As an average user, does the free OS change the way you use Apple computers? OS X 10.9 Mavericks: The Ars Technica Review. After a dozen years and nine major releases, OS X has had a full life: the exuberance of youth, gradually maturing into adulthood, and now, perhaps, entering its dotage.
When I am an old operating system I shall wear… leather? The 2011 release of OS X 10.7 Lion seemed to mark the natural endpoint of the “big cat” naming scheme.

A number of iPhone 5s owners are reporting that their new smartphones are displaying the feared"blue screen of death" (BSOD) after using certain apps, and then launching into a reboot.

New York Creates 'Texting Zones' to Stop Car Accidents. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo introduced "texting zones" to the state’s highways this week in order to prevent accidents caused by motorists who send text messages while driving. In recent years, local governments across the U.S. have worked hard to curb the growing trend of texting-related accidents, but the arrival of new and more feature-rich mobile devices have posed a challenge to their efforts. Just as rest stops give road-weary, long-distance drivers a rest from the road, New York's "texting zones" aim to encourage hardcore texters to pull over before writing a message on their mobile devices.
Drivers will be alerted to the 91 new zones via 298 signs strategically placed along state highways. How to Multitask in iOS 7. In iOS 7, Apple rolled out a totally new way to manage your apps.
