"Certain" iBooks and PowerBooks would be an understatement. I'd say it was most of them. I'm really surprised there weren't fires and more serious damage done. We had at least a half dozen of these go in our work group. I heard two stories about …

As a university person and a developer, this is a welcome move. BUT, Apple still needs to provide a mechanism to do open source projects, and I struggle to figure out how that is possible with the NDA in place (I suppose one might come up with a com…

BTW, when I first saw the title for this thread, I thought it was about AT&T's "Mobile TV" service. I'd be much more excited about that. It requires separate tuner hardware for that, as far as I know, so no chance of it on the current iPhone. …

So, in plain English, U-verse = fiber??? Uh, yeah, maybe in a decade or so, I'll be able to get fiber here. Great, more ads from AT&T for something I can't get, thus don't want. Just like Verizon (and Comcast for that matter) trying to sell m…

Well, POP e-mail appears to still be buggy. It'll get into these states where you have to reset the device just to receive mail. Battery life appears to have diminished significantly as well. I had my iPhone charged yesterday morning, barely used…

As always, some ridiculous definitions of "security" floating around here. Apple preventing you from installing software you choose to install yourself is not "security"; it is a RESTRICTION. Security is preventing someone else from installing or…

Given that the iPhone Mail client is buggy, I wouldn't recommend it either. I've already given up on it as a reliable way to check my e-mail, and only futz with it when I have 10-15 minutes to get it to work. Kind of sad because it worked great o…
