Well… As you probably know, I am ahold of the newer gadgets of Apple and
so it’s only guessable that the new iPad Pro is now at my hands, too. While

Long time I doubted that I’ll ever use a Mac beside my Windows

Funny to see… Apple just has released it’s iPhone 5S in a new flavour,
namely White-Gold (which looks good btw… I must admit!), and just
now, Samsung sees itself in a position to “fight” back and brings out

So Apple finally revealed what most of us have expected. The 5S once
more underlines the minimalistic, yet appealing way of style. While
the iPhone 5 came in two colors, the 5S now has a third, golden case.
For sure not everybody’s taste but hey, looks great anyways.

One may ask: Apple, quo vadis? Since Apple is harshly struggling with
the actual market’s demands and still barely holding the line (as the
stock share price of 436 US$ shows), Apple is now targeted by the IRS
for hiding billions of taxes from the U.S. government.

While the gadgets from Apple still sell like fresh-made bread, it seems as if

value reached a new 2-year-low with “only” 389 US$ per share. Is this a
new trend of Apple? According to the plans to release another iPhone…

now there’s another security flaw which allows access to the iPhone and

New patents may point to an idea of Apple to create an iWatch. But what exactly
could this gadget do? Will it be an iPhone reduced to the size of a watch or will
the iWatch only a smaller edition of an iPod? As integrated circuits allow smaller

When it comes to Nokia, most of us think of the glorious times, Nokia had
once in the mid to late 90’s with their legendary phones 6110, 6210, 6310
and initially with the communicator series. Also other phones of Nokia were
innovative. With the iPhone release in 2007, the fall of Nokia has begun.

After 14 months it seems as if the small family cafe in Bonn, Germany finally

It seems as if Apple has an internal problem with the Spell checking routine that
is serving many programs in OS X to use the correct words. However a simple
string may crash exactly this routine as the string ends up in a procedure that is
not supported properly and thus crashing every application using Spell checking.

The fate of Apple being big, is better to se than ever before. While Apple has

The iPhone 5 was not the big hope Apple has seen it initally. Sales of the
next-Gen iPhone are rather mediocre. And this has already been reflected
by the Apple stock shares as they have lost about 20% of their highest value.
Apple has to do something to be back on tracks. Is the iPhone 5S the answer?
