  • What will happen eventually is, those labels that wish to sell DRM-free tracks will only be available as iTunes Plus. 256 kbps, 99c. The average user won't notice any difference except the little Plus. If a track is available as iTunes Plus, it'll o…
  • Technically, all iPod chargers will charge all iPods pretty much. I've been using a bunch of different iPod chargers I have around the house with my iPhone and I haven't had any problems.
  • A question for those who have tested it: how large should a typical Time Machine backup drive be? I understand that this will vary with our use etc., but let's assume that I have an iMac with a 320 GB disk, about 100 GB of it available. WHat size dr…
  • Sure. Hack on. Just save your Digg outrage when Apple refuses to service your h4x0red device. Seeing how you're big h4x0rz, you'll be able to fix them yourself anyway, right?
  • Glad to see AAPL climbing still. The next-to-last sentence is hardly the crux of the article, but it's bound to be discussed the most (hey, new products!) For my part, I expect a new iPhone as well, but... new iPod? No way.

  • I see your point, but here's another way to look at it: as someone who bought an iPhone on June 30 and who has a long, long wishlist of features I'd like to see on it, my attitude toward my iPhone can best be described as, "it just works." No, serio…
  • On the issue of 3rd party apps... There is currently no SDK or framework or set of guidelines for iPhone apps. Developing that sort of documentation and meta-applications is a task quite separate from making iPhone's OS and applications. Apple ha…
  • - Is Copy not showing up in Edit or is it just grayed out? - If it's grayed out, have you selected the icon in the top-right corner of the Get Info window? Does the icon have a blue selection halo? A lot of people select the big Preview image in…
  • I live in Portland and I visit Seattle often. No problems with the coverage - it's the same as any other major city. As with every wireless provider out there, you'll probably hear a bunch of complaints about AT&T, so here's my $.02: I switch…
  • No, it will not.

  • Ireland, what does voice chat have to do with this? What Filburt is saying is that if you had an open connection to an IM server while on EDGE, you wouldn't be able to receive incoming calls - an important function of the phone. This already happens…
  • The Real Reason to Sue Chevrolet On their website, they claim that Chevy is "An American Revolution". The Random House Unabridged Dictionary defines "revolution" as "an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established gover…
  • Filburt, that's the first time I've heard that explanation. Either you're a genius or you heard it from one.
  • In answer to the original question: I found this surprising too. Also, I went to a Starbucks in Seattle that had a huge poster announcing "iTunes at Starbucks" at the entrance, and my iPhone couldn't see the store.
  • Here's a simple explanation: Flash would run terribly on iPhone. People keep forgetting two things: how small and slow iPhone CPU is, and what a hog Flash is. On my three-year-old PowerBook G4, most Flash run noticeably choppy. Yet iPhone is doze…
  • My home + freelance use computer is a new, aluminum iMac, 24". Before that I had a PowerBook G4 15". I also have an iPhone, which pretty much eliminates the need to have a laptop for me. At my dayjob (software development) I use an old HP laptop…

  • A-freakin'-men, Kuehn. When a business breaks a promise (as opposed to a contract), you can vent your dissatisfaction by choosing not to do business with them; expecting them to compensate you with goods is the sort of cry-baby behavior that won…
