Simon Jary - It’s T time for Apple
By Simon Jary
Tangerine Apple is usually very particular about its colours, favouring a strict monochromatic policy ruled with an iron – or more likely a brushed aluminium – fist. From 1984 to 1990 just about every Apple product (except for its lurid logo) had to conform to the Snow White design language, which pinpointed exactly the correct tone of white or near beige the casing should be in. This was all down to Steve Jobs’ severe notion of perfect aesthetic beauty.

And ever since Apple launched the Mac App Store things have taken on a new dimension with thousands of programs available within OS X at the click of a button.
Fix for Mac OS X 10.7.3 bug available
There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who rush to install every new software update that Apple offers up, and those who hold off to make sure the coast is clear before they click the Install button.
