Steve Jobs showed off their latest iPod ‘silhouette’ advert at the ‘Special Event’ in San Jose. I say ‘silhouette’ because it is multi coloured and Eminem has shades so you can make out who he, otherwise you would think that the person is your average John Doe. Although I don’t like Eminem or his music [...]

One of my favourite podcasts, The MacCast, was mentioned on The Gadget Show on Channel 5 here in the UK. They said that it was a very good podcast and they highly reccomend it to anyone.

I was really hyped up about iTunes 6 and I really couldn’t wait any longer. So I headed to the US site and download iTunes 6 for Mac. After downloading 80MB(!!) I installed it and off I went. You can see the screenshot above. I had already told iTunes where my music was being kept [...]

Ok guys, the event has started, but because Apple conviniently chose an area where there is no mobile coverage there will be no live updates, but the news will be brought to you as quick as possible. The image above is apparently of the new iPod that will be announced. It looks like it would [...]

Could this be the new iPod that Apple will announce? Apparently the photo was taken at the Apple Event, after people had a chance to sign in. The event is going to start in less than 20 minutes so I will keep everyone updated through my site. This image is a zoom-in of the poster [...]

As a part of my subscription with Apple, they send me weekly newsletters and the above screenshot shows the latest one for October 7. It reads “Find it. Hear it. Buy it. Mix it. Watch it. Right from your desktop with iTunes.” By watch it, it could mean that there will be something interesting to [...]
