Apple’s OS X Mountain Lion, which is set to be released this summer, is reportedly being infused with even more iOS features. According to 9to5 Mac, the most recent Developer Preview 3 has automatic application downloads partially enabled, but it’s not 100 percent functional. When the feature does go live, however, it will work the

It seems that Apple may be going crazy for Retina Displays, and the technology may find its way on to the next version of the iMac. Rumors surfaced yesterday that Apple might be adding the Retina Display technology to the next version of the MacBook Pro, but that might not be where the story ends.

Apple’s refreshed (and unannounced) MacBook Pro and iMac have started to pop-up in Geekbench benchmarks over the past several days. MacRumors noticed the new benchmarks in its forums, where a “MacBookPro9,1″ entry surfaced, which suggests it will land as the 2012 replacement for the current MacBookPro8,x versions of the popular notebook. The new MacBook will reportedly

A new survey conducted by CNBC claims that over half of American homes own an Apple product — that includes the iPhone, iPod, iPad, iMac, etc. The thing about the data, however, is that the number could potentially be much higher (or lower) because only 836 Americans took part in the survey, which is merely

Apple’s penchant for minimalism is well known, and it’s a motif that frequently reveals itself in the history of Apple’s design. Most of Apple’s products have followed this progression of minimalism since their introduction. The iMac itself has evolved dramatically in this fashion since it was first released. However, some of Apple’s products have changed

At 2:00 am I found myself sitting half-naked in my desk chair, staring deeply into the incandescent glow of my monitor as I scanned an email. I had been trying to sell my iMac on craigslist for a few weeks, and I had a bite. Or at least from the subject line, it looked like

After months of beta testing and nearly ten pre-release builds, Apple has finally pushed out its OS X Lion 10.7.3 update to the public.

The newest fad among industry analysts seems to be speculating on whether or not Apple plans on jumping into the TV-making game. Before Steve Jobs passed, he admitted to biographer Walter Isaacson that he was able to crack the secret to making an intuitive home television experience for consumers, and we’ve been getting rumors ever

After teasing its discounts with pretty banners on its website earlier this week, Apple has now slashed prices off a number of goods in its online stores around the world for Black Friday. Shoppers can enjoy $101 off selected Macs, up to $41 off selected iPods, and up to $61 off the iPad 2. There’s

My holiday wish list for 2011 has changed a number of times throughout the year. It was initially dominated by Sony’s upcoming PlayStation Vita, but when that was delayed I had to make some changes. I’ve now got a list that I’m really happy with — one that isn’t just perfect for me, but also fit for any Buffalo with an interest in the latest tech, whether your budget is $2,000 or $20. Be sure to leave me a comment and let me know what’s on your list this year.

Many were disappointed with Apple when the company announced its iPhone 4S early last month. Following rumors surrounding an iPhone 5, some where expecting an all-new device that boasted a fancy redesign. That device will be coming next year, however, according to “sources in the upstream supply chain,” and it will be accompanied by an

Apple is said to be mulling over the future of its longstanding Mac Pro desktop line. Due to the advent of Apple’s new Thunderbolt connectivity standard, the once superior flexibility and architecture of the Mac Pro is being cannibalised by notebook, iMac and Mac mini popularity. Even with Intel’s new Sandy Bridge processors hitting early next year,

Amigakit has announced that it is launching a new desktop PC that will launch in time for this year’s holiday season.

I’m not a lawyer, and I do not profess to be. My understanding of the law is not profound, but what I lack in legal knowledge, I like to think I make up for in common sense. What I am about to say will elate some, infuriate others, and hopefully leave a few readers thinking,

This morning Apple quietly rolled out a lower cost 21.5-inch iMac, but before you whip out those credit cards and place your orders, you better make sure you can set up Joe’s College for Wayward Teens as a legitimate school of higher education. The new $999 version of 21.5-inch iMac is available only to schools,

For Mac OS X users, there’s no better way to purchase software than through the Mac App Store. It’s easy to find, easy to download and install, easy to update, and you don’t have to worry about saving all of your software licenses. It’s best feature, however, is that a single purchase license from the

If you recently purchased a new iMac, you may need to head back to the Apple Store. Apple has issued a recall for some potentially defective 1 TB Seagate hard drives that were installed in iMacs sold in May and June of this year. The drives were used in both the 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMacs

June has become the traditional time period for Apple to launch their Back to School promotions, but unlike in previous years where you got an iPod for free, or a significant amount of credit towards a more expensive one, this year the company is taking a very different tact. Starting today and running through Sept.

In a not so shocking turn of events, it appears that Apple is preparing to update the MacBook Air line of ultra-portable laptops.  According to DigiTimes, the company has significantly increased its orders for this month, a clear indication that it is attempting to build up stock for a product launch. The last update to

The 2011 iMac spring update is running the new Sandy Bridge Intel processors, also known as the second generation of the “i” CPUs. The July 2010 iMac update was running the first generation of these systems, and only saw a quad-core option on the the high-end 27-inch model. The latest release sees all four iterations

As was widely speculated this past week, Apple has indeed updated the iMac line today, and while they contain the same external looks, there is a whole lot of new stuff going on inside of them. The biggest news is that while Apple never specifically says, the 2011 iMac update is running Sandy Bridge Intel

If you’ve been waiting for an update to Apple’s popular all-in-one iMac line so you could pick one up, it looks like your hopes will be answered come this Tuesday, May 3rd. We reported just under two weeks ago that Apple’s supply of the current iMacs, last updated in July 2010, appeared to be tightening

A new generation of iMacs may be on the way. Supplies of the popular all-in-one computer are reportedly dwindling, a practice that usually occurs right before a line is updated. According to a 9to5Mac tipster, supplies are tight in most markets, with one large market having not ETA for new shipments of the computer. New

I’ve been covering Apple products for going on 15 years now, and using them for way longer than that. My elementary school had an Apple IIe with a monochrome green screen in the library. My high school newspaper was published on a fleet of Macintosh Plus, SE and Classics networked together via LocalTalk and an
