What a waste of time to read...very fanboy'ish...a lot of words that in the end really say nothing. Much of it is a stretch. Rather than trying to get people to connect the dots, the writer is trying to make the dots himself. Disappointing.

Only those who are wrapped up in following news between Apple and Samsung is going to attempt to make any connection between the two. When I read that Samsung had made this commercial, I was actually eager to view it. I was looking for a good laugh…

I question Apple's quality these days. Siri worked incredibly well when I first used it. I use to use it in traffic without any problem...now I worry about it being a distraction because it is so much less reliable. And, then there's iCloud.…

Quote: Though Nokia still controls the market, competitors Apple and Research in Motion are said to have profit margins that far exceed their market share. Having a bulk of the market hardly qualifies as controlling the market. It's pretty obvi…

Twitter and Facebook are huge right now. If Apple can market that they have a cool client for those sites it could lead to better sales. Now throw in some itunes goodness and it can help with itunes and perhaps ipod/iphone sales. No matter how …

There needs to be a greater push on web apps when services are provided that require network/internet access. While I agree that this move ruffles the feathers of developers of native apps, it can help push toward the holy grail of cloud computing …

While these moves do p*ss me off, people need to not overreact. Consider the fact that other versions of software that do the same thing on other platforms have not been pulled. It's obvious that AT&T can't handle the demand of iphone customer…

You can have sms blocked. I don't have an sms plan for my iphone and have it blocked...just talk to them. You might be able to do it online even but I had my wife take care of it so she called and had it taken care of.

As far as the looks of the device it likely won't look like the iphone does now. Apple's new product lines tend to be a new look but I would guess that the iphone they deliver later in 2010 or maybe the following year will then resemble the same lo…

I don't see any point in making assumptions that Apple can't still work with Verizon. People should know by now that nothing is absolute. There is still time before the window for Apple and Verizon to possibly come together and work this out. I…

It sure seems as though we might be seeing history repeat itself. Back in the day we saw MS get in bed with Apple, learned their plans, and exploited that. Now we see Google possibly doing the same...first in the mobile phone space and now this. …

Some need to keep a clearer mind on this. This is something that was known many months ago. If something was going to happen on a large scale to affect most Mac users as well as the Windows and Linux folks running java, it likely would have al…

Methinks Munster really knows better but has gotten caught up in the desktop OS wars. There's alot of hype behind Windows 7 and alot of fanboys(both Windows and OSX) have tried to make too much out of it and forget that Apple has another market now…

I use to never have any problems with AT&T who I have had for 5 years now. The stunts they're pulled since I've had my iphone(3G last August) though just make me cringe. I had a Palm Treo 650 with Edge which I paid $20/mth for data. With th…
