How close do people look at their screens? I'm about 40/45cm - 16/18 inches away so I wonder do I actually get close enough to benefit from these high resolution screens?

Charlituna said Quote: Because the laws are defect at delivery from the seller. It's not as simple as that - at least under UK law. Here it's possible to have cover against defects that develop later if the produ…

I'm sure Apple would love to introduce a cheap model because of the importance of locking people into the IOS ecosystem as early as possible, but I believe what's holding them back is fear of cannibalising the rest of their product line. I th…

Apple sells more touch tablets than all the other companies in the world put together - but somehow it still doesn't have 'market share'? How much of a market does one company need before it can be described as having 'market share'?

I think there's two misconceptions that a lot of the posters here make: 1. Apple doesn't want market share. 2. Customers don't want basic products. Well... 1. Apple is proving with the Ipad that it wants market share. 2. The Ipo…

I assume a more realistic way of stating his stock awards would be to say it's equivalent to a ten year contract worth $37.6m a year. I presume the reason for giving his pay in stock is to act as an incentive to wisely steer the company over …

Well that's one up for Apple Maps: I'd rather be misdirected to 'Murray Sunset National Park' than 'Wild Dog Road'.

I seem to remember AI reporting a fairly recent interview with Tim Cook when he said it wasn't worth Apple manufacturing in the US, and then several months later reporting him announcing that Apple was going to do just that. The discrepancy struck…

A truly 'smart' to do list would perform the actions on the list for you.

I'm surprised by some of the posters here suggesting that ordinary, non-technical users don't install RAM. My last purchase was a Mac Mini and I saved a considerable amount of money on the RAM even allowing for the fact that I took out the Apple m…

It depresses me thinking what percentage of the spending of technology firms gets sucked into legal fees grappling with the broken patent system. Without it, I imagine a Mac would cost about a third, knowing how much lawyers charge.

I find it remarkable that the online Apple Store won't sell you an Imac at the moment. Another thing that struck me as remarkable is I went into the Regents Street Apple Store in central London (which is a very big store) and right at the back cor…

In UK, we have just had a very amusing Parliamentary committee investigating tax paid by multinationals. What Starbucks said to the Parliamentary committee: Troy Alstead said Starbucks paid almost no tax in the UK because it made no mone…

My understanding of the law in the UK is: Under the Sale Of Goods Act 1979 Section 14-2, the 'durability' of a product must be what... 'a reasonable person would regard as satisfactory, taking account of any description of the goods, the pr…

Is there anything about a hybrid drive that an ordinary old-fashioned user needs to be aware of? Or do I just consider it as exactly the same as a single hard drive? Does it appear the same as a single hard drive to software, for example backup prog…

I used to enjoy reading the comments sections of AI because each contributor would add something from their area of expertise that gave me a more rounded understanding of the technical issues. Unfortunately I'm sad that it has largely been taken o…

Non-reflective screens seems MUCH better to me. Tell me, why doesn't Apple offer non-reflective screens on Macs as an option? The only reason I've ever seen given on this forum is: 'If you don't like it go somewhere else'.

It would be more useful to Samsung if Apple had to post that the Samsung Tablet WAS a copy of an Ipad.

If an Imac hard drive fails - you have to take the Imac apart to replace it. If an external stacked hard drive fails on a Mac Mini it's simple to replace. If the Imac motherboard fails - well I think the Imac is a right-off. But with a Mac Mini …
