Update: The store is back, and here's what you can buy.

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Oct 20th 2009 No Comments

Apple may be riding high on another successful financial quarter, but we still wouldn’t put it past them to announce a few new products this week in order to stick a spoke in the wheels of Windows 7’s launch. According to man-in-the-know John Gruber, it’s not a product trickle but a flood we should be expecting, with both new notebooks and desktops together with multitouch-compatible peripherals on the cards.

By Shane McGlaun on Friday, Oct 16th 2009 4 Comments

Love or hate Apple, we can all agree that the company has been at the forefront of design for computers for a long time. Back before every computer marker around was producing all-in-one machines; Apple had its line of iMac computers. There were rumors going around that the new line of iMac computers would have Blu-ray players. In a case of a rumor spawned by a rumor, we hear today that Blu-ray was pulled from the new iMac line shortly before the machines went into production last month.

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Sep 29th 2009 2 Comments

apple store down1 You guessed it, it’s a Tuesday and the Apple Store has been taken down for the usual hurried batch of updating. No word on what we might be seeing added today, but considering the past few weeks have hummed with talk of new iMac desktops and new MacBook entry-level notebooks there could be a pleasant surprise if you’re in the market for a new OS X machine.

Update: The store is back online (only the US site went down) and there are no changes we can see aside from to the cart system itself. Looks like this was just maintenance downtime, and we’ll have to wait a little longer for new iMacs and MacBooks.
