The latest revision of the MacBook Pro is largely unchanged to the naked eye from the previous models. The big changes are CPU and the addition of the Thuderbolt interface along with the shift to the AMD Radeon HD 6750M GPU and Intel’s integrated HD Graphics 3000. Even the Thuderbolt interface is integrated into the mini display port further hiding the updated identity of the newest model. [click to continue…]

It just demolished the prior model’s record pre-orders. Rumors of a the iPhone 4S “only” packing 512MB RAM won’t open the door for Windows Phone to steal any market share. Most consumers don’t even understand what that means. The rest won’t care.

J.D. Power, you’ve heard of them, right? The folks who hand out trophies for auto makers? Well, as it turns out, they also do research about customer satisfaction regarding mobile phones as well (lucky us). The phone makers who got the top marks should not surprise you, but the companies near the bottom of the list might. I’ve included both charts (if you’re a true geek, you will actually read them and stay awake), as well as the full text of J.D. Power’s Press Release.

In Jobs’ own words:
To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
Steve
The Apple board followed Jobs’ requests and recommendations, naming him as Chairman of the Board and appointing Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
While Apple’s stock is expected to take a bit of a nose dive on this news tomorrow, I suspect that upcoming iPhone and iPad announcements will bring a rebound as investor confidence builds on strong sales for Apple in the upcoming holiday season.

News Flash! Skype for iPad is now in the App Store, and it’s free. iPad users had to settle for the iphone/ipod version, which did not make good use of the larger iPad screen, and one could not instant message during a video call. Of course, you will not be able to send video with the 1st generation iPad, due to the lack of front facing camera. You can see the party that is calling you though. But you knew that already.
Have you tried it? How do you like it?

It looks like your next-generation iPad or iPhone could come with a transparent display. That is, if the tech disclosed in Apple’s latest patent application turns out to be magical enough.
In a USPTO patent application filed in January of this year, Apple discloses its plans to develop a handheld tablet or mobile phone “that includes a display screen having a viewing area with a transparent portion enabling a user to view objects behind the electronic device by looking at the display screen.” [click to continue…]
