As an owner of PS3, it better have significantly improved UI to make it worthwhile. PS3 UI is an absolute nightmare to use. If it hasn't changed much from the Japanese version, it would be a throughly disgusting UI.

For me to preorder iWatch on day 1, I would like: 1. Health sensors to replace the likes of Fitbit and FuelBand (and hopefully more extensive set of sensors). 2. Good battery life, at least 3 days. 3. Wireless charging. 4. Hands-free Siri. 5. Notif…

One of the mistakes Apple made when it launched iPhone 5 is not including a Lightning to 30-pin Adapter in the packaging. If Apple chooses to go with this route, and I think size saving could be worth it, it would be wise to include a hybrid Light…

Most folks who would buy such product would probably opt for QX100, so I am a bit disappointed that AppleInsider chose to review QX10 instead. Having said that, usage issues and quirks are very good to know, and they reinforce my long held belief th…

I hate to defend Samsung, but here goes. Region locking may derail unlocked movement, but it is still superior to carrier locking. Provided one can unlock the phone once contract obligation is fulfilled or unlocked phone is also available at unsub…

Compressed memory sounds great on paper, but I am skeptical of the feature working well in the real world. Automatic reference counting introduced in Lion actually increased memory consumption (since cycles are often common and they are not dealloca…

Sigh. Google is still trying to pass web apps as apps? Google, we all know that web apps are websites.

Perhaps the biggest reasons against freemium games is how ridiculous these in-app currencies cost. Freemium games should have a maximum ceiling of $49.99 or so (certainly not higher than $99.99), at which point the game should convert to premium g…

My #1 problem with most Newsstand apps isn't price. It's the download size of each issue. A typical issue of Car & Driver, for instance, weighs in at 200MB and up. That is just too much for something I may read just once or twice. Each issue s…

Compared to iMac, Mac mini has inferior spec and costs more when comparably equipped. Having said that, I prefer Mac mini simply because it is headless. I had two iMacs in the past and both died due to dust accumulation (which in turn caused the l…

The Transit App (free, with premium features as subscription) is another good one.

While dynamic hybrid cursor is nice and all, Apple really needs to improve default cursors. It is often very difficult to locate where the pointer is.

I came very close to buying Sparrow apps during promo period. I am glad I didn't pull the trigger.
