I'm a big fan of the yearly November sale. I put off our last iMac purchase this year just for this date. Even though if you have a relationship with an Apple Rep, you typically receive discounts that match or beat the typical sales...

I can't wait to see what Apple's purchase of P.A. Semi yields. Differentiation is so important and is capable of commanding nice premiums for Apple's products. Apple smartly tries to keep multiple vendors in its pocket at all times....

Jobs also remarked once that Apple only makes products they themselves would be proud of to own and use. So forget about the $500 underwhelming notebook. It's funny that many from the PC side don't understand Apple's DNA. If we apply...

I can't imagine what it's like to literally change the way notebooks are engineered with one innovation after another, then spreading additional new upgrades and features broadly across your product line, only to have people whine about...

GREAT Photos! I'm not even in the market for a new laptop and those pics got my mind wandering... As a man, I think I can speak for most of us salivating at the idea of a solid, metallic, curvy object. I agree with a previous...

Woz was a world class hardware engineer. And maybe that's as broad as his talents reach. He needs to stop commenting on all-things Apple as they make me cringe. Woz is to Apple what Bill Clinton is to Obama. The good news is he's...
