When it comes to TV, Apple is starting to recede into the dark corners of my mind. Its relevance -- and even potential relevance -- is waning. A fancypants Apple-made big-screen HDTV device that seems to float in the air and function like a delightful work of art... .

I was pleased last year when Apple finally took a proactive stance and reached out to 28 million App Store customers who might have been bamboozled by shady in-app purchases in games designed to take advantage of children. However, even that action had dubious beginnings stemming from a class action lawsuit that Apple settled this summer Most recen...
Forget second-screen TV viewing with a tablet or smartphone -- so-called second screens are a kludgy, old-school method of extending a show. What's new? SeeSpace InAiR: The World's 1st Augmented Television. ...
Rumors of a super-duper, amped-up, big-screen "iPad Pro" have been floating around at least as early as this summer, and that's before Apple surprised the tech community with its 64-bit A7 processors in September Overall, most of the rumors seem to surround speculative predictions, where a financial analyst predicts a class of new product in an att...
In my mind, 2014 is shaping up to be Apple's wildest year in the post-Jobs era Last year, we saw a lot of incremental innovations from Apple but no thunderous new products. Sure, the new Mac Pro is insanely small, quiet and super sexy -- not to mention manufactured in America, which is no small feat these days -- but it's also a niche product for p...

Let's put this simply: If you want to stream free, professional videos online, Clicker makes finding the video easier than most other solutions I've seen.

Search engine giants Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft all announced on their respective official search engine blogs that they would begin utilizing a new so-called canonical tag that will help their search engines cut through the clutter of the Web. More specifically, the announcements are a signal to webmasters to start using the specialized tag to help the big search engines do a better job of indexing Web sites that have duplicate URLs (uniform resource locators) that all point to the same content.
What happens when Apple and Palm representatives vaguely mention the ability to use and defend their patents, and then one anonymous source from Google vaguely states that Apple asked Google to not implement a certain technology in a recently release product? You get a whole lot of blog headlines keying off of a single publication's unnamed source....
