June 12, 2013 by Greg Gazin · Leave a Comment

The Apple 2013 Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco kicked off with its traditional keynote lead by CEO Tim Cook. As expected, there were a number of announcements with respect to new hardware, updates to the Mac OS and iOS, which were not only designed to enhance the user experience but also a next step in bringing their desktop and mobile operating systems that much closer. Notably absent was any mention of refreshes to the iPhone, iPad or iPad mini, or the illusive iWatch, the last of which I was totally not surprised.

Apple WWDC 2013 to be streamed live

June 10, 2013 by Greg Gazin · Leave a Comment

wwdc13 2013 If you like to watch things as it happens, especially all things Apple, you’ll be happy to know that the opening keynote for Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2013 will be streamed live today, Monday June 10, beginning at 10:00AM PDT, 1:00PM EDT, at Apple.com, so you won’t have to guess what’s going to happen.

What’s coming is still a secret as it always is with Apple, but with Apple’s stock price at time of writing up over 1%, about $5 per share, the market is expecting Apple to show us that they are still the great innovators that differentiates them from the rest of the pack.

We may also see the release or announcement of a low cost iPhone, since with the recent court ruling they may have challenges selling the iPhone 4 (and iPad 2) in the U.S. Rumours are also afloat about Apple’s MacBooks being upgraded with the latest Haswellchips that consume much less power than their predecessors.

Danny McPhail co-founder demos at West Edmonton Mall

Water may be the elixir of life, the food that fuels our planet, but exposure to a few drops in the wrong place, can also wreak havoc on iPhones and other mobile electronic devices. To protect them, we use covers, cases and pouches and most of them do the job they’re designed to do. But now, there is a product that’s invisible to the naked eye that can keep those electrons from fizzling out.

When it comes to Wi-Fi, we want to grab as much bandwidth as we can get. But with highly intensive activities such as simultaneous HD video streaming, we seem to push transmission limits to the edge. With the latest Wi-Fi standard 802.11ac using advanced modulation techniques and compacting more data into the digital bitstream we can now leave 802.11n in the dust, reaching throughputs of up to 1.3 Gbps, up to three times faster than 802.11n.
