Apple's concern is not the giveaways but the advertising of the giveaways. They don't want the iPad and iPhone to be thought of as tchotchkes. The iPod brand got tainted by cheesy, spammy giveaway and contest ads. Not controlling the advertising r…

Why does the symbol have to be the same as high voltage?

I wonder if third-party accessories will find use for the magnets in the iPad, or if Apple will try to prohibit unauthorized interoperability.

I've never understood this limitation. Music companies don't have any real loss from allowing this. Their business model is not seriously premised upon the same customer repurchasing the same item (re-releases and special editions being a different…

How patriotic.

With few exceptions, if you're in music and you're not on iTunes, you're losing sales. Sony is blowing smoke.

Why do people think the new iPad will be announced in January? Apple quit Macworld so they could STOP announcing new products right after Christmas.

What the heck is "vendor's compensation"? At least as far regular sales tax goes, I'm not aware that the seller is entitled to keep anything extra from the amount charged to customers for sales tax. The seller collects the tax and passes it to the s…

Does he still have a Mac in his office, at least? (Look over his shoulder.)

Snow Leopard already has hints of this. The scroll bar in the Dock's Grid view of folders is dark and brightens on mouse-over or when in motion. A Snow Leopard misstep toward a no-scrollbar experience is if you select and view many items with Quick …

You call this a security problem? If a bad person has physical access to the logged-in account on your computer, you've probably got a lot more to worry about than your Apple ID.

Removing the Genius Sidebar is a big mistake by Apple, and pretty arrogant. Apparently Ping is the only way to "discover" new music now, by following specific people and artists and seeing what they do. No thanks! I irony is, I only started using…

Why does the last-place network think its programming is worth the most?

Amazon lists unreleased stuff all the time based on nothing but their own or customers' expectations. Not really news worthy.

I'm torn. On one hand I'd prefer to see Apple issue security updates for the previous-version OS, as they do on the Mac. On the other hand, my first-gen iPhone has enough jailbreak hacks and apps that it would be kind of a pain to deal with an Apple…
