Apple patent app details ‘active packaging,’ a new level of window shopping
April 5, 2012 by
Apple's generally not one to go overboard with packaging; a simple white box with a few unmistakable logos is just about all it takes to get the point across.

It's not that the new Apple TV wasn't rumored, but still -- announcing it here at the new iPad launch? Bold, Apple. Really bold.

January 12, 2012 by
We'd heard it was coming, and for the second year in a row, Apple has disrupted the natural flow of CES by announcing an event of its own.
