I agree that Android has gotten off to a slow and not exactly overwhelming start. But this is such a scalding, one-sided article that it really does nothing but inform the reader of the author's bias.

I've been waiting for a functional replacement for the paper book and notebook for ages, and this isn't it. Some points: * The keyboard is a mistake. A simple touch screen should suffice. * e-Ink is the right way to go for display. They got tha…

Finally a view of the dock on the side! Why did it take so long?! Anyway, I think it looks spiffy. In fact, I think I like it better than the glorious "3D" bottom dock. I think simpler, more straight-forward 2D look is better in practice, and sti…

Vulgar, but not funny or witty, in my honest opinion. I see AppleInsider is trying to "build value" by adding on additional content. The Leopard articles are good, and do build up value, but this type of mediocre, vaguely-related content only ser…

Who cares about these guys? They sold us out. If they want to start creating Mac games again, then fine, no one will stop them, and they might even get some sales. But I'm certainly not going to be jumping for joy because they've become indepe…

Great little preview there, AI! (pun intended!) Seriously, Preview looks to be shaping up to be a really capable basic-viewing and editing app. I wonder though how big it's going to be and if it won't be giving up its speed or lighter resource us…

I wonder if it's possible to boot-up a Mac using the networked USB drive as the startup disk.

Quote: Originally posted by CosmoNut But that begs the question: Could you make a Mac with BOTH PowerPC and Intel chips in it? Many Amigas used/use PowerPC accelerator chips in addition to their own 68K CPUs, also.

Jobs probably got too high a dosage of truth after reading parts of the book. Oh whatever, let someone else write it then. Hmfn!

I also wonder why Apple went looking in the garbage bin for music when there is so much better stuff available, even in pop and rap. And it wasn't right to have an innocent little boy singing (a small portion of) the violent and negative crap this i…

A commercial in which some features of the Mac OS are demonstrated and we got to see a Mac- perhaps different combinations of features (such as iPhoto in one, iTunes and iPod in another, iMovie another) and Macs (iMac, iBook, etc.), would be great. …

I agree this: 1. is a very immature and childish reaction form Jobs. 2. is unreasonable. Not selling the biography is one thing, pulling all of the publisher's books, even ones written by other authors is quite another. 3. will give this bo…

The Made for iPod certification is not a bad idea in itself. And, of course, it would cost Apple to certify the products, but this can be covered by a one time certification fee. Now, I don't know if this kind of royalty fee is common in these situa…

Quote: Apple has been buying 5GB ST1 microdrives from Seagate since at least December. The iPod maker has been using the 5GB drives in the manufacturing of its current 4GB iPod mini, with a firmware block that restricts the usable capacity of the p…

Resource Forks: \tMy intent in this article is to argue what Apple's general direction is by pointing out several key behaviors/changes/events/products which may indicate Apple's current thinking and direction, as a company. Now, resource fork…

I'm going to wait till the new iBooks, but I've been looking at the 12" Combo drive PowerBook very closely. If you're looking for a combo drive at least, this one seems to make more sense. You get a whole lot more out of your money. The PowerBook…
