Apple employees reveal the dark side of retail.

It's said that one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch, but what about a bunch of rotten Apple Store employees? Do they spoil the Apple image that Steve Jobs created? We'll let you be the judge of that after reading a few confessions from people who claim to work at Apple Stores across the country and even overseas. Everything from stealing product to sexual harassment gets exposed.

Reflecting on the biggest, craziest tech news stories of 2012

Assuming you're reading this, the world didn't end like the Mayans predicted, even if the inexplicable popularity of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo seemed to be a sure sign of the apocalypse. But we're still here, and in many ways, 2012 was about new beginnings. Windows 8 marks a new touch-friendly era in computing, and the future of Star Wars is now in Disney's hands. Who could have predicted that?

Pricing premium or not, there's a market for Apple branded HDTVs.

It's long been rumored Apple would eventually release its own brand high definition television (HDTV), but given the premium price tags the Cupertino company often applies to its products, would it sell enough units to make the venture worthwhile?

If you've ever seen the movie Step Brothers with Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, then you have an idea of the relationship that exists between Samsung and Apple. It's a contentious one, born out of the fact that they've been brought together as a result of a marriage between mobile technologies and a mainstream audience increasingly infatuated with smartphones and tablets. Just as in Step Brothers, shenanigans ensue, the latest of which involves a significant price increase that Samsung is attempting to shove down Apple's throat.
