For those of us who are frustrated by how our neighbors do not think about our own well being when it comes to keeping the place quiet (especially folks who live in apartments), there are only some limited options we have if we want to preserve the relationship and friendship. How about moments at the office where you would prefer to have your colleagues shut their gab as you’re doing your level best to concentrate on an important piece of work at that moment? Well, the solution could come in the form of this new iPhone application that is touted to offer instant relief by converting annoying noise into soothing sound.

Whenever I’m in the Apple store, I can’t resist drooling over the Mac Mini.  I already have a tiny PC that does basically the same thing as a Mac Mini hooked up to my TV, but it’s nowhere near as pretty as the Mac Mini.  I know, it’s sad to admit that I want an electronic device mostly because of how it looks. However, let’s face it, I’m not the only Mac fan that way.  A large part of the reason Apple products are such a pleasure to own, is because they have such a nice sleek look to them.  The down side with Apple products is that they lack a decent range of colors.

In case you haven’t heard, the new iPod Shuffle is out. The boys at Apple have given the Shuffle a makeover, and it is both good and bad.

The good news is that it now has 4GB worth of memory on it. It is also smaller, measuring just 1.8 inches tall and 0.7 inches wide.

Another new feature is the VoiceOver, which will tell the user the name of the current track and also when it is time to recharge the battery. The VoiceOver feature allows the user to operate multiple playlists, as they can be navigated as the player announces their names.

All the buttons have been taken off of it, and placed conveniently on the headphones. Even though Apple thought this was going to be the good news, many tech blogs everywhere have been criticizing this feature as extremely bad news.

Apple’s iPhone, how will life be without you? Never before in the history of mankind have we seen humans line up for days before the iPhone was actually released, regardless of whether it is the original or the upgraded version with 3G connectivity. Some of us have even gone so far as to dub it the Jesus phone, lending some sort of divine quality to the handset, but does it really deserve such a tag? After all, holding it up to the Red Sea won’t be able to part the huge body of water in half, let alone the small drain right outside my house. However, after taking a look at this website – Parkingticket.com, I am pretty convinced the iPhone is just about the most versatile handset to date. How many other phones do you know are able to help you wriggle your way out of a parking ticket? You can quit thinking and squeezing your brain for the moment, as the iPhone is the solitary one at this point in time.

Apple’s very lucrative fee sharing arrangement with AT&T over iPhone fees may be coming to an end in favor of a new carrier … Verizon Wireless. If Apple’s interim CEO Tim Cook considers what to do with the current carrier arrangement over the iPhone, rumors are flying that Verizon wireless may be courting Cupertino for a similar exclusive arrangement for Apple customer loyalty. But most tech reporters agree that changing one deal with the devil for another is just as bad and Apple should consider tossing iPhone use wide open for all carriers, and customers to enjoy.
