Australia avoided recession during the 2008 Global Financial Collapse (or GFC, as it is accurately titled in Australia and NZ), because the big banks did not fail, and because the Rudd government sent every taxpayer a cheque for $1000 - some of whic…

If Ming-Chi Kuo is correct (and I am not saying that he is) there will be three models available for Christmas 2016, each in 6 variants (two sizes and three cases). These will be Apple Watch 1, Apple Watch 1S and Apple Watch 2. If he's right about A…

I'd use it if it could understand my accent. We had friends round for dinner last night and he and I were chatting in front of the TV while the girls prepared dinner. He mentioned the TV show Spartacus, which I hadn't seen, so I picked up the appleT…

By April 2025 the iPhone will be inside the aWatch! GPS and LTE are obvious next steps. Whether or not they are the best next steps remains to be seen. Those logicians who wish to reply argumentum ad lapidem please feel free to do so.

My dear rogifan_old, iAd lasted six years, and is not dead yet - just reinventing itself. Carol Bartz only lasted from January 2009 to September 2011 - 2 years and 8 months! She was one of a long and almost forgettable line of Yahoo CEOs. Of course …

I'm with yojimbo007 on the issue of file management, but I'm happy to take foggyhill's suggestion and will have a look at Document 5 by Readdle. If I could have an iPad (with aPencil) with native HWR and good file management (preferably in the OS, …

I was in the new Apple Store in Yas Island Mall (about 20 min northeast of the centre of Abu Dhabi) a few days ago and had about an hour to kill so I sat down with the iPad Pro and aPencil (note to AI please add an Apple Logo to your emoticon range …
