» Last week, Apple opened Apple Watch order books. Most models now have a delivery date of June. Some may suggest that this is Cupertino under-ordering to create a false shortage. It may not be until July or August that the watch appears here.
Threats of threats of viruses

» Once in a while, when you are using a Mac online, you may see a warning that your computer has a virus. This is a lie. There are no viruses for OS X. There are other forms of malware, but the self-replicating application that tries to install and embed itself into other programs is not one.

» Apple sent out invitations for a "Spring Forward" event, which will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco on March 9.

» Apple's record financial quarter announced last week surprised many. With over 74 million phones sold, it is not only fanboys these days.

» With the announcement of Apple's Q1 2015 figures released just a few hours ago, I expect there are already several reports online explaining the numbers and telling us why Apple is succeeding.

» A couple of weeks ago my MacBook Pro came back from Mac Center. It has now returned to its usual stable condition. Apart from running a hardware check that found nothing, Mac Center tell me that they reset the system management controller (SMC) and the board logic, then wiped the hard disk.

» A couple of years after the appearance of the original "Bondi Blue" iMac, the interesting Harman Kardon Sound Sticks appeared. With modifications, these are still available and I actually think they look as good now, as they ever did back then.
