Here we go again. I'm going to complain about the retina display causing me to be sleepy all the time because I stay up late playing with my iPad. If I fall asleep driving, I'm gonna file a class action lawsuit. Apple is evil!

I've been working on an iBook, which leaves me wondering why there are so few titles that use all that it can do? Apple released Yellow Submarine (free), which shows its use as a children's book. Yet, it's amazing how rich you can make a textbook.…

...actually sounds like July 4th, but... a 17" MacBook Pro with 3840x2400 (or even better 4096x2400) display dual Thunderbolt quad-core Ivy Bridge with Intel's HD 4000 + a nice top-of-the-line nVidia discrete GPU 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM No optica…

...and it works great. True, my download speeds average just under 1Mbps, but I'm never without coverage, I have unlimited everything, and it's the cheapest by about $25/month. The advantage of unlimited is that I keep my iPhone4s available with…

I agree that the Apple insights are very useful, and that solipsism is quite frequently an inspiration as well.

Let me state the obvious. Perhaps it's just that the more recent Apple "switchers" have a working computer and don't even think about needing the latest, greatest OS. The machine still works. Why change it? Upgrading to the latest Windows is g…

I'm getting 137ms ping with .83mbps down/1.09mbps up. Is it great? No. But then I look at my unlimited plan and how much I'm paying for it, and I smile. I'm not watching movies on my phone (at least not streaming ones), but everything I do is …

1. It's a fake. They don't actually have Siri running. They just have something that looks like Siri for the sake of YouTube videos. They're still trying to get the software cracked. 2. If Apple's infrastructure is struggling with 4+ million p…

Do a Wireshark trace of the data. Only in cases where it's beyond interpretation does the full audio get sent. If you're not up for looking at a network trace, or don't know what to look for... Use Siri for a while and notice that it improves…
