I think it's very funny to contrast Kanye West with Taylor Swift. When she thought that Apple shoukd do something (pay artists during trial periods) she made a cogent, rational argument to which Apple responded right away. Kanye West on the other ha…

The DA was later heard to say that "the phone may also contain proof that the pyramids were landing pads for alien spaceships."

I assume that one of the first things Tim Cook did was to ask his hardware engineers to get started moving the autowipe feature into the ARM processor silicon so that this government mandated workaround won't work with future generations of iPhones.

konqerror said: Healthy? Ha! 690.5 from 687 = increase of 1/2 of 1 percent. They're not even keeping up with inflation. Considering that the price points for iPhone stay the same at each yearly release, yes it is very healthy and "inflati…

Well we stream video everyday while heavy duty OSX updates are a much more infrequent proposition. If you want to buy a connection that lets you download a multi gigabyte update in minutes, feel free. I'd rather optimize for my day-to-day requiremen…

It is true that there's not much point in getting speeds over 25 Mbps. That's more than enough capacity for two simultaneous video streams. I only got 50 Mbps service because my bundle was cheaper at 50 than at 25 (go figure). One could legitimately…

I don't understand your comments vis-a-vis speedtest. You seem to have a pretty good idea of all the factors that affect actual performance when browsing a web page, i.e. multiple resource fetches, handoffs to other servers/network segments, server …

TouchID on the iPad (Mini or Air) makes them both secure. Without TouchID it is a pain to use a complicated password, with TouchID it's a breeze, just like on the iPhone. My main concern with my iPad mini has been is that it's the "insecure" device …

That's rein, not reign (or even rain). rein in verb 1. stop or slow up one's horse or oneself by or as if by pulling the reins; "They reined in in front of the post office" [syn: rein] 2. control and direct with or as if by reins; "rein a horse" …
