The new iPads: What you need to know

Between Apple’s presentation at its Tuesday press event, the press releases and spec sheets that followed, and our all-too-brief hands-on session, we’ve been able to get a pretty good first impression of the new iPad mini and, to a lesser extent, the fourth-generation iPad. So while we wait for our review units to arrive, here’s what we know so far.

Apple unveils iPad mini and fourth-generation iPad

On Tuesday, just six months after unveiling the third-generation iPad, Apple unveiled the long-rumored iPad mini along with a fourth-generation of the standard model. Despite the 100 million iPads Apple sold in just 2.5 years, Apple CEO Tim Cook said, “we’re not taking our foot off the gas.”

The five weirdest Macs of all time

In its 36 years in business, Apple has produced hundreds of computer models in a dizzying array of sizes, styles, and capabilities. All along the way, fans and critics alike have lauded Apple for its unique and distinctive design sense—even in the awkward years before Steve Jobs rejoined the company, believe it or not.

However, if a company produces hundreds of computer models, chances are that a few might come out looking a little too distinctive, little too unique, or little tooweird. Here are the five weirdest Macs ever released by Apple.

Latest version of Firefox withdrawn

Less than a day after Mozilla released Firefox version 16 to the public, the browser had to be pulled from the Web over security concerns.


"Mozilla is aware of a security vulnerability in the current release version of Firefox," Michael Coates, Mozilla's director of security assurance, explained in a blog. "We are actively working on a fix and plan to ship updates [Thursday]. Firefox version 15 is unaffected."

A year after Steve Jobs's death: As we should have expected, it's the same Apple

Much has been made of how Apple would survive in a post-Steve Jobs world. And in the year since the former CEO passed away at age 56 after a long illness, new Apple boss Tim Cook has been repeatedly subjected to comparisons to his predecessor. The comparisons are not usually flattering: “Steve Jobs would never have allowed that” has become such a constant cry in some corners of the tech press, it’s turned into something of a cliche.

Worse, though, that line of thinking betrays a lack of insight into the way that Apple—and, frankly, Steve Jobs—has acted. For all of the iconic Apple co-founder’s achievements—and there were many, many of those—his most lasting accomplishment may be how he prepared Apple to thrive long after he had left the company.

The five key decisions Apple must make

Having a new CEO take the reins from an iconic co-founder has not seemed to cause much turbulence for Apple. In fact, the company is stronger than at any point in its history. In its most recent fiscal quarter, the company sold more iPads than in any three-month period in its history; it also tallied June-quarter records for Mac and iPad sales and saw quarterly revenue rise 22 percent from the previous year to $35 billion. More to the point, Apple is now the most valuable company in the world in terms of market capitalization.
