WSJ needs a device to test it's application on it. A native app can do more than Flash, and way better. If they were to use flash there was no point having a device or make an app for that matter. The take away from this report (it's not a rumor,…

Most of the comments against iPhone OS on iPad and iPhone OS in general imply that there is substantial difference between the two. It is important to understand that the main difference between iPhone OS and the Mac OS is the framework used for …

This mock up does not take into consideration the necessity of a plastic cover of the antenna back side. It is there on both 1st gen iPhone and 3G enabled iPad.

The general wisdom suggests that without strong competition a product will stagnate over time. Apple does need competition, but this is mostly to keep reasonable pricing and wider distribution (e.g. with all carriers). As far as the OS developmen…

Apple did a lot of FS related changes in Snow Leopard. One of the [several] reasons behind dropping 64-bit Carbon could be the future change of the FS in mind. In Cocoa, the internal implementation of the filesystem is well abstracted and Cocoa appl…

Just to make it clear: Aperture is a Cocoa app, the rest of the Pro apps are Carbon. Aperture could benefit a lot from OpenCL and GCD. Both technologies are well suited for this kind of work and "parallelizing" the code in this particular case is al…

The new iMac are great IMO! I have a 2007 24" iMac (1st gen aluminum iMac) and still don't really need a replacement but the new macs make me want to buy one! I am considering moving the 24" to the kids and getting 4 core for myself, seriously!

I managed to read till the middle of the second page of this thread, so please excuse if someone already mentioned the obvious: Besides refusing to give away to Adobe half of the computing resources and battery life available on the iPhone, for f…

As I mentioned before, the question whether the Tablet (if real) is using desktop OS-es or iPhone OS is stupid. Both OS use the same foundation and different UI layer. Apparently, the tablet will have specific UI needs to be addressed because:the iP…
