Apple was founded in 1976 bySteve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. The company had a rocky start, but soon found their place in the PC world. Jobs was forced out of Apple, but came back after creating the NeXT OS. It was incorporated into today’s Mac OS software. Jobs also introduced iTunes, theiPod, theiPhoneandiPad. Steve Jobs is considered one of the most prolific speakers today.

This week, I go into a good rant on Rumor articles taking up 40% of Google News this week. Unfortuneately, the dogs started barking during mid rant. I picked up where I left off and spliced it together. Enjoy the show! Final stages to the new server are complete. A couple erradic items. Dorkazine is […]
As the market for smartphones heats up, so too are the phone patent wars. I suspect that, in the long run, the only outfits that really benefit from this will be the law firms, but it should be fun to watch. Nokia and Apple are busy suing each other. Nokia sued Apple in October and […]
Jeffrey posted his prediction that the tablet computer hoopla will turn out to be just that–hoopla–last week. As I mentioned in a comment to his post, tablets have been around for a long time in various forms. So why don’t we see more persons using them? I do not think it’s because the market is […]
They have been negotiating for a couple of years over licenses based on Nokia’s claim that Apple has appropriated Nokia technology for the iPhone. Now it looks as if negotiations are either breaking down or being taken to a higher level. First, Nokia sued Apple. Now Apple is suing Nokia. The Guardian reports: I predict […]
I thought it would be a cool idea to do the 5 Tech things outside. After all, there was 17 inches of snow and 5 degrees – not to mention the studio is being re-done. Unfortunately, the mic battery was going and all I g– wa- stat-c for 15 minutes. Therefore, I pulled what I […]
Apple has pulled over 1,000 apps by an outfit called Molinker from its App Store. There are suspicions that the developer is reponsible for the highly favorable reviews they have received. You can read more here. This whole Apps Store phenomenon fascinates me. Many talk as if Apple invented smartphone apps. They didn’t. When I […]

It got windy this week. We got a new contest at Podcastmadness.com and the Podcast Awards start Oct. 4. I’m moving stuff from the storage locker. Finally, I’m not happy when I tried to cancel a program – I’ll tell you why. I’ll also tell you about the video capture program that isn’t suppose to […]
OK, so I was looking at my numbers just after midnight CST and found out that Geekazine has pushed 998 articles in the last 2 years. That makes this one 999, with the next being 1000. It’s a great milestone that just happened to do so on 9-9-09. And technically there are some still in […]
Happy 9-09-09 – Thank Goodness for the Apple Event, right? What a long, fun weekend I had. State of the Local Podcast group – Possible new podcast relationship – Didn’t get hit with WordPress Hackers, but had an interesting Facebook conversation with Andru Edwards – first month of Day in Tech History Librivox and Audiobooks […]
The big news from the Apple Orchard today is Apple’s claim that it did not reject Google Voice from the iPhone Apps Store. It’s a leading tech story at Bloomberg, the New York Times, Reuters, and the Guardian. If you are interested in the the iPhone-Google Voice brou-ha-ha, you might get a kick out of […]
Bloomberg reports that a Colorado photographer, Louis Psihoyos, has sued Apple, claiming that an image used in the iPhone app marketed by i.TV, is his property. He claims, according to the report, that and seeks more that $2,000,000.00 in damages. My question is, “Why didn’t he sue i.TV?”

This morning, Jeffrey wrote an excellent post on the iPhone and Apple. I have to confess that I don’t always read his posts, mostly because I never miss his podcast and there’s often overlap between what he writes about and what he says, but I read this one all the way through, then went back […]
Brought to you by Gotoassist Express – Get a 30 day free trial of this great software. For the last year and a half, the Quickcast has been running a podcast every Monday reviewing the past history of Technology. The show has been a fun one, but for the last couple months I felt it […]
Brought to you by GotoAssist Express – Get a free 30 day trial It was something that people talked about for months, but on August 6, 2008, CEO Jeff Bewkes confirms the rumor. AOL will be split off into it’s own company by the next year (which came to fruition on May 28th, 2009) Other […]
(Disclaimer: As Rob Rosenberger reminds us, this is the time of year for computer security hysteria in the media, so media reports must be taken with several pounds of salt. Both the Black Hat and DEFCON conferences are going on.) Reuters reports that a security researcher demonstrated a serious vulnerability in Mac computers. This one […]
I might be shooting myself in the foot, but you know, I am not a big fan of the Rumor mill. Especially when it comes to Apple products. In the last 6 months, we have seen and heard about products that don’t materialize. The Apple Mini iPhone and Netbooks come to mind. While I DO […]
The Guardian reports that the Financial Times (subscription required) reports that Apple is working on a tablet computer. The story is here. And here is a report from AppleInsider. I remember once, when I was going from Philadelphia to Washington, DC, on the choo-choo, sitting next to a guy who had an tablet computer–I think […]
The Guardian reports that a number of users of the new iPhone 3G are reporting that it seems to get unusually hot. The story is here. These are so far anecdotal reports; no testing lab has weighed in on the story yet, so far as I can find out. If I had an iPhone, I […]
You might remember the products. You might remember the hype. Then, you are tooling down highway 41 years later and all of a sudden you think to yourself – “Hey, whatever happened to…” Failed ideas. Maybe it was a great idea, but wasn’t made right, or design errors brought it down. Maybe it was just […]
