Review: iTunes Festival app for iOS

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

iTunes is the world's biggest music retailer so it is only natural that they would, from time to time, celebrate this key position by having a few concerts. The iTunes Festival is a month-long fête that takes place in London, England's Roundhouse.

Video: Steve Jobs pitches Apple's Spaceship building for 12,000

After his WWDC 2011 Keynote, Apple CEO Steve Jobs didn't waste any time in pitching Apple's future headquarters. Reminiscent of a sleek, round alien spacecraft, a giant Tron disc about the size of the Pentagon. The building will house 12,000 people and should be the venue for future WWDC presentations. The building itself is an architectural marvel, right out of science-fiction. It's funny that a council member tried to wangle free WiFi from Jobs who responded by saying that Apple is the largest taxpayer in Cupertino and it wouldn't be good for anyone if Apple moves to Mountain View. The current Apple Campus in 1 Infinite Loop will continue to be used and exist and will supplement the main building which is expected to be up 2015.
