We waited all year to get Apple’s next variations of their iPhones and ¡Pads, and now that they’ve been released, we have to ask what’s next. We always want more. We’re now happily thumbing our way through the 5s and 5c iPhones and gesturing our way around the new iPad Air and iPad Mini with Retina Display devices. Yet there are already stories coming out about what’s next. So exciting were these recent releases that we almost forgot temporarily about the things we haven’t seen yet. We’d heard about the possibilities of curved glass and larger iPhones, yet that’s not what was released. Will we see them in the next release of the iPhone or will they be further down the line? And what about the i Watch and Apple…

So far, so smooth. Nothing less than the year’s biggest initial public offering took place on the morning ofThursday, November 7, as Twitter followed Facebook into the public markets. However, while Facebook’s IPO attracted a flurry of negative headlines, things seemed to go pretty well for its obvious rival, a company that has not yet turned a profit - and will now be under even greater pressure to do so. Twitter went conservative with its share pricing for its first day on the New York Stock Exchange. From $26 on Wednesday night, the microblogging platform’s stock began to trade at $45.10 at about 10:30am. Over the coming hours, that price would rise to $50.09 at its peak, dropping to about $46 by mid-afternoon and finally closing at $44.90 a share.…

HIS JOB AFTER JOBS Tim Cook has 312,109 Twitter followers. Although this seems like a low number for the celebrated Apple chief and arguably the most highly paid CEO in the world, Cook only joined the social media site in July but didn’t even use the outlet until the end of September. So what was Tim’s first tweet? He said, “Visited retail stores in Palo Alto today. Seeing so many happy customers reminds us of why we do what we do.” The ret weets for this fairly innocuous sound bite went wild. Some 8,230 Twitter members repeated what Cook said, and some 4,445 made this tweet one of their favorites. Apparently, nearly every tech type wants to hear from or about Tim Cook, a fairly low-key guy who hails from…

Waiting in line for a new iPhone on the day it launches is normal. Waiting in line for a new iPhone a month and a half after it comes out is just strange. But at the flagship Apple Store in Manhattan, consumers are outside waiting in line around the clock to purchase the iPhone 5s, which came out in mid-September. According to PC Mag, Apple’s iconic glass-cube Apple Store still has a “huge line” of customers looking for the popular device. Apple is asking them to wait outside the store for the sake of its other customers who aren’t shopping for the iPhone 5s. The iPhone 5s is hard to come by - especially if you want the gold version - but at this point, there’s no reason to wait…
