Welcome to the disposable capitalist world of the 21st century, where everything except your Mac is a commodity. Whilst the rest of the world burns, Corporate America, with the exception of Apple, believes that shipping crap products in volume is t…

Five years is long enough when your family is thousands of miles away - what's the difference between 100,000 developers and store workers? nothing, although I'm not a fan of what is known over here as Human Remains - there's still a job to be done…

Ha!, I'm one of those with a self installed processor upgrade - its tricky, not hard. These machines are awesome, even the old ones - just look at the prices they fetch on eBay, like all Apple machines, they retain value, some value, way beyond tha…

Same old tired arguments, same old nonsense, sure you can build a PC for less, with a vaguely similar specification, if you are lucky. I did the exact same calculation when the 17inch dome iMac came out - it wasn't possible to build a machine with t…

appex said: Apple should use standards and stop using proprietary and soldered components in all devices. I think you'll find Apple an early adopter, pioneer and supporter of industry standards - USB on first iMac and Lightning to name bu…

As the M$ adverts on TV over here say, "can't do that with my Mac.." as the adverts demonstrate touch screens and drawing on the screen - but you can with an iPad Pro... I prefer "wouldn't do that to my Mac" as coach hurls the offending Surface...…

Anti-competitive? Those three are having a laugh and a joke at their customers expense because they don't have enough competition - contactless reader technology is fairly widespread in the UK - but RFID bank cards are fundamentally insecure to wal…

The BOMBE was a development of the Polish Bomba, the BOMBE did NOT decode Enigma messages, it was an electomechanical device [albeit a very clever one] which helped the code breakers to eliminate the majority of the settings of Enigma which were inc…

I have both, 4s for work [work number], 6 for play [private number], 4s is robust, small. The 's' by the way stands for SLOW. The 6 is a great device, but TOO big for just putting in your jeans pocket. I'd love a fast compact phone with suffi…

A bit off topic - Actually the reason MS is going to the cloud model is because they developed a business model to prop up the share price based on subscriptions for use of Office / Outlook etc - a one time licence sale is exactly that, a repeating …

I can buy Bose products in numerous locations other than Apple stores, including Bose' own shops. What's the problem?.

I'm a leftie, but my watch is still on my left wrist, lefties are used to working in a right handed world, it's just the way things are. If it has an 'upside down' mode then does it matter if the crown is below the button? That's only a software s…

Until you've used a smart watch attached to your phone, don't question it, try it. Bought a Pebble, love being able to answer calls from the watch, knowing who's ringing without having the phone visible, alternatively drop the call, brilliant. I ca…

I generally don't post reactions to ridiculous comments but this one really deserves a riposte: @constable odo - your observation that Samsung dominates the smartwatch market is a pretty sweeping statement - just how big is that market exactly? …

Its all got a bit emotional hasn't it? The Mac Pro supports 3 x 4K screens, but Apple don't sell a display to go with it, yet... 4K screens are in the wild, the Sony X9 is better than awesome. 4K movies are on Blu-Ray or Ultraviolet, but how …

There's already a smartphone on the market with a fingerprint scanner. It's only available in Japan, runs Android and probably won't leave Japan but at least it's out in the market despite Apple buying Authentec which almost certainly delayed develo…

Windows phone MAY have been a factor in the past, but only because there was NOTHING better, in reality the Windows CE based phone with a stylus was total rubbish. Steve was right, we all have universal pointing devices fully integrated.

I had a Sony Tablet S, typical Sony build quality - solid, interesting form factor, nice to handle. This is not a cheap device, around the same price as an iPad. BUT STILL CATASTROPHICALLY LET DOWN BY THE OPERATING SYSTEM. The devic…
