Tuesday is upon us: new Apple hardware

Mar 3rd 2009 9:51AM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

The Apple TV is 802.11n...

Reported Seagate drive failures may affect Mac laptops

Nov 8th 2007 4:55AM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

We've had about 15 fail in our office (we've probably got about 100 MacBook's or so, not that that's indicative of a percentage because we probably buy 10 MacBook's a month).

Tried to get data recovered on a couple and couldn't.

O2 store down, iPhone launch imminent

Apple Store UK is down now too.

OS X 10.4.10 update causing widespread wifi problems?

Jul 24th 2007 8:33AM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

In our Agency it seems that any 802.11n (enabled or otherwise) Atheros chipset gets kernel panics on 10.4.10. Haven't had it with any PPC or the original x86 Mac's.

Some people seemed to think it had something to do with only having AES enabled on your WiFi AP, we've got both AES and TKIP enabled on our Cisco 4400 Controller and seen no difference, mine was also doing it at home on Apple AP's.

I Archive+Installed back down to 10.4.9.

Rumor: iPhones in the UK

Jul 10th 2007 11:34AM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

The London Times listed this last week, and O2 soon after said that they hadn't been in talks. Shame that people don't follow the news in other countries as much as other countries follow their news.

MacBook Pros feature a 1.3MP camera sensor

Jun 27th 2007 3:12PM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

I noticed on mine that the camera physically looked a little different to my previous Core 2 Duo model.

Thanks to those that provided the link, does frustrate me when tuaw doesn't.

Digital Television, Part I: Making Sense of it all

Hang on... Let me get this right? You're *just* getting digital? What? Thought you guys were the most powerful nation in the world.

Sheesh.

Apple's new ad isn't so subtle, and Intel isn't too pleased

Jan 12th 2006 9:11AM on Engadget

Have you actually seen the video or the ad (tip - you need to see both). You can't re-record someone's shoot. Maybe the production company that made the ad owns the copyright and apple used them too. Maybe they didn't and whoever the copyright owner of the music video is will be pissed off with apple?

BTW, I work in advertising so know a thing or two about it (albeit in the UK).

Apple's new ad isn't so subtle, and Intel isn't too pleased

Jan 12th 2006 8:01AM on Engadget

There's an article on Wired (cult of mac section) about the video's similarities with The Postal Service video (even using the same actors and same shots). No news yet but guessing it's licensed.

Might even be that The Postal Service will do a U2 and play at the next music event (probably when a proper iPod video is released, along with a more video centric iTunes, new app maybe, movie downloads and probably a new Intel Mac Mini with iPod dock as previously rumoured).

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I want a 13-incher. I need something with a great keyboard for typing, as this will mostly be used for note taking in class. I am absolutely smitten with the XPS 13, but I'm afraid that with its age Dell is going to give it an update soon. Any advice for someone in my shoes?"
