Having been at this year's WWDC, I can vouch for the WiFi problem. In fact, it often seemed to be a problem during breaks, when the free WiFi access that had been set up worked only spottily (and there was an avalanche of WiFi networks showing up wh…

Well, at least on the guy-guy side of things, I haven't yet heard of any web sites called guyswithblackberrys, guyswithandroids, or guyswithpalms yet. Let alone guyswithwindowsphones... WARNING: if you visit the alternative, *****NSFW*****

I still find the interface too cluttered with these rows of icons and menu titles. A good interface, especially for a word processing application where most documents are in portrait format, needs to cut down on the vertical screen space taken up by…

Just thinking back to the Thinksecret incident a year or two ago, that was nothing compared to this. This is an aggravated case of ethical misconduct. It is not in the public interest to reveal Apple's trade secrets to the public, unlike leaks of in…

I had the same reaction as mstone: I think this is a likely name for an online hub related to content. This especially so when you consider that media outlets have been planning their own common gateway independent of iTunes, so iGuide would be a hu…

Actually, this is kind of interesting. That they have been playing around with this elastic surface reminds me of some of the work on their proposed combination keyboard-multitouch surface that they applied for a patent for earlier.

According to Macrumors, this patent filing was made in late 2007. I sent in a feature request with the bug button when one of the new Safari betas came out around 2006-2007, asking for exactly this, even down to the mute and volume buttons in the ti…

Gakk! Two sentences in a row: ...if your on a fast connection. While the system reportedly has it's flaws... That should be "if you're on a fast connection" and "...its flaws".

I have read the whole application through and what it is mainly about (apart from the arrangement of sensors plus conducting surface and the software algorithms for distinguishing different handshapes and gestures) is a single input device that comb…

All this talk about the smudge issue with touch screens reminds me of the Apple patent from a year or so back for screens where each pixel acts not only as a display pixel but as a "micro-camera" for receiving visual information. (I don't remember w…

Is it just me, or do the two actors look not a little bit like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs? I'd be surprised if this was just coincidental...
