That Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who died today, Oct. 5, 2011, was a visionary on a large scale is undisputed, but it's the small-scale personal ways in which he has affected all of our lives that really resonate. And not just by making our lives more convenient with his products, but by inspiring us to live better with his own life.
Apple is unveiling the new iPhone4S, and the Internet is freaking out. Personally I could care less, given my masochistic love of the BlackBerry (three in two years, baby) and the fact that I'm allergic to touchscreens. But the Find My Friends app seems intriguing, at least from a dating perspective.
As a part of MTV's Staying Alive campaign, the network has launched iCondom, an app through which users can locate the nearest store that sells rubbers through a GPS navigator.
Nothing kills romance like bad breath, but if Tic Tacs aren't your thing, consider chomping down an apple before leaning in for a kiss. At least that's what researchers in South Korea suggest, in reference to a pocket-sized "Kiss Apple" developed to combat halitosis.
Here are 10 of the best Beatles’ love, or having to do with love, songs that we can’t wait to download to our iPods.
Apple's Steve Jobs said (paraphrasing!) to get an Android if you want to watch porn rather than his iPhone. And now he's taking sexting on headfirst. Apple has a product coming out of 2008 patent that will allow users (and parents!) to filter objectionable text message content. Will this really change anything for anyone? Could this have stopped Brett Favre?
Apple's newest endeavor is Ping: a social network for iTunes. Jobs himself described it as, "Facebook and Twitter meets iTunes ... but it's not Facebook, it's not Twitter. It's a social network all about music." Users will have the chance to create a Ping page where it lists the music they listen to and love, giving them the opportunity to follow the music tastes of their friends and the artists themselves.
As you've probably already heard,the long-awaited iPhone 4 is here, and the internet is abuzz with how Apple's latest gadget will change everything. Although they probably meant "everything gadget-related," we think that the new phone could do a thing or two to relationships as well. Here are our predictions of how the iPhone 4G will change the relationships of its owners.
Apple recently banned 5,000 i-Phone apps deemed inappropriate. Among them? Online retailers selling bathing suits and a silly app called Wobble i-Boobs.
As you likely know, Apple Inc. recently put out what will surely be the greatest product of all time: the unfortunately named iPad. And the jokes abounded. Obviously, a fantastic thing could overcome a terrible name but, like Howard Dean's 2004 screech, it digs a hole almost too difficult to crawl out of. Magazines, hotels and taco chains are on notice.
