The Apple deal with IBM has shown us a whole new side of Tim Cook --the gushing, hype-laden, excited-but-still-vague Tim Cook who says things like "kindred spirit," "fits together like a puzzle," "huge opportunity," "radical step for enterprise," and "new level to achieve in business." Who peppers his speech with words like "profound," "complementary," "landmark" and "thrilled." ...
Strong iPhone and Mac sales droves Apple to achieve record revenue forthe June quarter -- quarterly revenue of US$37.4 billion and quarterlynet profit of $7.7 billion, which is $1.28 per share and about a 12.3percent rise in profits. Interestingly, Apple managed to bump up itsprofit margin, too: Gross margin was 39.4 percent compared to 36.9percent in the year-ago quarter...
The news that Apple and IBM have joined forces sent a shockwavethrough the Apple-focused world this week, and I admit it, I wassurprised. At first glance, the deal seems to be this big group hugwith the two companies becoming inextricably entwined ...
The hottest crowdsourced hit of the summer is the Coolest Cooler, an unassuming party cooler that features a built-in ice-crushing blender, a removable waterproof Bluetooth speaker, a USBcharger, an LED lid light, a gear tie down, super wide wheels fordragging it over sand, a bottle opener, integrated storagefor plates, a divider to help keep your margarita ice separatefrom your sandwiches, and a rust-proof ceramic knife built right intothe lid...

There's a lot riding on Apple's new Photos for Mac OS X app. At WWDC,Apple briefly showed off an early version of its upcoming Photos app,which will integrate with iCloud and the iOS 8-based Photos app with theiCloud Photo Library service ...
As I look forward to the likely September launch of the next iPhone, Ican't help but wonder how the heck Apple is going to name its newlineup. Make no mistake, the naming scheme for the iPhone is duefor a change. Last year, the shakeup was two form factors thatintroduced the plastic body of the iPhone 5c with the clear flagshipiPhone 5s model ...

I just had a disappointing palm-to-forehead realization: Apple'siCloud investments will reduce the pressure for Apple to increase thestorage space on the iPhone 6. I no longer have hope that the next entry-level iPhone 6 willstart at US$199 for 32 GB of storage ...
During Apple's WWDC keynote event last week, it became exceedinglyclear that we won't be seeing a converged iPad/MacBook device anytimesoon. ...
While there were two hours jam-packed with announcements at the keynotepresentation kicking off Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference thisweek, you can count the really important announcements that willcreate lasting change on one hand. The new programming language, Swift,isn't one of them. Wait, what? Not Swift? Why? ...
A small team in France has created what it calls the world's firstfull HD 360-degree camera -- the 360cam by Giroptic. The 360cam iscurrently one of the hottest Kickstarter projects, blastingpast its modest US$150,000 goal to rack up nearly $800,000 incrowd-based funding with 29 days to go ...
Apple managed to pull off a mean feat on Monday at itsWorldWide Developers Conference. Without announcing a singlehardware device, it teased consumers with dozens of updatedfeatures in iOS 8 and the next version of Mac OS X -- dubbed "Yosemite" -- then doubled-down with app developers by offering tons ofnew APIs, along with elements of deep integration between apps and devices. The company capped it all off with the announcement of Swift, a brand new Xcode programming language for developers...
I get the sense that a good many Apple enthusiasts are confusedby its acquisition of Beats Electronics. Sure, many are nodding their heads, saying that Beats is good for Apple and makes total sense. The headphones are selling well. With 250,000 paying subscribers, the Beats Music service is taking off fast, and it can only be elevated by Apple's global brand and infrastructure...
The hottest tech rumor of the week already happened, and it's only Tuesday: Apple is finally breaking into home automation. That's right -- connected lights, thermostats, security systems and home appliances. And the key? the iPhones that already are carried by millions of consumers ...
Microsoft is positioning its new Surface Pro 3 tablet as alaptop replacement device -- instead of competing head-to-headwith the Apple iPad. However, the Surface Pro 3 naturally invitescomparisons to both the MacBook Air and the iPad Air. Plus,Microsoft has had plenty of time to smooth the rough edges fromWindows 8 and build a more competitive mobile device... . So what'sgreat -- or overblown -- about the Surface Pro 3? And can it really bea laptop replacement?...

Despite coming from one of the world's most well-known tech companies,Microsoft, Windows Phone has a freakishly odd smartphone brandingproblem. From what I see out there, most consumers barely know what aWindows Phone is or how it works or why they might want one. ...
