Finally! The graphic for the patent clearly shows that Apple has big plans for SE/30's like the three that I have socked away in my basement

People don't go on four-month leaves of absence over nothing, so it's absurd to think that her coworkers wouldn't have noticed anything before she left. Also, people who go on leave for nervous disorders don't always depart on the best of terms, an…

My condolences to those who end up subject to "CIO friendliness" concerns over anything resembling actual common sense. Enjoy your PlayBooks, and rest assured that once your CIO is through with them, there will be nothing resembling useful function…

Here in Canada we can just buy iPhones unlocked, so why buy one on contract? If you own an iPhone 3 and want an unlocked iPhone, then the iPhone 4 is a much better choice than kludges that free your old phone from contract. Even more importantly…

Nothing screams authoritative like a chart that lists Research in Motion as "RIMM" -- hopefully their number crunchers are more careful than their editors. [edit: RIMM is technically their stock identifier, which might make some sense if they wer…

Anonymous sources report that Apple has captured 100% of the lucrative iPad market. However, computer industry observers are predicting that stiff competition in 2011 will reduce their share of this fast-growing market to a mere 100% by 2012. Op…

Yeah, flatness and orthogonality are overrated, but then so is contiguity -- I look forward to the Nexus PoP (short for pile-of-pixels), because you should be able to organize your touchscreen into any geometry you like

My god -- if only Apple could actually make carrier and plan selection so simple... never having to deal with a carrier directly would be so very much better than the crap we have to put up with currently (idiot commissioned sales people, side and s…

Apple clearly has the most reliable devices -- it's nonsense to combine malfunctions (which are outside of user control) with accidents (which are generally within use control, despite the term 'accident').

Great batteries -- just travelled with their 150 Wh battery in tow and found it excellent for both my 17-inch MacBook Pro and iPod touch. Brilliant product! Real pity that Apple couldn't accommodate them, but from the sound of it, Sanho wasn't e…

Excellent offer, and well overdue -- and free to students and academics such as professors (I'm a prof) -- however, even as free software, the ancient interface and shaky performance sent me screaming back to order a long-overdue upgrade for Ashlar-…

Oboy, Zune on a smartphone! Now I can finally trash that old Newton and buy into a real white elephant device! Does it suck and crash like an authentic Microsoft device, or does it stink for newly fascinating reasons?

The iPad is a giant iPod touch, and the iPod touch itself isn't really an iPod, but rather an iPhone without telephony/GPS/camera. The iPod line died with the introduction of the iPod touch, just like the old Mac OS died with the introduction of OS…
