The problem with MS 'we make things for work rhetoric' is most of the market, certainly the consumer market use their computers for recreation. Step down from the tech Ivory Tower and you have ordinary folks, they probably work with PCs but in a no…

Here's another analogy... I'm a software developer, I make a piece of software. I can install the software on applicable devices - stick it on, hey presto it works. So, I want to distribute my app and maybe make some money (always useful), so …

trying using an old WIndows powered mobile phone - alarms going off at all hours - that's a feature.

£999.99GBP for the base model in Britain... Exchange rate for that amount would get me in excess of $1500US Even with VAT added, it's not even close - another Apple European rip off. I wonder if they have the gall to put prices up when VAT …

Maybe for childrens educational books... but you honestly couldn't think of a worst topic to demo their concept. For things like that people just want the information and they want it discretely. Terrible and the last thing publishing needs - …

To compare the two situations - the run in to the launch of iTunes Store and iBooks Store. iTunes Store: Opened over a year after iTunes itself and the iPod, so there was already a large number of iPods and iTunes users in the market. Apple p…

They should attack this from the piracy angle - say by not including the cost of the software they're tantamount to admitting that the driving force behind PC sales is freely available pirated software. Remember the Ballmer comment that 90% of co…

did the prices go up in the UK for the MBP's too?

Actually this is a blooming cheek! I'm sure I remember many years ago someone, possibly from Apple explaining why the prices were not reflecting the $2 to £1 - they said it was because it was just a temporary trend that would correct itself. Well…

well that's that decided - I'm going to make myself a clone - I can't be bothered with all this pissing around while Apple attempt to force the death of the desktop. I'm a part-time graphic designer. I don't need a Mac Pro, but I do need a decen…

Glossy screens, built-in speakers, what's it for, why would I need this, I don't get it's purpose, it's too niche - all reasonable points of discussion... But surely the big one has to be... £649.99!!! You've got to be having a laugh, this …

How can MS be so dumb - it's staggering... Firstly, Vista has been proved to be a poor product in the marketplace. The horse has bolted, too late to lock the stable door. Shoving an expensive marketing campaign down everyone's throats is not goin…

Maybe they'll have the decency to fix Leopard before further hampering their so-called 'valuable' customers.

Trying shopping in Europe, no 'holiday sale' and still subsidising cheaper prices in the US.

Why do they always kill the orange - I love orange - it's like Lego - why are there no orange lego bricks... It's an Orangist conspiracy

I'd love an iPhone - does O2 do a web-n-walk service like T-mobile? If they don't then Apple and O2 can whistle ain't no way I'm paying per megabyte. And no 3G is also a deal breaker - Jobs needs to get out of the valley into the real world where…

The study is flawed - people don't 'copy' texts - they write them from their head. A truer study would have been to ask the group to send a text message inviting someone to a dinner - or to text someone telling them about a film or sports event that…

The underpowered GPU is a real missed opportunity. As a games developer an iMac is the perfect machine - I can use Mac OS X for generaly document writing, graphic design, day-to-day stuff. Then boot up in Windows and do game development stuff. As…
