Take Hollywood's average monthly revenue, divide it by the number of people on Earth who can afford a set-top box, and make that the monthly fee to be able to watch anything and everything that exists on demand. Why is this so hard to put together?

Technology is a global marketplace and all governments need to be considered just another security threat. If there's a backdoor for the U.S., they'll share it with "allies" like Saudi Arabia. China will hack their way through it. Your friend is som…

Wall Street must secretly hate Apple. No, they won't say it while Apple is the most successful company in modern times by many measures, but consider what Wall Street did to JetBlue: analysts tearing it down for “overly brand-conscious and customer-…

All of you defending suspicion-less searches and unpaid time are real pushovers. I guess if the standards for human decency are lowered on a massive enough scale, abuse becomes not only acceptable, but it also becomes unacceptable to question or cha…

Mandating government backdoors for encryption would be a nightmare. Consider the globalization of the industry. If the U.S. requires products to have a backdoor key, of course other countries will want versions of the product that do NOT have the U.…

Hopefully the same system requirements. It would be ironic if a release intended mainly to clean things up and improve performance left out the Macs that need it the most.

This could inspire someone to develop an app for controlling service animals with Taptic Engine cues or alert tones.

HBO doesn't show "porn" with actual graphic sex acts on screen because there might still be a prosecutor in some backwoods county somewhere that would prosecute the local cable company for obscenity.

Tim Cook is liberal, Carly Fiorina is conservative; therefore fairness requires that Fiorina must be afforded the same respect Tim Cook is. It does not matter how stupid and regressive Republican policies and politicians often are; we have a two-par…

This whole case has always been upside-down. Let's prosecute Apple for violating antitrust laws in a way that increased competition!

A car would be a gigantic leap into a strange new industry, but the iPod and iPhone were steps of that kind. The product category of personal computers that Apple was founded on is now a minority of its revenue. Apple is much bigger now and can take…
