via: cnn.com (CNN) — Among chief executives, Steve Jobs was an outlier. CEOs of public companies are generally hands-on, but Jobs was involved in practically every detail, from determining which industries Apple should invade to the material used for the iPhone’s screen.

The long-expected news came at a packed press conference at […]
(Mashable) — If you thought Apple would be absent from the news during CES (which it traditionally doesn’t attend), you were wrong. Apple may not have any new products to show off at the moment, but the iPhone 3GS just became a lot more affordable, as AT&T cut its price to a mere $49, the […]
Not forgetting Sunday morning’s time change is hard enough. But Apple iPhone users in the United States must also remember to delete and then reset their phone’s alarm clock — otherwise they may be an hour late for work on Monday morning. A glitch in the iPhone’s operating system will cause recurring weekday alarms not […]
Apple has updated the Apple Store and its iPhone-related FAQ’s web page to reflect a change in the availability of the iPhone 4.
