Steve Jobs never really liked the idea of a touchscreen iMac, because he felt that vertical displays just don’t offer a comfortable touchscreen experience. And so it’s unlikely we’ll see a desktop – or even a notebook for that matter – with a touchscreen from Apple for some time. But for just $200 (approx. £130), you can purchase an accessory that adds a touchscreen to your existing iMac in just 10 seconds.
Apple has now fixed an App Store bug which caused some recently updated iOS and Mac apps to crash immediately after launch. The glitch, which was highlighted by Instapaper creator Marco Arment after customers deluged him with emails and tweets, was apparently related to DRM code produced by one of Apple’s servers.
Inside almost all of Apple’s electronic devices, the Cupertino company places tiny little stickers that change color when they become moist. It does this so that when you drop your iPhone into a pint of water, you can’t wait for it to dry out and then tell Apple’s Genius Bar it stopped working all by itself.
An apparent fault with Apple’s App Store is causing a large number of recently updated iOS and Mac apps to crash immediately after launch.

We’ve been speculating about Apple’s “iPad mini” for as long as I can remember, but if the latest reports are to be believed, it appears that the tiny tablet is well on its way to becoming a reality.

In 1995, Bob Cringley conducted an hour-long interview with Steve Jobs for a TV series called Triumph of the Nerds, but only a small part of the interview was used in the show. The rest of the footage was presumed lost until last year, when it was rediscovered and shown in a number of theatres. Today, Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview has been released as a $3.99 rental on the US iTunes Store.
