I will admit, I love my Apple products...from my first iPod many years ago to the iMac I got this last September, I've really become a big fan. They just work! Now, from the latest World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), comes the preview of the upcoming Mac OS X "Yosemite" operating system, and some of the features being added almost made me stand up and cheer. It's a good thing I was

The TV ad--titled, "Misunderstood," has a very touching surprise ending. It turns out that the young man was recording video of the various activities surrounding the family's celebration, and surprises them on Christmas morning by t

I blogged yesterday about Apple releasing their updated iOS 7 operating system for iDevices. Well, I not only updated my iPhone 5, but later Wednesday evening I was able to update my iPad as well. That one went very smoothly. Of course, with the release of the first major overhaul of the iOS in a long time comes some cool hidden features that you'll probably want to check out!

Like so many other users of Apple products, I anxiously awaited the release of the newest operating system update for the iPhones/iPads/iPods, iOS7. I had seen a couple of Facebook posts of articles--both pro and con--regarding whether or not one should download and install the update right away, or wait. I don't like waiting, so I went for it as soon as it was available (just after 1:00pm yesterd

With Apple releasing the iOS 7.0 update today, and the new line of iPhones this Friday, the automated voice of "Siri" will be heard a lot in the next few days. But did you know the synthesized 'voice' of Siri has an actual human voice behind her? Meet the professional voice actor whose voice is becoming one of the most-heard the world over!

I purchased the ipad2 on Black Friday and received $50 off during that discounted day.  Apple really doesn't offer many discounts on days like that so I was fortunate to at least get $50 off.  I absolutely love this thing and I highly suggest getting one...

Apple on Thursday issued IOS 5.0.1, an incremental update for the iPhone, IPad and IPod touch that addresses a well-publicized bug that resulted in shorter battery life. The update is now available to all users through ITunes, and will also be made available for download as an over-the-air update...

There are so many applications these days and so many different versions of apps. I think it's so cool that you can personalize your phone.  If you are a businessman you can set it up so where all of your mail, important contacts, etc...
