From a user point of view, having several Maps apps is a loss of time and also increases the risk of cluttering. The way Apple should have fight against Google Maps is exactly the way they dropped PowerPC: They only released Intel support when it …

Very good news. Apple shouldn't have released Maps until it was ready for competing with Google Maps outside the US. Apple has made more mistakes these last months than in the whole history of the company. Said that, I wish that Apple Maps arrives…

If every smart UI idea is going to be patented, the game is over. Small developers cannot play this. The future of software and apps is Apple, Google and Microsoft. The rest of us, mere mortals, better go to a farm and start planting tomatoes and…

Nice to have iMac rumors, but what I really miss in this moment is the new Mac Pro. It was said to be coming in 2013, but we know nothing about it. It's fine that Apple is releasing cool looking products with somewhat difficult assembly, but, in t…

Apple isn't being fair with the Fusion Drive. Yes, it's a cool invention, but they're not saying all the truth here: It looks like they've a huge stock of 128GB SSD and they don't know how to sell them. Otherwise, they'd allow you to choose betwee…

OSX Sardine (not a feline, but plenty of vitamins and omega3 for felines)

While it's true that Apple said they were going to release OSX on a yearly basis, I wouldn't be surprised if they changed that policy now that Jonny Ive will be designing the HI, because such work can take time.

As a former SGI developer, I loved the MIPS design, and I'd wish to see the MIPS architecture alive again, although I suppose this is an acquisition with other interests rather than the MIPS architecture itself.
-
Shocking that everybody is worried about the possible Intel->ARM transition, which actually isn't of any concern because if/when that happens, performance of both architectures will be similar. However, the article _does_ have a worrying …

Jony Ive takes this task in a moment where computer design is in crisis: After the development and commercial success of "mobile toys" from several vendors, all computer operating systems have tried to get inspired by the success from tablets/phon…

Please, can we finally have OpenCL support for the HD 4000 on 10.8.3? Given that it's the GPU that Apple uses most now, it's a shame it doesn't support OpenCL on OSX yet.
-
I hope Jony realizes the new OSX "Autosave" feature is against good design principles, and disables it, or at least makes it configurable.
-
Using the "Pro" tag for a machine with HD-4000 gfx is a bit nonsense. The laptop line needs a more reasonable naming, such as: if ( ItCanBeUsedForPhotoshop() && ItCanBeUsedForMaya() && ItCanPlayLastGenerationGames() ) …

Cook is right saying this. But, for exactly the same reason, they should release a Mac Mini with a good dedicated GPU even if it could hurt new iMac sales. Apple, please, apply the same "not to worry about canibalization of our own product" approa…
