C'mon guys. What part of + Vista "inspirations" don't you get?

It's been time for a while now for Apple to make some improvements for the iTS. 1. Upgrade iTS song quality from 128 to 192. 2. Offer incentives for buying albums (e.g. single song purchases create discounts for buying an album). 3. (this is th…

Gizmodo is just being cheeky. I don't know if the "Illuminous" name is correct (though I kinda like it, and like what it portends), but I'll bet anything Jobs will announce a refreshed UI for the big Leopard preview at MWSF with a brand new name,…

Folks. "Enterprise" in the computer industry has a very specific meaning. It means the huge market of computers for large mainstream businesses. The creative departments of large media and broadcast organizations is *not* "Enterprise". Thi…

WHERE DO THEY FIND THESE "ANALYSTS"???? C'mon, it's so freakin' obvious this acquisition has *nothing* to do with Enterprise or even iLife for the near-term.... it's for Final Cut Pro. FCP asset management has long been completely missing; it's …

Not a chance. Apple has little to no understanding of the non-casual game market, and very little interest. Any hiring of game developers is almost certainly about more small, casual games for the iPod / iPhone. Which is a good thing, for s…

Apple will announce their Leopard upgrade policy when they officially announce Leopard's ship date (possibly Jan '07 at MSWF, but who knows, it may be still just a preview). In the past, if you bought a Mac with an older OS version on or after th…

Good lord, they're going to sell something like 18-20 million iPods this holiday... if that estimate didn't include the 2G Shuffle. It's already the #1 seller on Apple's online store.

They're real. The new Leopard UI hasn't been dropped in yet, though, so don't worry too much about it looking incomplete and kinda sloppy. By the way, I strongly suspect these snapshots were grabbed from this thread, which preceded the "World of…

Ouch, ouch, ouch.

I find it's worth giving OS X a little time -- and learn some of the shortcuts and tricks -- before dismissing it. For example, re window management: command-tab plus hiding (command-H, or option-clicking) still remains the best way for me to ma…

Apple could -- and would -- sell a *ton* of Apple-branded external drives with Macs running Leopard & Time Machine. I think it's a no-brainer.

Interesting. So it seems Apple will be going the MVNO route after all.

I had to pick "new Finder," but I find the current Finder decent (if far from perfect). What would actually make me happiest: an updated UI, across the board. A complete visual and UI refreshment, with much deeper use of Spotlight. Including …

Wouldn't it be cool if Apple sold, alongside Leopard, sleek, Apple-branded external hard drives (call 'em Time Capsules)? With one pricier model w/ wireless -- that would automatically connect to your laptop at home and back it up via Time Mac…
