This week, Apple released its first-ever instructions for designing and developing a game controller for use with Apple products.

Apple Maps is getting a pretty little desktop client in the new OS X Mavericks. The desktop client includes the same (steadily improving) offering of 3D-flyover views, and provides you with information cards as you skirt around different locations. And once you find your destination on the desktop, you can shunt it right over to your iPhone at the press of a button. Read More >>

While all the hullabaloo at WWDC is focused on what iOS and OSX look like, we should be more concerned with whether or not they actually work. The late Steve Jobs did say over a decade ago that Apple focuses on not just the aesthetics of its products but also how they actually work: "It's not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works." So you've got to wonder if Apple has finally fixed iCloud. Read More >>

Apple's OS X 10.9 Mavericks looks nice and shiny and new, in all the ways that new operating systems usually do. But it's got one big fix for what had been the single stupidest thing in all of OS X for the past two years. That's multiple displays. Read More >>

While iOS 7 was expected to be the star of Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference (WWDC) this year, it wasn't the only operating system getting a significant update. Supposedly codenamed "Cabernet" at headquarters, OS X Mavericks was unveiled on Monday and marked a turn away from the big cat naming convention Apple's used for years.

Just because there aren't many viruses infecting Macs, doesn't mean OS X can't be a vector. I run ClamXav, not really to protect my Mac from viruses, but to protect my Windows machines from catching malware from files on my Mac. So, do you Mac-using folks run any kind of AV software, and if so, which one? Read More >>

Apple's just pinged word out that tickets for its WWDC for 2013 go on sale tomorrow. This year it's between June 10-14th, so expect iOS 7 talk, maybe even some OS X updates, and possibly hardware. Although don't hold your breath on that one. Read More >>

With the OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4 beta release currently in the hands of developers, some of the more eagle-eyed nerds have noticed references to code which appear to confirm rumours about Apple's plans to roll out super-fast Wi-Fi to its Macs. Read More >>

Unofficial Apple spokesman John Gruber has written a short post on Daring Fireball suggesting that iOS 7 is running well behind schedule—and that as a result Apple is hauling man power from its OS X development team. Read More >>

Remember that whole I'm-a-Mac-you're-a-PC-you've-got-viruses-and-I'm-a-smug-healthy-git series of ads? Yeah, those ones. Well, they've been proved wrong yet again, 'cos OS X has another Trojan vunerability that'll spam your browser with a gazillion ads (and probably steal your card details to boot). Read More >>

It's just a more-or-less just a standard PC in a tablet frame, so of course the Surface Pro can probably run OS X -- almost any modern X86-based PC can these days. But should you run OS X on the Microsoft Surface Pro? One intrepid hackintosher seemingly decided to give it a whirl. Read More >>

So, young Padawan, you think you know your operating system? Think again. You might be au fait with basics like Ctrl + C or Cmd + C, but there's more to life than a bit of copying and pasting. Here's a little list of our favourite lesser-known shortcuts to revolutionise your workflow. Read More >>

Apple's rather annoying personal butler is coming to the Mac, if Apple's latest job posting is any indication anyway. Sounds like Siri's going to be able to interact with and control pretty much any app on a Mac. But would that really be a good thing? Read More >>
