Why on this Earth would anyone pay money for this? The recent update of Handbrake has 1-click presets for the iPod and Apple TV. It honestly could not be any easier.

Very odd area to build an Apple Store. I don't think the area gets enough retail foot traffic to sustain that kind of rent. Most of the stores around there are small, pricy boutiques. I question bringing FIVE stores into Manhattan. Is it reall…

I am sick to death of the iPhone, and it's not even out yet. We can blame it now for the delay of Leopard and resulting hardware sales declines, not to mention the artificial withholding of a widescreen iPod. All for something that customers of on…

This is a rough 2-3 month gap between Vista and Leopard. People are ready to upgrade their computers, and Apple are staying "OK, you're buying a computer, think about Mac." But it is Mac with 10.4. How will a switcher feel paying $129 in 2-3 mo…

I really wanted to get a MB or MBP for all of my travel in the next couple of weeks. Of course I am not dumb enough to buy a Mac this close to Paris. Is it good that Apple is really waiting for Paris though? There aren't expos year-round. Int…

I'm confused. If Microsoft Office 2007 uses Visual Basic for scripting, and Microsoft Office 2008 (which I guess will be the Mac version) uses Automator and AppleScript for scripting, then exactly how can script-reliant files be at all cross-comp…

Great news. Either Apple could start selling Lossless, or they could be using these files as the basis for an allofmp3-style system, whereby you set in iTunes prefs what bitrate you'd like, and the Music Store automatically down-converts the Loss…

Quote: Originally posted by melgross It was entirely Apple's fault. When a spokesperson releases a press release to the media about a new product, the media doesn't get all excited about it in advance, because they expect something major from the…

Yes the press WAS burned, but I said Apple FEELS burned. Who reported on the "disappointment" from the iPod HiFi event? The press. For the most part, they didn't say "we really fucked things up by blowing this all out of proportion!" A lot of it…

The article says the invitation is "very limited" -- that doesn't sound right for a big huge MacBook announcement. I think that Apple feel burned by the negative reaction from the iPod HiFi media event. They probably think that people might reac…

I would love a device like this. The UMPCs that just came out are HIDEOUS. I know Apple could really do it right. Imagine... in iPod white or black, smaller bezel, with a clickwheel on one side, maybe a Mighty Mouse nipple on the other In…

$10 a month for ONE show is absolutely preposterous!

So all of a sudden, the headphone port is going back on the top? I don't buy it. I WANT it, but I'm not buying this is it

I still have to wonder about the viability of Apple buying out Adobe and continuing development for both Mac and Windows platforms... I mean, Apple DOES do Windows software now (Quicktime, iTunes). Plus, it would be superb insurance. Microsof…
