“We fought hard for iPad,” a pilot working for the airline told AppleInsider. He described the Delta deal as being about money, travel contracts, and Delta’s Information Technology staff historically being “in bed” with Microsoft.
Why would Delta want to listen to the people actually using the devices at 30,000 feet in the air.
CSS Regions allow you to flow content into a series of containers on a single page. It’s the equivalent of linking text boxes in an application like InDesign. It makes possible some layouts that were previously only possible by blurring the line between data and styles.
Good hire for Apple.
This is an impressive looking upgrade for one of the best drum samplers on the market.
Developer Greg Pierce talks to Charles Perry and Joe Cieplinski about updating his popular app, Drafts, to iOS 7.
eleMount – This universal mount raises the bar, allowing gadgets (smartphone and tablets) to be placed on a premium pedestal that matches their beautiful design and quality. One of the most user friendly mounts ever designed, eleMount sticks to any flat surface and doesn’t care if you prefer Apple or Android or like to keep your case on. eleMount works just as you’d expect. No suction cups, no locks, no instruction manual. You only need one hand to mount your device.

After all, shouldn’t your spectacularly designed device rest on an equally eye-catching pedestal?
Delta will distribute Microsoft Surface 2 tablets to its pilots and not Nokia’s “Sirius” tablet as originally planned. The move comes in the wake of a deal to distribute Nokia Lumia 820 smart phones to nearly 19,000 flight attendants.
Note to self: Never fly Delta.

Voting for the Sound on Sound Awards is open.
In a tweet from its official Twitter account, Product (RED) revealed today that Apple has raised more than $65 million to support the fight against AIDS. U2 lead singer, Bono, commented that “Apple is certainly leading the crew,” referring to the Product (RED) partners.
The update fixes a bug that allowed someone to bypass the lock screen and reintroduces a Greek keyboard. The update is available by going to Settings > General > Software Update on your iPhone.
Seriously Samsung?
I really like the Line 6 gear.
For the last week or so I’ve been testing out IK Multimedia’s new iRig Pro, the company’s audio interface that connects to iPhone, iPad and your Mac. That means that one interface can serve multiple purposes for you.[…]
Kyle Vanhemert wrote a great article about Apple’s design choices in iOS 7.
I’m not even going to link to ABC or WSJ. Instead you can read Daniel Eran Dilger’s fine story. Spoiler: ABC and WSJ think Apple’s record iPhone sales are bad news.
Apple on Tuesday released an update to its iMac desktop computer. In the past, I may have said “Apple’s consumer desktop,” and while it technically is, these are powerful computers.
According to Apple, the entry-level 21.5-inch iMac features a 2.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor and new Iris Pro integrated graphics. The high-end 21.5-inch model and both 27-inch models feature quad-core Intel Core i5 processors up to 3.4GHz and NVIDIA GeForce 700 series graphics with twice the video memory and up to 40 percent faster performance than the previous generation.
If you want a bit more power, you can upgrade to the quad-core Intel Core i7 processors up to 3.5GHz and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M series graphics with up to 4GB of video memory.
iMac also now supports next generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi.
Apple said the iMac comes standard with 8GB of memory and a 1TB hard drive—that is configurable up to 32GB of memory and up to a 3TB hard drive. iMac also comes with two Thunderbolt and four USB 3.0 ports for connecting to external storage and other high performance peripherals.

One thing I’ve learned—everyone has different thoughts on what makes a great calendar. Here’s another alternative that looks pretty good.
This should be interesting.
BlackBerry was sold for $4.7 billion or about what Apple made on iPhone sales last weekend.
The chart says it all.
An SEC Form 8K alerting the commission that those 9 million sales represents a material change in the company’s prospects for its fiscal fourth quarter, which ends Saturday. “Apple expects total company revenue for the fourth fiscal quarter to be near the high end of the previously provided range of $34 billion to $37 billion,” the company wrote, “and expects gross margin to be near the high end of the previously provided range of 36% to 37%.”
Sales are so over-the-top great, the company has to tell the SEC.
Microsoft is trying, but I just don’t see it working out for them. The biggest problem isn’t battery life, it’s that customers don’t want the Surface.
New York City’s Police Department is looking to cut back crime by informing iPhone-owning residents that they should update their devices to the latest version of iOS in order to obtain new security features designed to thwart potential thieves.
Apple today announced it has sold a record-breaking nine million new iPhone® 5s and iPhone 5c models, just three days after the launch of the new iPhones on September 20. In addition, more than 200 million iOS devices are now running the completely redesigned iOS 7, making it the fastest software upgrade in history. Both iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c are available in the US, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore and the UK. Demand for iPhone 5s has exceeded the initial supply, and many online orders are scheduled to be shipped in the coming weeks.
“This is our best iPhone launch yet―more than nine million new iPhones sold―a new record for first weekend sales,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “The demand for the new iPhones has been incredible, and while we’ve sold out of our initial supply of iPhone 5s, stores continue to receive new iPhone shipments regularly. We appreciate everyone’s patience and are working hard to build enough new iPhones for everyone.”
Wow.
BlackBerry has halted the planned rollout of their BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) app for iPhone and Android, and pulled it from those regional App Stores that already launched it, like New Zealand.
There are just no words.
