Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't about half of the patent lawsuits Apple's in or been in lately a result of Apple being sued first (defensive countersuits and all that)? I know they've initiated a few, but not every patent dispute lately was star…

Kudos to Apple and all their hard work, but I don't understand why anyone is surprised by Nokia being passed up by another company and I also don't understand why so many people talk about Nokia like they're so special. They're not. I've owned a…

No Rosetta, no deal. And that goes for both of my Macs at home and all the ones I oversee at my workplace where PPC app support is still needed. I understand Apple not wanting to carry legacy code any longer than necessary but why it can't be mad…

Would love to be a fly on the wall of some editor's offices today, especially when they call in the tech writers who have been claiming tablet/iPad sales are dying. How did that stupid meme get started anyway? I've seen at least a half-dozen article…

Quote: For their part, HTC and Samsung have accused Apple of resorting to litigation instead of competing fairly in the market. Ah, nice to see HTC and Samsung being so innovative when it comes to irony.

Apple could accelerate this by making their iOS developer program free. I've never fully understood the $99 charge to get your app into the App Store. I understand it probably helps them offset the costs of hosting and distributing your software, bu…
