At one point and time, carrying a DSLR made you feel special. In a sea of point and shoot cameras you looked like a bonafide professional photographer—even if you never ventured past your DSLR’s Auto shooting mode.

Apple’s 4th quarter earnings report here in 2013 had mention of the best of said quarters for iPhones sold in the history of the company – but even that didn’t sway one user from asking Apple CEO Tim Cook what the benefits were for the newest set of features for the iPhone 5s over the […]
Just in case Apple’s pricing scheme didn’t make things crystal clear, CEO Tim Cook may have just set one thing to rest during today’s earnings call: The iPhone 4s is the company’s entry level model, and the 5c — once said to be tailored for emerging markets and targeting more price-sensitive …

Every so often, you hear a video game soundtrack that’s so well crafted you want to keep playing just so you can listen longer. Duet, an arcade puzzle game by Melbourne, Australia-based studio Kumobius, luckily has a lot more to recommend it than just its music, but the marriage between action and sound in the game is utterly masterful.

There’s little negative to be said about this fourth quarter of 2013 for Apple, especially given the fact that they’ve released several iPhones and no iPads for the past several months. What we’re seeing here is a revenue that’s gone down from the quarter immediately before this one, and up from the quarter one year […]
