerned. Apple is about to be probed for antitrust activities, assuming the FTC and the Department of Justice can decide who gets to do the probe. What is the investigation? Apple is being accused of not playing fair in requiring developers to use [...]
The stories about the “stolen” iPhone and Gizmodo’s reporting on it are all over the Internet. A brief summary for those not following the story:

The Reader’s Digest versioin: rootkits were demonstrated for iPhone and iPad, allowing control over the device without the owner’s knowledge. They were installed, and then undetectable, and could capture any data [...]
This article is a bit biased, but it does have an overall good point. I don’t have a list of specific vulnerabilities for each OS, but all of them have their flaws. Yes, even OS X.
The fact of the matter is, Apple, like Microsoft, has shipped an imperfect operating system. It’s nothing to get up [...]
As expected, Apple has unveiled the iPad today. Head over to gizmodo to have a look at it…This link will be constantly updating.
The short version: it’s a great big iPhone that doesn’t have 3G access – maybe that makes it an iPod Touch… Update: disregard, there is a 3G version available, with AT&T providing service. [...]
