You're not going to see a "new" AppleTV, until they have something significantly different to offer, which includes improved content deals. Until then the current model will continue to get minor revisions, speed bumps, and reductions in price. I'…

I believe there is a subsidy from the government for telecommunications companies to provide broadband speeds of Internet access to rural areas and schools. Now, to qualify for this subsidy, they need to make sure their speeds meet 25MB threshold. …

I have the feeling that the only reason Apple continues to support Lion for add-on software like Safari is for the MacPro1,1. There's still a large population of them out there that are workhorses (Quad Core Xeons, up to 32GB RAM) yet are limited t…

The cost for out of warranty support is not really because of profit, but for deterrence. Just think of the number of the non-warrantied Apple devices out there that Apple would have to support for "free". The cost of maintaining a call center to …

Two comments on the general discussion going on so far... 1.) Developers abandoned the Mac not just because of market share, but because of how difficult it was to code for the Classic Mac OS at the time when the growth of Windows was exploding. …

Although using iTunes Radio is easy to find, setup, and use, customizing the stations is a little more buried. In addition to adding additional songs and artists (besides using Favorites button), you can modify the station to play more hits or to w…

I have the feeling development of OS X is becoming more like iOS, than the other way around. If you look at the build history of iOS releases, iOS 6.0 was build 10A403 - 406, depending on the device you had. With OS X being updated on a cycle th…

I was able to resolve most of my AppleTV 'computer disconnected' issues by having the computer I have iTunes on and the two AppleTV's on be on all the time. I believe its an issue with sleep and network connectivity. I have a dedicated MacMini set…

This is a misleading article. It leaves out important facts like Java 1.7 being a manual download from Oracle.com, and that only in the last month has a non-beta version become available for Mac users. Most Mac users do not have Java 1.7 installed,…

Wow, there is a lot of over-reaction to the minimal Mac Pro refresh, and the lack of an iMac refresh. With every quarter that goes by, there is an increasing percentage of laptop vs desktop sales. Apple is simply dedicating their resources to wher…
