Is it so hard to design a machine which is unique, yet easy to produce in large amounts? Is it so hard to put the iMac internals into a cube whose side is the size of a MacMini? It would be nice looking, small, easy to produce, and provide far bet…

Given how cheap 256GB SSDs are nowadays, the only reasonable explanation I can imagine to this strong promotion of "Fusion drives" is that somebody (either Apple or a partner) has a worrying stock of 128GB SSDs and they don't know how to get rid o…

I suggest the "I do whatever Apple wishes" people to stop defending what cannot be defended. I consider Apple products superior to the competitors, and that's why I use them, by I won't applaud Apple when they made a mistake, and releasing Maps in…

Patenting this is more questionable than patenting the push button. There's a lot of previous art ignored by this patent. Btw, Skim (and many other document readers) infringe this patent.

The only thing that worries me is the mention of the HD4600. Please, Apple, stop using Intel GPUs. Yes, no matter how "good" they're. Please stop it. Only decent GPUs from today on, please.

Although it seems a poor-in-facts story, I must say I find the iPad weight too heavy for wearing it the whole day. Its weight falls not too far away of the Macbook Air, with the difference that the MBA runs OSX. On the other hand, the iPad Mini is…

Yes, cool design, and nice pricing too, but, unfortunately, they chose to not support pure SSD (except for the 768GB SSD option, which is a joke). The Mac Mini was almost perfect: Good CPU, good pure SSD (256GB), and good RAM (16GB). But wit…

All these issues about management changes and "racing" to improve Maps, were caused by Apple, and Apple only. If they had hold Maps until it was ready to beat Google, none of these problems would happen. But no, they had to publicly prove how stup…

Finally, an interesting rumor!!! (I was quite bored of iOS rumors) I'd like to have a new Mac Pro with as few mechanical parts as possible (no HD, fan-less PSU... and if the whole computer can be designed with just one fan, better than two).
