Describing the iPad version of Safari as “a miserable experience”, yet conceding that it remains the best option for tablet-based browsing, Firefox-creator Mozilla has unveiled ‘Junior’ – a prototype web browser developed specifically for Apple’s tablet device.
A rare working Apple 1 computer and a report written by Steve Jobs went under the hammer at Sotheby’s New York yesterday. The vintage computer, one of only six known functioning examples, sold for $374,500 (£240,929) – more than double the price estimated by the auction house.
During its WWDC keynote earlier this week, Apple refreshed its entire notebook lineup. Both the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro got new processors, more RAM, and more storage options, and an entirely new MacBook Pro with a slimmer form factor and a Retina display was introduced.
Let’s face it, it was always going to be unlikely that we’d see bad reviews for Apple’s latest MacBook Pro. Sure, it doesn’t have an optical drive or a FireWire port, but it does boast a stunning Retina display and a super slim form factor which help make it Apple’s best MacBook yet. Here’s what the early reviews are saying:
Apple has released Java updates for OS X Lion and OS X Snow Leopard which offer enhanced security and reliability by updating Java SE 6 to version 1.6.0_33.

Having unveiled the new MacBook pro with Retina display at Monday’s WWDC Keynote, Apple has now started airing a TV advert for it. Titled “Every Dimension”, the commercial features Aperture, Mail, and Final Cut Pro X – three of the apps that have been optimized for the notebook’s high-resolution screen.
During the WWDC keynote yesterday, Apple showed off some of the major changes coming to the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in iOS 6. They include a new Maps app; improvements to Mail, Phone, and Notification Center, and more. But there are lots of awesome features Apple didn’t mention. Here are some of them:
Apple’s 2012 ‘Back to School’ promotion started yesterday, giving students and academic staff the opportunity to claim either a free £70 ($100) gift card with the purchase a new Mac, or a £35 ($50) gift card with the purchase of a new iPad.
