Neil at the AppleInsider blog reported yesterday that Apple [AAPL] has posted a job opening for a full-time employee with significant game development expertise to work on iPhone and iPod touch projects.

Could there possibly be any company willing to step up on August 28, 2009, the official release date for Apple’s [AAPL] new version of their popular operating system, OS X.

If you’re like me and sometimes really tax your Mac (this is assuming you are, in fact, a Mac owner), you may experience a kernel panic.

Apple’s [AAPL] iPhone OS 3.0, shipping on the new iPhone 3G S devices, is also available today as software upgrades for the iPhone and iPod touch devices.
