Typo alert: "...[B]former[/B] Apple CEO John Sculley." Just in case there's a reader who has been in a coma since the early 90's...

Don't know if anybody has noticed, but desktop machines haven't had any significant spec changes in the last four years. CPU power has increased 30% at best in that time. Can't say that there's a compelling need for machines - especially in the mark…

Yeah, I agree that the automobile industry is not some upper echelon of innovation compared to consumer electronics. What Apple has going for them is a very keen sense of what is wrong with certain product lines and how to improve them. They can off…

Great. Took them long enough.

I think he overestimates the R&D and resources needed to make one or two cars. Apple clearly isn't bucking to be the next GM, which is a bloated bureaucracy with too many products that don't differentiate themselves from one another very clearly…

Just want to say, I'm getting tired of the "S" suffix. And numbers for that matter. Just call the next iPhone, "iPhone." Plus is alright I guess. iPhone and iPhone plus. Though I guess for simplicities sake, they'd have to stop selling previous mode…

I never tried this in iOS 8.4, but music videos either crash the the app while playing, or trying to make a music video available offline will crash the app every single time. Even after a reboot. I sent a bug report to Apple. Anybody else seeing th…

Giving Apple the benefit of the doubt, I am not sure that they are worried so much about "X number of minority employees" (which is anti-competitive), as they are about making sure they aren't ruling out sources of new talent in places outside their…

I don't understand this decision by Apple to launch this new segment of their business at the expense of the record labels, even if they do get paid slightly more per stream after the free trials start converting to paid memberships. Assuming a gene…

I understood that a major bone of contention with Spotify on the back end was how little they were paying the smaller labels, even for hundreds of thousands of streams, which would yield royalty payments less than $20US sometimes. If that is true, S…

Not sure why this is news. Apple has a massive delivery infrastructure to deal with, and if trained audio professionals can't discern uncompressed audio from HE-AAC at 256 Kbps with statistically significant results, why in the world would they quad…

I am a career audio engineer and have high resolution playback systems at my disposal. Still to this day, I have trouble hearing any significant difference between well-encoded iTunes plus tracks (usually Mastered for iTunes fare) and uncompressed 2…

The Beats One page on Apple's website has many more genres listed than club music, hip-hop, and alternative rock.

Several people have pointed to Pandora One as being a superior option because it is cheaper. However, Pandora is not an on-demand streaming service in the same vein as Spotify and Apple Music, where you an listen to any song in the catalog at the mo…

This seems a step in the right direction, but what needs to happen is some kind of system to seamlessly integrate an iPhone into the body of a camera via the Lightning port. Let the iPhone be the brains and add its special abilities to the camera bo…

Definitely not Apple's problem - directly. I had two cards that I added to Apple Pay, and both required verification - a phone call verifying my date of birth and last 4 of my SSN. But adding my wife's AMEX didn't require any verification. Anybody c…

I am an audio engineer, and do also mastering work in a variety of formats. Material that is mastered for iTunes using Apple's processing software and guidelines, when done competently, is almost impossible to distinguish from the "lossless" formats…
