If all Gooligan wants to do is boost some app ratings and force more ads to appear on your wannabe-iPhone, then I would have to agree: why would Android users even care? Par for the course, where they live. Soli: I'm skeptical of your Cydia compari…

Great article overall, but this one line made my day in particular: "Unlike Microsoft a decade ago, today's Apple has not only never significantly failed in any major new product category over the past decade, but has instead consistently turned for…

The dual-camera system is also capable of simulating shallow depth of field, or "Bokeh." It uses machine learning to recognize people and faces, then creates a depth map to keep people in focus while the background is blurry.I have a couple question…

Mike Daisey is on top of this, right?

Not to be a nit-picker, but the original NeXT computer had a two-bit, not four-bit, greyscale display. But with two bits per pixel, it could produce four shades of grey (black, dark grey, light grey, and white), and dithering these greys could produ…

Great observations about Google's efforts to drag desktop search into the future. They remind me of Intel's attempts to drag the x86 ISA into the future -- I wonder if Google will have more success than did Intel! Also I would like to comment that …

This may have already been said earlier in the thread (it's four pages plus now)... but I feel the need to vent: There's no such thing as a legal order to do the impossible! And it's illegal to arrest somebody for not doing something that can't be …

When I had my first of many sad, Dilbert-like jobs, in the late '80s to early '90s, we had a little free program on our Macs (yes, Macs), that would encrypt and decrypt individual files. The program's documentation contained dire warnings that there…

Why does the FBI need Apple's cooperation at all? Can't they just hire hackers to do what they want? And no, they don't need Apple to digitally "sign" their hacked copy of iOS, because they can simply replace that iPhone 5c's ROM chip(s) with altere…

Let me get this straight: If you purposely omit a high-dollar-but-low-growth store from your statistics about a given mall, then the average growth will be higher? Quick, call the National Guard. Will somebody please inform Mr. Mathrani that this w…

Remember their internal "Droidfood" campaign from November of three years ago? I guess they must've decided that at the three-year mark they were going to have to take stronger action to move their employees in the right direction.

b9bot says: "Mike Daisy is a troll that will write anything to get money." Sort-of. I don't think he would write a pro-Apple piece to make money. I think most of these alleged click-trolls really do have hatred of Apple at their core. Why? Because e…

koop: Probably most of the Dilger-generated clicks from this article are coming to AppleInsider, not to The Guardian. And if you're really bothered by the smell of thin-skinned people pooping their pants, it might be past time to change your own und…

Among tried-and-true naysayers, "there's no denying Apple's had an incredible run," has become the de facto standard way to claim impartiality just before casting mindless, purely speculative aspersions on the company's future. Just ask Fabrice Grin…

Note that in order to drop from 65.9% (about 2/3) of the company's profits, two years ago, to 32.4% (about 1/3) today, other things being equal, mobile profits must fall not 50%, but 75%! To see this, let's call their non-mobile profits 10 as a base…

If you re-do the Total rows to include everyone but Apple (i.e. Windows PCs), you find that worldwide shipments fell 8.3%, not 7.7%, and in the U.S. grew 0.3%, not 1.3%.

Fantastic article! Glad to see Dilger's back from his travels. As the proud owner of four AAPL shares, I'm hoping this makes a difference in the ongoing price. By the way, when Apple buys back shares, it retires them, so it's not really an investme…

In politics, "Do it for the children!" is a time-honored trump card, not dissimilar to the race card and the Hitler card. It means, "Agree with me now, or you're a demon from hell and that's all there is to it!"

This podcast was an interesting and intelligent conversation, but I would like to point out one thing: We heard that Apple used to "grossly underestimate" their guidance, and that it was a "running joke on Wall Street," and that they now have "more …

Once again, these guys lump Apple together with Microsoft OEMs in their "Total" row. No row for Windows PCs, but you can do the math yourself by subtracting the Apple numbers from the "Total" numbers, and see how Windows PCs fared. For example, IDC…
