Assembly in the USA makes sense for big bulky things where the savings of overseas assembly isn't enough to offset the cost of shipping. PowerMac and Mac Pro towers and Xserves were (are?) assembled in Elk Grove, California (near Sacramento) and …

Staid, you say? What airports have you been hanging out in? "Sedate, respectable, and unadventurous" doesn't describe the loud, drunk, sunburnt passengers I seem to encounter of late.

The EU is requiring micro USB as a standard, yeah. There's been talk of Apple just supplying an adapter to go between that and the 30-pin connector. But honestly, micro USB is smaller than 30-pin, and not just by a little bit - by a lot. It would…

deck chairs.

Please don't confuse these two ideas. By almost any standard - number of employees, number of products sold, square footage of land or buildings - there are companies "larger" than Apple. But most valuable? Heck yeah.

Next time I visit a classroom to give a presentation on something, I want to do it from my iPhone4. Kids think it's cool when I show them stuff off my MBP13, but straight from the phone would really get their attention.

It's been a few years since they added support for the Hawaiian language (which was almost extincted back in the first half of the 20th century, but has rebounded since due to major educational efforts). I remember how excited I was about that, as …

That sounds like PSP games won't play on it, and PSP Go games won't play on it, and... yeah, you get the idea. Buy this phone, then re-buy all your games. Let me know how that works out for you, Sony.

I had a PowerBook G4 17" - top-of-the-line. After I got my MacBook, I put the PowerBook on a shelf for several months, then booted it up, noticed it was acting weird, sent it in to AppleCare, and it got rejected because the sensors were tripped, an…

...is working again for me, at the moment.

That's the main thing that's been broken for me (although I will welcome the return of the green button going to mini-player mode!) I don't have an Airport Express here at the office... guess I'll just have to leave work early and go home to test…

I think you meant the company official said it "will have" a superior browser. he was referring to Windows Mobile 6.5, which will allegedly be on a Motorola phone real soon now, like maybe next month.

I have a month-old 13" MBP with a bog-standard 160GB Hitachi drive. No 7200rpm or anything like that. It's my first machine with Leopard, and it has sporadic issues with things just hanging for 10 seconds or so. "spindump" kicks in, and reports i…

Both of 'em. (In all seriousness, I used to work with a WO guy about 10 years back... he's retired now.)

One would think that the method by which the iPod syncs to iTunes would constitute "proprietary" information, and if former employees happened to take that information to a competitor and implement it there, Apple Legal would get involved. Maybe …

I had dinner with 3 people from MS last night; 2 of them had iPhones and the third was waiting for the next hardware revision to get one. None of them were from the MacBU either... in fact, a couple of them were working on Windows 7
