While announcing the revenue for Apple’s fourth quarter, which totalled $28 billion, bringing the company’s total revenue for 2011 fiscal year to over $108 billion, MacRumors committed a huge error, one that is fail-status worthy.
Check it out for yourself:
Of course it was fixed now. But when it’s online, it’s for everyone to see, right? Maybe next time they won’t be careless enough to have a “blah blah blah” ready draft for anything Apple.
One of the killer features of the iPhone 4S set to be released on Friday is Apple’s voice recognition assistant: Siri.
No one has seen Siri and wasn’t blown away by how futuristic it is. And for those purposes, Macworld prepared an 11 minute video showing the feature:

And in case you’re wondering, no, Siri will not send out marriage proposals:
The world lost one of its few visionaries a few hours ago.
Today, we bid farewell to Steve Jobs, the man who single handedly moved the technological world into the future with his inventions: iPhone, iPod, iPad, Macbook…
Steven Spielberg has called Steve Jobs the “Thomas Edison of our times” and deservedly so. It’s very easy to imagine a world that didn’t have Steve Jobs – one where we’d all still be using phones with keypads that only serve their basic function, where our notebooks constantly crashed, where we didn’t feel inspired by a company to advance in our lives and where we were content with what we had.
It’s very easy to criticize Apple. But it’s also very easy to look at what Steve Jobs did for Apple and the world and be amazed by how talented this man was and how great his achievements are.
Today we bid farewell to Steve Jobs. But the chapter in our history and present that Steve Jobs has opened will not close anytime soon. It will live on – just like the legacy of this man. It will never die.
Steve Jobs has been through the hardships of life. He was born for an out of wedlock couple, in a time where such a thing was frowned upon. He was put up for adoption. He dropped out of college. And yet, for someone who has been through so much, he sure left his mark in the world.
RIP Steve Jobs. The world will miss you. Thank you for being the great man that you are. Thank you for changing the world.
Following leaks, reports, guesses, approximations and the like, Apple has finally set the date for its unveiling of the new iPhone, call it iPhone 4S or iPhone 5.
Mark the calendar to October 4th, which happens to be next Tuesday, at 10:00 am Pacific, which converts to about 8 pm in Beirut.
Invitations to the event were sent under the title “Let’s Talk iPhone” and had the following format:
Who’s excited?
Steve Jobs has just submitted his resignation as head of the world’s most lucrative company, Apple.
To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
Steve
For any Apple-fan, this is a sad day indeed. Steve Jobs has been responsible for making Apple what it is today: one of the world’s leading companies with its introduction of the iPod, iPhone, iPad, iTunes, OS X, Macbook, etc…
Steve Jobs will remain as chairman on the Apple board.
