This week the folks at Apple have revealed a new generation for the MacBook Air at WWDC 2013 with a 4th Generation Intel core processor (Haswell.) This system works with Haswell ULT, made for notebooks to work with smart low-power states with “up to 30 days” of standby time. While the 5 hours of battery
Today, Apple has just announced their all new and improved OS X 10 Mavericks operating system, and it will be loaded with new features. Things such as finder tags, multiple screen use, serious memory management and much more. Now we know what you’re all wondering. When can you get it? Well, it looks like later
Apple has updated the Mac notifications system in OS X Mavericks, as well as refining the calendar app. The new notifications system borrows some of iOS’ aesthetic, as well as its flexibility. Pop-ups can be used to respond to messages straight away; however, there’s now also support for getting push notifications from iOS apps. Since
The web browser Safari has been given an unforseen boost this week during WWDC 2013 from Apple in their presentation of OS X Mavericks. This system’s name comes from surfers down on the west coast – so too does the web surfing app at the head of Apple’s efforts make with the updates. Here with
This week Apple has launched into the desktop world with what was assumed to be OS X 10, but was revealed to switch gears with the name “OS X Mavericks”. This desktop operating system will be bringing on Finder Tabs, Tags, and Multiple Display functionality to the desktop world. Each of these elements will be
Apple has a long and rich history with their popular Desktop OS. OS X has been a staple in the computing world for a long, long time. Today they’ve just announced Sea Lion? All jokes aside, since they’ve ran out of Big Cat names to follow up Mountain Lion, Leopard and more, they’ve moved on
Cupertino has been known to share a stat or two during its WWDC keynotes, so it’s hardly a surprise that the company just dropped some sales figures for its Mountain Lion. According to Tim Cook, 28 million copies of the OS have shipped, making it the best-selling Mac release of all time. Cook also said that about 35 percent of users have updated, compared to less than five percent for Windows 8. And Apple wasn’t just talking Mountain Lion to brag; those numbers were part of a build-up to announcing the latest desktop-based software: OS X Mavericks. Hit up that link for more info.
Developer conferences have taken a turn in recent years, becoming as much an opportunity for companies to interact with the dev community as a platform for launching hardware outside larger all-industry shows. This year’s WWDC, however, has been all about the software thus far. Apple has, as anticipated, given the world its first glimpse of its latest desktop operating system. The Mountain Lion followup shifts away from the big cat naming, to a California-themed release: Mavericks, paying homage to the giant wave surfing spot.
The first new feature is finder tabs: a browser-like system based in windows. Just add a tab by clicking plus in a window. You can also finally take the Finder full-screen. Also new, tagging. You can tag files based on location and other details, making them much searchable. There’s a tagging sidebar that’ll let you view them all in one handy place. Multiple Displays got a big cheer as well, letting you view menus across screens, viewing different apps in full screen mode on each display. You can independently pan on displays as well, and AirPlay connected HDTVs work a full, connected display. Apple showed off the new functionality to big cheers in the developer-packed room.

Just as Apple teased last year at this same annual event, a covered banner has been hung – floating above the crowds at WWDC 2013 waiting to get in to the week’s first major keynote. This banner is the same size as those already unveiled on the first level of the Moscone Center where the
It’s that time again. Apple’s annual Worldwide Developer Conference is set to kick off with a keynote at 10 a.m. PST this morning. We’ll be there to share the exciting news and updates as it unfolds live.
