By Simon Jary
Apple is, for the moment at least, no longer selling the Mac Pro in Europe. Is Apple annoyed with us for still buying BlackBerries or siding with Samsung in the courts?

Apple's bad cable manners
By Simon Jary
After an 18-month wait Apple is finally shipping a new range of iMacs, and very nice they are, too.

Apple Education
Today’s generation of students see technology as a vital part of the learning experience. The MacBook and MacBook Air are essential tools for many collage students, and with the iPad replacing textbooks and laptops across the globe Apple looks set to be at the heart of learning for years to come. Apple also uses its powerful iTunes U program to deliver podcasts, lectures, and course materials to students around the world.
