MITCHELL WAITE could think of only one reason that Apple’s legal department would leave a voice message last February asking him to call back: he was about to be sued. Mr. Waite has a tiny software company bearing his name — it has no full-time employees — whose principal product is a field guide to birds called iBird Explorer, which runs on the iPhone and the iPod Touch.

Is there any topic Pixar can’t turn into a hit? The studio has now transformed its geriatric fantasy adventure Up into its third highest grossing opening ever, behind The Incredibles ($70 million) and Finding Nemo ($70.2 million). It’s surely been aided by the 1500 3-D screens that cost a premium ticket price. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian grabbed the number two...

We’re less than a week away from the launch of the supposed next “iPhone killer,” the Palm Pre. The iPhone has miraculously survived a few of these attempts on its life before — it somehow weathered the BlackBerry Storm, and before that, the G1 was going to be the device the did it in. The G1 was compelling because it was the first phone to run Google’s Android operating system. But as a piece of...

I am in love with Pixar. I’d like to start a Pixar collection. Every single one of their movies that I’ve seen is amazing - the animation is awesome, the characters are so interesting and well-defined, and the best part is always the story: inventive, sweet without being too sentimental, and ORIGINAL. In these days of jukebox Broadway musicals and remakes of TV shows, it is...

With The Sims 3 right around the corner, the unholy union of two of the greatest threats to our nation’s collective productivity was probably inevitable. But when I recently made the trek to Electronic Arts’ campus to see the iPhone game in action, I was nevertheless caught off-guard by the faithfulness of the mobile version.
Egregious fashion choices, incomprehensible chatter, the inexplicable...
