I know a lot of you will consider this pedantic, but I like to think of it as a learning opportunity. The phrase the article's author wanted is "free rein". That refers to letting your horse go where it wants (or even stand still) as opposed to di…

Meanwhile, the analyst said his sources are also indicating that Apple's new (PRODUCT) RED iPod nanos are selling well. "These iPods are sold through Apple direct channels, have a unique red color, and are for a charitable cause where Apple dona…

Dammit, Apple! Knock off the camera integration, willya? I know this is a rumor, but they stuck one in the iMacs and that's not promising. I work in a classified environment and cameras in the Mac (or the Cinema Display) translates directly to "W…

Xrist, I hope Apple stops doing this kind of value-add crap. I work in a classified government installation and Apple could well end up making themselves unusable in my environment. Their love of BlueTooth and AirPort, while laudable in the mass m…
