What gets me is the irony: If you say HTML5 will do everything Flash will do, and you say you hate what Flash does, then what, exactly, are you saying? Maybe I don't get it. "Kill Flash" seems to translate into "Kill banner ads," but there …

If my iPhone supported tethering, would I be able to buy the cheaper wifi iPad and use it over my iPhone's 3G connection?

Pardon my ignorance, but why is HTML5 cast as hero while Flash is cast as the villain? If HTML5 equals Flash, and they can be used interchangeably (ignoring various performance issues) to do the same sorts of things, what makes Flash so evil? Is tha…

Bill Gates says that some mix of keyboard, pen, and touchscreen are the key. I tend to agree. And, indeed, so does Apple, minus the stylus. They have touchscreen, and an add-on keyboard. So what are they missing? A stylus. My Newton (Apple's …

I absolutely hate the approach Apple has taken on files. To tie songs to iTunes, pictures to iPhoto, word processing docs to Pages, etc. seems logical on the surface. That's where they were created? Right? But that is not the way people work. …

Those pictures of the smoky innards of the computer... fantastic! Great pictures - and from Nawf Carolahnuh (my old home) the tobacco state!

A: "We've run out of iPhones." B: "I've got the solution..." A: "Produce more phones, and get them in the stores?" B: "No. How about we open an hour earlier?" A: "What good will THAT do?" B: "You're right. How about two hours earlier?"

Perhaps he will help Apple rethink personal transportation, and come up with something compelling: a clean, green, anti-addiction machine.

Nope. Beg to differ. I love Apple, and have bought almost every model since my 1984 Plus, but they know better than to say "millions" when they mean "thousands." "Millions of colors" as traditionally used by Apple means, and has always meant, "th…

You'd think the people would have had enough of silly lawsuits I look around me and I see it isn't so Some people want to fill the world with silly lawsuits And what's wrong with that? I need to know 'cause here I go again... I will sue... …

I am outraged. As if dropping the price of the iPhone were not enough, now they are adding features! What next? A new model? How can Apple treat us this way? We buy products and then they build better ones! Outrageous.

Cornelius Kumar Fudge is in denial. Perhaps he is a death eater in hiding. The pod chooses the wizard. Just ask wandmaker Steve "Olivander" Jobs. This is the first of countless steps out onto the thin-ice of an extended Harry Potter metaphor.

Steve greedy? You don't say. Is he alone? I don't think so. When it comes to business, the moral high ground is built on layers and layers of hypocrisy. No matter the high sounding rhetoric disguising base goals, business (yea, capitalism) is …

Luckily, Apple has invented the hand-shrinker ray, so that we'll be able to type on a screen the size of a business card.

Verizon's job in the short run is to stop anyone from leaving for iPhone... and in the long run, to copy the iPhone as closely as possible!

I loved all the photos. Thanks. I don't think there should be any fewer. I thought it was like a quick glimpse of that actual street. Bravo. What was the Hitler with an iPod supposed to be? a joke? I don't get it. He doesn't represent Germany an…

A tear-down of Steve Jobs revealed that his component parts are worth only $38.95.

Only 2.6% global market share? That's ALL? As an avid member of this lunatic fringe, I believe we should all bow our heads and observe a moment of silence for the 97.4% of the computer users out there. Poor devils.

The phrase "near DVD quality" is an ominous one. As I understand it, this phrase applies not to the Apple TV, but to the iTunes movies it will play... so perhaps it is all about bandwidth and codecs. Still... Instead of a step up to Blue Ray HD D…
