The iPhone jailbreak community has seen some tremendous growth over the few years Apple’s has iterated it’s iPhone upgrades.  Still, the ultra geek who demands more than Apple will give out of the iPhone is more than likely headed down the path to jailbreaking.  Today’s User Blog Feature comes from MattsMacintosh with a video of

With hugely successful games like Rolando, Eliminate, and Topple, Ngmoco has become one of the most popular game developers for the iPhone.  Beyond gaming, they’ve developed a social network for the iPod Touch and iPhone that allow users to communicate and compete no matter which game they’re playing.  Ngmoco hopes to score big with their

The weekly BuffaloBuzz is back with another episode.  This week, we take a look at: In the U.S., you can pre-order your iPad and have it by Saturday, April 3rd.  Pre-order date is set for March .  Both versions will hit Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, and the U.K. in late April.  Starting

On Oct. 23, 2001, Steve Jobs unveiled the first version of the now ubiquitous iPod.  It was a far cry from what we are used to seeing these days, and so was the first commercial. Although the commercial was radically different than the ones we see these days for the iPod line, it is actually a stunningly

PC gamers have long held the upper hand over Mac gamers, but Valve hopes to extend an olive branch to with their announcement that their digital distribution platform Steam will soon make its way onto the Mac.  Following image slipups and a series of Mac gaming teasers, Valve plans to treat the Mac as a

Everyone’s jumping on the iPad mockery.  MADtv was first to enter the fray with a their ever so obvious iPad skit that mocked Apple before Apple got around to making the darn thing.  Then there was E4′s ePad spoof that landed a few hits on Apple’s iPad overview video.  Surprisingly not far behind is Doritos, who’s

Time is dwindling down to the launch of the iPad on April 3rd.  Preorders start this Friday but if you were thinking Apple might pop in a few unseen surprises like a camera, iPhone OS 4.0, or even several apps that come standard on the iPhone, I wouldn’t recommend getting your hopes up.  If you’re

We realize not everyone is head over heels in love with the iPad and it’s pretty clear that HP does too. Those let down by the iPad’s shortcomings are looking to the inevitable HP Slate to offer a full desktop experience that includes Adobe Flash, multitasking, and a front facing camera.  Ahead of the newly

There is definitely something afoot at the Apple App Store, but what exactly is causing this sudden, and seemingly random, change in direction from Apple is left solely to our imaginations at this point. Back on Feb. 18th, it came to light that Apple was beginning to ban sexually suggestive applications from the App Store.

Just as it did back in 2007 with the first iPhone commercial, Apple purchased air time during the 82nd Annual Academy Awards to show off a commercial for the iPad. Why choose an event such as this?  Think about the audience for an awards show such as this.  You can’t get a more mainstream audience

One of the most well known software distributors for the Mac has another bundle of software for sale from which 25% of proceeds from are donated to charity.  Today’s User Blog Feature comes from Tyler Payne with a rundown of MacHeist’s latest nanobundle.  If you’re looking for some super cheap software thats insanely discounted, check

This morning Apple finally announced the retail availability of the iPad.  It will be arriving at doorsteps and Apple Stores on Saturday April 3rd, with pre-orders set to begin on March 12th.  At this point, the device has been talked to death.  If you are reading this, odds are you are tech savvy and know

During the 2007 Academy Awards ceremony, Apple ran the above ad for the iPhone.  It was the first commercial for the product, and while there was a later one that showed off how it worked, boy was this one out of the normal for the company. In a recent article at Computerworld, Ian Paul pointed

Last week, a few members of the Valve forums noticed some files that that were included with the new Steam beta, hinting that Valve may be working to release a Mac client for their popular Steam platform. For those unfamiliar, Steam is a digital distribution platform developed by Valve who’s best known for their insanely

Five years ago I bought my first Apple product.  Although music played such a small part of my life, I picked up a 30GB iPod Classic my freshman year of college.  Yes it was good, but there was nothing astounding about a portable media player.  After the battery burned out the click wheel, it would

The big news yesterday in the tech world was undoubtedly the lawsuit that Apple filed against HTC for infringing 20 patents granted to Apple over the years.  Nobody really knows what Apple is after with the suit but if they come out victorious, it could mean some major changes to many current HTC handsets.  Some

It seems awfully easy to spoof anything Apple’s done.  The iPad was spoofed before it came to be and there’s some pretty hilarious editing to the event announcement, revealing the ridiculous overusing of incredible adjectives.  Now from a video E4 takes a stab with their own take on the iPad: the ePad.  While it’s a brief one

You can almost hear the rattle of military vehicles moving into their assigned positions on either side of the battlefield: Guns are being loaded, land mines planted, field hospitals erected … yep, it’s the sounds of the coming eBook War. With Apple’s iPad set to launch by the end of the month, it seems that

Today Apple decided to defend their 20 government issued patents and filed a lawsuit against handset giant HTC.  The breadth of these patents range from the unlock screen to how the camera draws power from the battery and everything in between.  First instinct I think is going to accuse Apple of bullying, posturing, and just

While there has not been any official confirmation as of yet that there will be a new iPhone coming out this year, we do have to remember that this is Apple we’re talking about here.  A new model each year is pretty much a given, and there is no reason why 2010 should be any

Where does anyone get the idea to base an entire music video off a computer?  Dennis Liu did just that for a group called The Bird and the Bee and their song “Again & Again.”  Keep in mind this was pre-Snow Leopard but it still showcases the many features of the Mac OS.  The low-budget video

In the days leading up to the iPad announcement, a passionate tech crew thought that we’d see the future of computing within Apple’s tablet.  Steve Jobs was vaguely quoted as saying it was the most important project he’s ever worked on and hysterical rumors of motion sensitive tracking with a custom UI would help Apple

Apple has always been famous for doing its own thing, very rarely caring what the competition is doing, preferring to lead the pack instead of following it. However, when you have the European Union telling you how something is going to be, and you want to be able to continue to sell your device there,

If you keep saying something long enough, eventually it will come true.  We’ve been predicting Mac updates for quite a while now, but it looks like the stars are finally aligned to bring us Core i5 Macbook Pro’s (with on the fly graphic switching), new MacBook Air’s, and a refreshed Mac Pro.  In this video

Remember way back in the mists of time when the iPad was going to be called the iTablet or the iSlate? Would it surprise you to learn that tablets sporting those rejected names will shortly be available to buy? Although not from Apple!
