The notion of wearable computers is not something new and has been around for quite some years. But when Google actually unveiled its own Google glasses prototypes, the world was quite amazed. Without a doubt, wearable computers can be the next big thing in the tech world. Does this mean Apple is also eager to jump this bandwagon?
Apple is known for incorporating superior security measures in its devices and systems. The company has always focused on the integrated security of the iOS devices, Mac computers, and networking hardware. The company has now purchased mobile and network security company AuthenTec Inc for about $356 million in cash.
With the wild popularity and significance of online social networks, it is becoming increasingly important for tech giants to be either a part of the whole social experience or risk becoming irrelevant. Apple may indeed enjoy the top position in the smartphone as well as the tablet market but the company is still absent from the world of social networks. Is it about time that Apple entered it?
Apple reported its quarterly results few days ago and much to the shock of analysts, they were lower than was expected at Wall Street. One of the main reasons why this happened was the rather slow growth of iPhone sales. With iPhone 5 rumors in the air, a lot of users held back their cash and are now waiting for its release. And that may, in turn, force Apple to change its decision.
Apple’s quarterly statistics are finally in. And, after a long haul of beating analyst expectations and blowing away all estimates, for the first time in last couple of years, Apple has not been able to live up to investor expectations. The gross revenue of the company has dropped significantly; lower than expected.
Apple has declared that Mac OS X 10.8 (code name Mountain Lion) will be available from tomorrow at Mac App Store. It will cost $19.99 as declared before. If you have bought a Mac recently, don’t worry, because the company has already mentioned all Mac sold after June 11 will get Mountain Lion free.. Check your Mac whether it is eligible or not for the upgrade.
Apple has been trying hard to reconcile its mobile OS, iOS with its desktop-based Mac OS. It has slowly integrated a number of popular features from iOS into OS X. For instance, in OS X Mountain Lion, the iCal feature has been replaced with Calendar and Reminders apps, which are two separate apps, quite like they are in iOS.
May be some thing wrong is happening with Apple’s services. Just a day ago we read about the App Store outage. And now, there are reports that people from all over are facing problems to get into Apple’s iMessage service.
