Hello Cleveland! Or, you know, wherever you are. Are you ready to rock? No? Oh, well, maybe just a little jam session, then? Apogee Electronics (no, not the company that brought you all those Duke Nukem releases back in the day) has announced the new …

We’re not saying Apple ripped off its dandy new Smart Case design from a Japanese bathtub case—there are plenty of other things in the the world that are blue and fold. But if you happen to have …

Every year, Fortune magazine (where I started out as a reporter) comes out with its list of the Most Admired Companies in the world. In truth, it doesn’t really change much from year to year. Apple, once again for the fourth year in a row, is No. 1, as it should be. The company single-handedly created an entirely new class of touch computing with the iPad last year, and is on it’s way to becoming the most valuable company in the world.

Google is No. 2 (although, confusingly, it’s overall score of 8.22 is higher than Apple’s 8.16—it turns out that those are their industry scores not their separate Top 50 scores, a spokesperson explains, even though they are labeled “overall scores”). And Amazon comes in at No. 7. Microsoft hangs on at No. 9. So four of the top 10 companies are from the technology industry. And IBM is No. 12. After that, the list becomes a mixed bag, and even a little questionable. Cisco, Intel, Netflix, eBay, Sony, and Oracle also made the list. Netflix totally deserves to be there and maybe Cisco, but the others just seem to grandfathered in. Where’s Yahoo?

AT&T had kept quiet up until now about whether it would support the hotspot goodness that comes with iOS 4.3. With yesterday’s official Apple announcement, though, the carrier has made its plans official: AT&T iPhone 4 owners can enable …

By now you’ve seen Apple’s Smart Cover, right? The mind blowing cover (don’t call it a case) pretty much stole the show during yesterday’s iPad 2 press event, causing children to weep at the sight of our exploded bodies. Thing is, we’ve seen the desig…

Come March 11th, iPad 2s can be picked up from Apple, AT&T, Verizon and Best Buy. Not to mention Sam’s Club and Walmart, judging by the fact the SKUs have been added to their systems according to 9to5Mac. [9to5Mac] More »

You might not yet be aware of this, but Apple’s policy towards web browsers is to treat the entire internet as their content. As a result, all browsers on the iOS App Store come with a minimum age requirement of 17 and the same rule will apply to them…

Well, the speculation was right on the mark: Random House, the world’s largest English-language publishing house, has joined the iBookstore. More »

Did you hear!? There’s a new iPad. It’s called the iPad 2. Clever, right?

It packs a faster CPU, more powerful graphics engine, a fancy magnetic cover, thinner casing, herp, derp and more. It’s a fair upgrade from the original although it’s erroneous to call it revolutionary; evolutionary is more like it. In fact, there is still a fair amount of major features missing from the platform. Some of them are big enough to be dealbreakers, too.

Missed Steve Jobs’ surprise reappearance to unveil the iPad 2 this morning — or perhaps, are you an Apple fan who just can’t get enough? Well, it just so happens that Apple taped its latest magic show for you to watch at your leisure. Find it at our …
