Raven is built with open Web standards. That means we use modern HTML and CSS techniques, JavaScript, and Canvas, instead of proprietary technologies like Flash. This is a perfect fit for Safari on the iPad, because WebKit on the iPhone OS (the browser rendering engine) is just like us – ...

I’m someone who has experience going through hard drive crash hell with my MacBook Pro. The last time it happened to me was in 2006 and it cost me several thousand dollars to recover most of my hard drive data. Soon after that happened, we wrote about how to backup ...

If you’ve been following Apple’s patents over the past few years, you would have noticed a trend in tablet-like devices and innovative ways to interact with electronic devices (like gestures on MacBooks and iPhone’s user interface.)

At Sitening, we’re strictly an Apple shop — we use Macs in every part of our workflow. Several of us yesterday were watching a live feed of Steve Jobs’ Keynote speech with keen interest, “oohing” and “aahing” as the feed was updated with shiny new products. This led me to ...

The Apple Store is a fun place to dream. Unfortunately, my orders usually end being the lowest end configuration. For example, if I were to buy the Mac Pro, the lowest price option would be $2,299.00. But what would the price tag be if I allowed myself to dream a ...

By now, everyone has heard about the major new features in Apple’s new operating system, Mac OS X 10.5 — code-named Leopard. However, there are several little known new features that are actually quite cool. I’ve compiled a list the sixteen coolest little known new features of Mac OS X ...

Apple announced the release date for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) this morning. I was browsing through the technology overview page and came across this strange description for Bonjour: “Holisticly provide access to ethical communities vis-a-vis client-focused.” Seriously? That can’t be real. This has to be some strange, internal lorem ...
