Apple Tries To Patent Method To Lock Down Your Mobile Device

One of the ways Apple’s iPhone succeeded where other phones failed is that it doesn’t let carriers install custom firmware that locks out features of the phone.

Apple and AT&T Working On 3G MacBook

Apple is one company that is never far away from rumors, in fact, it would be quite unusual for Cupertino to be rumor-free for a few months.

Apple’s 2009 MacBook Pro: Battery Life to Die For

I was so focused on the iPhone 3GS and Snow Leopard announcements from this year’s WWDC that I almost missed the gravity of the MacBook Pro announcements.

Apple Delivers IPhone 3G S But Leaves Out Much More

The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) keynote address was doomed to disappoint even before Phil Schiller uttered his first “iPhone.” It’s not that the keynote was a dud.
