Used iOS6 maps on recent trip to Eastern Sierras, and loved it! Absolutely accurate, fun to use and reassuring. I've had automobile nav systems for almost ten years, and none compare. Every nav system goofs up occasionally. The criticisms of App…

Would you want Apple to dummy down iOS6 just so it would be compatible with 1st gen iPad? This is too limiting, and ignores the competitive pressures from Android, Amazon, Microsoft et al. Best that Apple focuses on making the very best sof…

We are able to "purchase" music and film on iTunes for very low $ precisely because it cannot be re-sold or given to others. In practice, it is highly unlikely that Mr. Willis' music and video collection would cease being available to his heirs, …

In many ways, Samsung is the winner in this trial. It went from the low-tier of cell phone makers to the very top of the market (in numbers sold, not profits) on the basis of stolen IP. Now it has to pay a small fraction of the profits it has ma…

Not sure of the legalities, but this is the type of innovation that makes Apple the world's most valuable company ... ever!

This was a bad fit right from the start. The Apple Store is a special place and its staffers are the cream of the retail crop. This was a bad move and I hope his contract is bought out and that he is on his way back to England on the next f…

Today, Samsung's expert witness stated that $27,000 is the appropriate cost to "work around" Apple patents. How many "pages" were submitted to Judge Koh to certify his expertise? Since these submissions obviously do not root out incompetent witn…

Thank you, Apple, for having the courage to stand-up for what is right.

This direction for "Apple TV" is vastly superior to entering the commoditized flat screen market. Let Sony, Sharp, Vizio, et al fight over the big box. That market stinks, with low margins, high stocking and shipping expenses, and a gener…

The stay shows that infringers have the advantage with the slow judicial process trumping the rapid product cycle in smartphones. It puts innovative companies at a huge disadvantage.

Apple always surprises with better margins than Street estimates. It negotiates for better and better pricing, so what it paid "yesterday" shouldn't be rolled 1:1 into forecasts.

Dimensions look right, but the workmanship, even for a mock-up looks too "basement" to me.

Redux of AMZN's Kindle Fire. Lose on the hardware and hope to make up on content sales. I predict same outcome ... initial sales enthusiasm followed by deadly silence.

Lost in much of the conversation are the benefits, such as health insurance, stock options and employee discounts that Apple pays. I visit my local Apple Store at the Natick (MA) Mall several times a month. I pass by a Lululemon store down the a…

This decision is a real blow to IP and by extension to every innovative company's R & D. The courts are allowing copycat manufacturers to prosper, denying relief and then saying "live with it." In the context of the fast pace of product deve…

In complete agreement. The security issue is a ruse in that IBM's messages are drops in a very big ocean - nearly impossible to separate, and undoubtedly impossible to screen for nefarious business intelligence. BTW, does Apple really care what …

Apples' "Agency Model" encouraged a wider selection of e-books to be released coincident with the conventional hardback books. Prior to Apple's entry into the field, publishers withheld new titles from the ebook market. The DoJ's arguments …

Dan Hesse is a true leader. Kudos for protecting your employees and returning your bonus (even though it was well earned)!
