Somebody please tell me that the reason there was no iPhone 9 was not because X was afraid of 7...

BTW, this seems like it has a connection to computing, ranging from tyranical geniuses (A Star is Born, King of Kings, Superman, King Kong, Raging Bull, The Jerk, Arrested Development, Pee Wee's Playhouse) the Newton and Pippin (Gone With the Wind, …

If Apple is serious about production, there is no reason why they couldn't expand beyond TV and start producing films ala Netflix. They would be hard-pressed to find a better studio to acquire - great facilities and an amazing history – De Mille, S…

The cutting edge these days is the TonePrint system from TC Electronics. You can edit a huge range of parameters on their pedals (even changing one pedal into another - say, by adding full set of chorus controls to a reverb pedal and then turning of…

Apple has to draw the line somewhere, but I don't like the idea of not being able to do a minor repair on a machine that is in otherwise pristine condition. I ran into this issue a couple of months ago. Due to an unusual situation, I needed a mother…

I am very upset with Parallels over the "separate spaces" issue. They gave this issue a pass and released the upgrade knowing full well that it would cause a problem. The only way to see your Mac screen is to go to Mission Control and enable separat…

With the exception of the senseless reduction in ports, Apple's pro laptop line already has a good direction. Beefing up the iMac with pro options definitely addresses the majority of pro situations, but the top of the line machines clearly need to …

DavidAlGregory said: Exactly how is a glued shut, skinny iMac with soldered in memory and on board Vampire Video GPUs going to serve a Pro Market or have any shelf life? The very all in one concept of the iMac or a laptop serves the constant…

This is certainly a thorough article. I take issue with the licensing suggestion, as being unfeasible. As was clearly proven in the past, in order for Apple to make money through licensing, they would have to charge so much for licenses that third p…

Racial quotas is a difficult topic. We should remember that the guy in charge of Apple represents a segment that is often the target of hostility and makes a prominent case, both personally and on the company's behalf, for diversity. If Apple does n…

The upgrade prompts certainly annoy the heck out of me. What really gets me is how they also try to trick you into upgrading by randomly throwing up the number pad prompt; making you think that this is the regular fingerprint prompt. That is devious…

I'm not sure how a private company can be compelled to make sure that it establishes independent private companies to handle repairs. If a sompany wants to become an authorized repair center, they are certainly welcome to apply, take the courses, an…

Mikeymike said: Performas of the mid '90s had more "firsts" in them than anything Apple has ever done since. Same with the PowerBooks. "Junk"?? ...Please. The Performas were budget-orientd versions of Apple's more serious machines and were i…

I dont' know about the "working perfectly" thing. I use dual monitors - and old 24 cinema next to a 27. If I accidentally drag the window a little too wide it displays a message about incompatible resolution and blows up. The REALLY big issue for …

This is absolutely stupid. And the condemnation has been posted on news site every where - including those such as CNN that do not accept reader comments. I stopped trusting Consumer Reports a long time ago. The did a head-to-head test between a Ma…

It is currently possible to create such technology - essentially a proximity jammer mounted into a steering wheel with a precisely limited range of, say, three feet. Once that is in place, the manufacturer can be sued if it fails. Until then, there …

Version two could come with microscopic harpoon guns built in to each ear piece that hammer miniature spikes into your ear canals. That would work.

I'm certain that Californians are very proud of all the great things they have accomplished and all the great stuff they have come up with. I congratulate them. But when I see "Made in California", it doesn't mean much of anything. I'm from Texas a…

These Macs are just too darned reliable! By the time they need service some five years down the road, the jig is up. The "vintage" and "obsolete" monikers will impact resale and ROI. I understand Apple's need to limit the number of models that its…
