As someone who "develops" flash for a living, trust me it's not Flash that you don't want on your mobile device, it's the programs that are made using Flash that you don't want on your mobile device. Memory leaks, poor code optimization, and a ho…

...in other words, next year when all MacBooks drop the optical drive, iLife will similarly drop iDVD altogether.

On storage: SSD is undoubtably the future, and waiting only for prices to come down. I could see the optical drive being dropped in tandem with the adoption of SSD as standard, making the MacBook and MacBook Pro's the thinnest laptop computers wi…

Apple aren't working on a 15" MacBook Air. They're dropping the optical drive from all their laptops. By next year, optical drives will be an optional extra and the "Air" model will be absorbed back into the MacBook line.

Gruber said it best at the launch of the original iPhone, when he said the market was now divided between those who want a free handset, and those who want an iPhone. There's little reason now to pay for a handset that isn't an iPhone, and I'm ju…

I could see them rolling out the wireless optical drive software solution that they introduced with the MacBook Air (that is, ship a laptop with no optical drive to shave off weight + cost, and then offer the optical drive as an external option for …

Regardless of whether these are fake or not (I vote fake), they're not exactly imaginative. Ok, so the MacBook revision would bring an Air keyboard and aluminum enclosure? And if the MacBook Pros get only-glossy screens I know more than a few people…

Well this makes sense, given that the iPod platform: a.) gives Apple better margins (they make more money per Touch than per iPhone, presumably). b.) is headed towards iPod Touch (hence the renaming of the non-Touch, 'Classic'). As in, for all…

So I guess all those engineers pulled over to work on the iPhone are back at their day job, eh?

So I guess the new MacBook nano will have a mini cd drive then?

I think it's pretty clear, based on how Apple handled the previous roll outs, that the strings are inserted just in case, and in no way indicate that any deals have been made. To say TIM is the frontrunner is to ignore their past behavior. From w…

First up, it's not $79 for the iMovie '08 upgrade alone... there are other apps in there. Secondly, iMovie '08 does not overwrite iMovie '06 if you already have it installed. Anytime you make such a drastic change to an app that many people use, …

With more apps moving into the Dashboard (iChat, iTunes, Safari, etc. all have Dashboard-based interfaces to do a majority of functions), it seems like we might be spending more and more time in Dashboard itself. This makes sense, since it appear…

I agree with those who are saying a mini is the better option, but I'll go one better and suggest a TOTAL media setup for the home, centered around a mini. Please let me know if you think this is so crazy: 1 mini in the living room, with a bunch …

The problem is that the 8GB black nano is priced the same as the 30GB iPod with Video, so for the same money you get a lot more. There's not enough differentiation between the 4GB and 8GB nano's, since there's not a whole lot you can do with 8 th…

I can't wait. I'll finally be able to listen to what everyone else is playing on the train ride to work every morning. That's exactly why I bought an iPod. So I can listen to what someone else chooses. Apart from the fact that it'll suck battery …

Something like this?
