  in World's first Apple computer retailer to shutter operations on Mar. 30 Comment by tbruinsma March 2014

• This is very misleading. You should correctly state WHY the SIM cards will not work. Samsung employed two different hardware sets. One of the designs limits network compatibility.     Please do everyone a favor and do your research. I understand try…

• The functionality of iOS7 control center is a concept ripped directly from Android. I find it humorous that so many of the posters do not simply acknowledge that fact. The fact that apple has incorporated that interface is not a reason for debate, t…

  in iOS 7 Control Center-like Android app draws complaints from Apple, but returns to Google Play Comment by tbruinsma July 2013
• I find articles such as this to be very amusing. The article was written with a significant slant without hands on experience. It provides pundents with ammunition without first hand trials and comparisons. I will wait and see it first hand. Particu…

  in Google's Chromecast is a Roku alternative, not a cheaper Apple TV AirPlay option Comment by tbruinsma July 2013

• There are a number of android phones out today that use finger print scanners. That said, the implementation i used recently had a scanner on the power/wake button. It was notoriously frustrating to use. Hopefully apple will have a better implementa…

  in Home button fingerprint sensor in 'iPhone 5S' would give Apple a new leg up on the competition Comment by tbruinsma January 2013
