Apple's US Market Share Slips in 1Q 2009
Gartner has released a preliminary report detailing U.S. and worldwide PC shipments for the first quarter of 2009. The report pegs Apple's U.S. market share in fourth place among vendors at 7.4%, down from 8.0% in the fourth quarter of 2008. More importantly, the report shows a slight decline in market share over the year-ago quarter, when Apple he
Living on Air: A Windows guru spends two weeks with a Mac
So it was with more than a little trepidation that I accepted a new assignment from my editor (sort of a follow-up to my article "Living free with Linux: 2 weeks without Windows") to give up my PC and try living for two weeks on the Mac. Talk about sleeping with the enemy!
Apple responds to Microsoft ads: "a PC is no bargain"

New discoveries turn up in betas of Apple's iPhone 3.0 software
Developer sources familiarizing themselves with betas of Apple's iPhone 3.0 software have uncovered a handful of additional tweaks and improvements to the system in recent weeks, including changes to Safari's window handling, new battery status indicators and notification preferences, as well as the advent of data detectors in certain apps.
The Shuffle's Mad Margins, AT&T's Separation Anxiety, and Visions of an $899 iMac
Conversation in the Apple-focused blogosphere is all over the map this week, but with Apple in the tech world's driver seat these days, wide-ranging activity is only to be expected. Out of dozens of news nuggets, here are three that create some interesting glimmers: iSuppli's teardown of Apple's diminutive iPod shuffle reveals a tidy profit margin; AT&T reportedly wants to keep its lock on the U.S. iPhone channel; and Apple is offering an $899 iMac -- but only to educational institutions.
AOL Daily Finance app raises the bar for iPhone investment tools
Filed under: iPhone, App Store
The first key feature to note is the free real-time equity quote service, provided from the BATS Exchange; major exchange (NYSE & Nasdaq) quotes are delayed, though. You can quote individual symbols or watch your entire portfolio with ease, whether you enter it on the device or link to your existing lineup under your AOL or AIM screenname; up to 25 separate portfolios can be managed. You can also view up-to-the-minute financial and market news from the AP and other sources.
The other standout feature of this app is its comprehensive charting support. Clicking the chart button on an equity page brings up a straightforward chart, but rotate your device into landscape mode and you're in a Cover Flow-esque lineup of all the charts in your portfolio. Double-tap a chart to access a full suite of advanced comparison options (vs. markets, vs. peers, seasonality, showing events like earnings & splits, and custom symbol comparisons). Holding down a finger on a single-line chart enables a crosshair cursor that lets you see the specific data for any point on the chart. All the functions are intuitive and easy to use; the charts are cached so you can see most of your data even if your device is disconnected from WiFi or cell service.
If you're of a mind to keep an eye on the markets while you're on the move, you may find this app has the tools you're looking for. Check out the gallery below for a few screenshots.

Problem with Bluetooth on New Mac Pro Models
Several reports posted on Apple discussion forum (here and there) mention a problem encountered on the new Mac Pro. From time to time, without any reason nor relation to the computer status, the Mac Pro will reboot, making all unsaved data lost.
According to the first investigation, it could be a bug linked to Bluetooth appearing when peripherals are connected (such as keyboard or mouse). To prevent any problem, it is recommended ti deactivate BT or at least, not use it. However, this can not be considered as the final solution. Apple did not officially reacted to this bug, and many unfortunate Mac Pro owners are now hoping that the forthcoming Mac OS X 10.5.7 update will fix the issue.
