We may construe this as an organized attack on AAPL. But look at the bigger picture. Maybe this is only a testbed for nanosecond tradingalgorithms to see what would happen during an all-out attack on US stocks. These trading algorithms are not eve…

Also, the language/region filtering on reviews, especially on ratings, is badly broken if you are not from the US. Many, if not most, apps are completely language agnostic, and if the ratings/reviews that are visible to you are severely rest…

If Apple said: "The others don't have an AppStore", it doesn't logically follow that the term "AppStore" also applies to them.

Apple is fragmenting its very own platform. Users typically own iPhones, iPads and Macs that are not of the same age. Some of those can't be upgraded to the latest software, for various reasons (performance, memory space, or otherwise). Now we h…

University "Drive" in Palo Alto?

Sounds to me like they tried to orchestrate a booby trap.

Does Google going with LG for the new Nexus mean that Google is axing Samsung as an Android phone maker?

The trouble with Google Maps is that Google is trying to also build an ecosystem around it. I am worried about public transportation data, which transit companies deliver directly to Google (and not to Apple, for the time being). Given that their I…

One nice feature of the new Maps app is that it lets you suggest improvements/point out errors. So I reported the mislabelling of my very own street (A situation that existed as well for 2 years in Google Maps but has since been corrected. The error…

What bothers me immensely is that Apple doesn't even provide interoperability between iChat and FaceTime. iPhone 3GS doesn't have FaceTime (not even a pared-down version of it). The first thing Apple should do is make ALL its devices interop…

Same here in Belgium. Only about 60% of the US services are available (no TV-shows --local or otherwise-- at all; Hulu, even Hulu proper doesn't seem to be available outside the US, even though we live in a global world with US ex-pats and enthusi…

Next, I hope Apple will FINALLY add the same feature to its wireless mice and keyboards, namely the possibility to charge via a temporary USB connection.

Time to quickly register a few trademarks sounding like names of cats.

I am just afraid that with the new configurable security settings, a new kind of social engineering attack will see the light. Malicious apps may generate nag alerts on purpose, intending the user to get tired at some point and relax the sandbox…

I hope they made him sign some kind of NDA, or at least some kind of agreement to restrain him from making random statements about SJ in the media (which turn out to only feed the FUD around AAPL's stock value). At least till the movie is released.

If such a deal would take off, it would certainly administer a significant blow to Samsung's TV business (more than a set-top aTV box, which would work WITH Samsung TVs). I still do believe that Apple is just working with major TV suppliers …

AT&T shouldn't complain that the market gets fed up with the greedy texting charges for BOTH the receiver and the sender (not so in most countries). It is a revenue they shouldn't have had in the first place (although I can appreciate the conv…
