On the 1 year birthday of the iPhone, we thought a trip down memory lane was in order.
Remember all the craziness surrounding the iPhone’s initial launch? Big crowds, professional line-sitters, street magicians pretending their iPhone had X-Ray abilities? Well, for me what sticks out as the craziest moment of the launch was when FOX NEWS […]
Behold the terrible beauty of what happens when a NeXTCube’s magnesium case is set afire.
Back in the Spring of ‘93, Simson L. Garfinkel, then Senior Editor at NeXTWORLD Magazine, had the bright idea to test whether the NeXTCube’s legendary magnesium casing would burn with a white hot flame – leaving nothing but […]
Many of you may be too young to remember, but believe it or not, before there was iTunes, people used to actually go to a store and rent physical movies.

No, seriously, where is he? This isn’t one of those “We’ve tracked down Brian – let’s see what he’s up to” kind of articles. I’d like it to be, but I just can’t find any trace of him at all.
Above: “DUDE! You’re getting a Mac!”
Who is Brian Durkin, you ask? Well, way back […]
Wow. It looks like Apple’s ergonomics web page predates the internet. Is that an Apple II that 1st guy is using? No wonder he’s suffering from “lightning bolt neck”.

I was going through my dad’s sock drawer this morning, like I do every Friday, and I came across this old Playboy from February of 1985 featuring an interview with an about-to-be-ousted-from-Apple Steve Jobs.
Apparently at the ripe age of 29 Steve was the world’s first Zillionaire - no small feat, given that […]

Sure, Steve’s had his share of keynote bloopers, but for some reason I find it endlessly more fascinating to watch Bill Gates squirm during this classic piece of tape during the CES debut of Windows Media Center. He looks like a little boy in that giant chair, fresh from being removed from a […]
Tim Cook announced earlier this month that Apple had surpassed Dell as the number one supplier of portables to US higher education for 2007. That’s all well and good, but even at number 1, estimates suggest Apple has only a 31% share of the education market. Compare that with the 60% the Apple II enjoyed, […]
