I started ForkBombr in September 2008. Since then, it’s seen impressive growth, averaging 3,000 page views a month, which still surprises me. In the last 12 months, it’s been read in 105 countries. Most hits come from readers using a Macintosh, although 17% of you are still using Internet Explorer. The most popular articles have [...]
The Consumerist: AT&T has apparently found a workable solution to the reported data congestion in New York City. They’ve quietly stopped selling the iPhone to customers in the New York metropolitan area, at least from their web site.
Mac Rumors: With rumors of the Apple tablet reaching new highs, MacRumors has found evidence that Apple acquired the domain name iSlate.com presumably in preparation for the new device. It’s not a great name, but it sure sounds like something the company that named a notebook computer the “MacBook Pro” would use.

Napster’s popularity made it clear for the first time that broadband was a platform, no different than, say, Windows or the PlayStation. That’s because [...]
PC World: From our speed tests, it’s safe to say that Apple made the right choice switching to FireWire 800 from FireWire 400 on many Mac models. Although FireWire 400 is faster at most tasks than USB 2.0 (even though FireWire 400′s theoretical bandwidth is lower than USB 2.0′s) it isn’t always, or by much. [...]
Boy Genius Report: We’re really going out on a limb here, but one of our very connected sources let us know that they’ve heard very solid information about Apple’s upcoming tablet. It has been widely reported recently that the size of the tablet is 10″, but there was also talk about a 7″ model. Our [...]
Harvard Business Review has named Steve Jobs the “Best-Performing CEO in the World.” This is behind that pay wall, according to AppleInsider: “The #1 CEO on the list, Steve Jobs, delivered a whopping 3,188% industry-adjusted return (34% compounded annually) after he rejoined Apple as CEO in 1997, when the company was in dire shape,” the [...]
