Apple’s Dirty, Dirty Cloud
18 Apr 2012 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Earlier this year Apple opened the doors to their manufacturing plant, Foxconn, to the public for the first time. It wasn’t pretty. Now, they’re being dragged into the spotlight again by none other than Greenpeace. Apparently their amazing iCloud isn’t all that amazing for the environment.

I give credit when credit is due, and this you have to hear. You see just last weekend I was chilling with The Muse at the Mount Nelson pool (anyone can chill there, as long as you use the Labrisa Spa first – locals get a 25% discount) and we were enjoying some scones and […]

29 Feb 2012 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Apple’s iOS has been under fire for allowing third-party apps to access users’ location data and contacts without permission – and now it looks like photos and videos have been compromised too.

Apple’s Invite To 7 March Event – Reveals Retina Display For iPad 3
29 Feb 2012 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Okay kids. It’s here. Official, straight from the horse’s mouth. I normally adopt the policy that any news regarding an Apple product should come from Apple themselves, and it doesn’t come clearer than this – the invitation to the “special event” next week. Apple is also known for giving away clues in their invitations – hit continue to see what we think this one is hinting at.

iPad Survives 30km Drop From Space [VIDEO]
10 Jan 2012 by Jasmine Stone / 8 Comments
It’s nice that companies are willing to go to insane lengths to try and make us buy their things. Take G-Form, who wrapped up an Apple tablet in their ‘Extreme Edge’ case, and launched it into space on a weather balloon before dropping it back to earth to prove how extreme their case really is.

Upcoming Apple Event To Revamp iBooks
03 Jan 2012 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Apple is holding a product event later this month in New York – and since the Christmas buy-a-palooza is just past, it’s looking unlikely that they’re going to be announcing any new hardware just yet. Instead, Apple seems set to refurbish iBooks, their eBook retail platform, with a couple of new publishing options.

RIM Now Worth Less Than Apple’s App Store Alone
20 Dec 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It’s no secret that Blackberry’s stock has been falling. The company that once dominated the world of business smartphones has been heavily hit by the likes of Apple and Android, causing it to market itself to the masses with cheaper handsets. This move has done little to help the company’s falling stock, with the entire company now valued at less than Apple’s App Store alone.

i-Phone 4S’ “Find My Friends” App Claims Its First Marriage
18 Oct 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
It seems Apple’s new iOS5 operating system for the iPhone 4S has a new surprise around every corner. The App in question uses GPS, and if your friend agrees, it allows you to see their location, give or take a few metres. Unfortunately, one poor guy on Macrumours.com found another use for it, after installing it in his wife’s new handset.

Hands-On Video For Siri On The iPhone 4S
12 Oct 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Apple’s Siri, the fancy voice-activated feature that was supposed to make people feel less disappointed about not getting a shiny new iPhone 5, was actually pretty cool when Phil Schiller showed it off on stage. But how well does it do in real life? See the hands-on after the jump.

Oh Hey, Google’s Buying Motorola
15 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
And for the first time in years I actually have a reason to want a Motorola. Google today agreed to acquire the handset division of Motorola, Motorola Mobility, for $12.5 billion (around 90 billion ZAR). It’s always nice to have money lying around for these little impulse buys.

Chinese factories making iPads and iPhones are forcing staff to sign pledges not to commit suicide. If your first reaction to this story’s headline is one of confusion, then join the club.

iPad 2 To Be Unveiled On March 2
24 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
This is good news, because I don’t think Apple is likely to issue us such a momentous tease without something substantial in the works. The original iPad went on sale on 3 April 2010, suggesting that the timing of the 2 March event would work with the annual cycle of launching the newer version of the product.

I Lost My iPad – Oh Dear God
27 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 6 Comments
I went to bed the other night and suddenly realised that I hadn’t seen my iPad for a couple of days. It wasn’t in the Safe House, so I got out of bed, went to the garage and searched my car and my Vespa – nothing! It gradually dawned on me that I might not have seen my iPad since the Tuesday of that same week – on a flight from Johannesburg to Cape Town (a Kulula flight, no less). Oh my good Lord, what had I done?

iPAD: GREAT FOR THE SUMO’S FULL-FIGURE-FINGERS
26 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Sumos…Big hands = big slaps Anyone who knows a thing or two about the intricacies and nuances of life as a Sumo Wrestler (pfft, who doesn’t?) will understand that the Sumo is a creature bred for power, weight, and a surprising degree of flexibility. But they’re definitely not bred for texting, or email, or any […]

Sydney Restaurant, Mundo Global Tapas, may have a silly sounding name, but they are rocking the their technological potential as an eatery. Picture this: You walk into a restaurant, and instead of being handed the usual crusty leather-bound tome of a menu fitted with pseudo-brass corners, you’re handed an iPad. You think, “Cool! A pre-drinks […]

iPad dummies are available for $49, no word of lies. Yep, that’s 100% genuine fake replica right there.

I’ll be honest, I’m settling into the iPad quite nicely and starting to incorporate it into everyday life. I genuinely find typing on it (in portrait) an absolutely pleasure, typing at virtually the same speed as I do on a normal keyboard.
