I agree that i think if there was a way someone can track active (aka, used in the last month) devices it would be a more realistic market share view. Too bad the companies that post mobile internet traffic usage statistics can't do it. That would a…

This seems pretty normal to me for the Olympics. Promotional Sponsors are gold at these events, so this is expected. Any cell phone maker who sponsored the Olympics would have had similar requests, this one just happens to be Samsung. Granted, App…

I also agree with what others are saying about Tesla. I know this is already been flagged as a "stupid idea by people who don't know Apple" but honestly, this would be a good play. Currently, Tesla is the Apple of the auto industry. It's green, hi…

Yeah, market expectations were way too high. Apple more than beat the estimates that they outlined for themselves, which under Cook have been way more aggressive than Jobs' low balling numbers.

There is plenty of evidence that supports Apple's "price-fixing" scheme actually de-monopolized the Amazon "sell-at-a-loss" strategy, allowed new entries like the Nook to be somewhat profitable, etc, turning a 1 horse e-book race into a healthy comp…

I think the NYT article is a little more realistic, all of the pictures from twitter/instagram/etc are mostly unconfirmed and speculative (especially the one of a long line outside of who knows where and who knows when). To be honest, I'm not sure…

Meh, you guys are a little overzealous. I don't think making a metal phone is that crazy of a copying scheme, I can't imagine Apple has the concept of a metal phone all to themselves. This isn't as blatant as some of their other design decisions.

I'm in the market for a new car soon because a baby is on the way and every car I've looked at so far seems pretty much the same. I have to admit that, as dumb as this sounds, a major selling piece for me would be iOS in the Car. I am not sure what …

You would think that they simply give them a warning and tell them to stop requiring the carriers to email sales to them for approval. Definitely sounds like Taiwan's FTC is just fishing for free money anyway they can.

For a second there, from the title, I thought "starting over" was about Apple's 64-bit chip...

I think the Lenovo CEO is very smart and doing the right thing. After seeing 30% revenue jump and only selling phones in a fraction of the markets that Samsung sells in, they're obviously on the right track. He's smart for recognizing that ther…

Wonder if someone's going to get fired at DoCoMo for making the decision to hold out. It basically ruined the company's market lead.

I'm definitely pro-Apple but you guys are wrong about a few things. 1) The article pits manufacturer's tablet lineup against manufacturer's tablet lineup... which is fair. Not iPad vs all Androids tablets. 2) Even though only Apple reports it's sa…

I wonder if there could be an issue with Apple's touch technology, since it's based on some biometrics (heat/electrical signal) that robots aren't 100% able to replicate with a rubber end piece (also explains why styluses suck so badly on iPads but …
