Big mistake, Apple! Some of us remember what a dead end the Power PC chips turned out to be. I have been a Mac user since you changed to Intel (currently own 4, not counting my iPhone and iPad), and I will probably move away if you stop using indu…

They shouldn't have killed off the non-Retina 15" MacBook Pro until they were prepared to lower the Retina model to the same price point. Now it is impossible to get into a 15" MacBook Pro for less than nearly $2,000. That may not seem much to the…

I really hate the flat graphics. While I thought the faux leather and torn page took skeumorphism too far, I certainly preferred graphics and textures that were on a human scale. I now feel like my phone and iPad have become an ugly, alien device.…

Quote: Ive and Forstall reportedly didn't get along well, with Forstall pushing more ornate designs reflecting his work on Aqua and recent efforts to wrap apps in leather or introduce animations such as the shredder in Passbook. Fo…

No, actually, I own a 13" and a 15" MBP and a Mini, an iPad and an iPod Touch. I teach classes on using Mac software, so I am aware of what my students can afford. $1799 was already a high entry point for a 15" laptop. $2199 is out of reach for…

"The next-generation MacBook Pro starts at $2,199 for the 15.4-inch model." Whoops. I am far from poor, but this is WAY out of my price range for a laptop--no matter how cool it is.

The commenters who are saying Apple can raise the price and people will just pay it need to live in the real world. Apple fell victim to this kind of thinking with the first Mac Book Air, and it was relegated to a niche toy, until Apple essentially…

It's time like this that I think this whole intellectual property situation is out of control.

I love the Mac Mini. The problem is when you come to peripherals--or the lack thereof. The cheapest Apple keyboard is $50 (wired). The cheapest Apple mouse is $50 (also wired). And the only Apple-branded display is $1000. So, conservatively, an …

Quote: ...the 11 inch model shaves off a little weight and significant size while retaining a full sized keyboard and trackpad. It does give up some display area, and the subtraction is most obvious in the vertical axis. So much so that you may wan…

Quote: Also, what about the new iMac case being two pieces of black glass (front and back) with a band of aluminum sandwiched between like the iPhone 4? In retrospect, it would have been better if the new iPhone had been aluminum unibody like th…

I really wanted to support Apple in this thing, and I was finally ready to leave Verizon for AT&T when the iPhone 4 came out. But I am disappointed with what appears to be an obvious design flaw in the iPhone 4 and Apple's weak response. In my…

It is just so "old tech" the way these print publishers talk about offering their publications on the iPad. What have they been doing with websites for the past 16 years? Websites can offer the same content in a format that is much better suited t…

I'd been intending to buy a Touch for a long time but was waiting for Apple to add a camera. Now if it comes out with a video-only camera, I'll have to forget it entirely. What is this infatuation with video-only cameras?

Face it: Wal Mart is America's retailer. They have stores everywhere. If the store is in a less affluent area, the customers are going to be what some of you snobs are calling rednecks. If the store is in an upscale neighborhood, the customers a…

It is hard to see Ballmer as anything more than a big, dumb guy with a bad temper who just doesn't get it--as to what works, what the public wants, you name it. He is having trouble making anything more out of Microsoft than it was when he took it …
