I have major problems with the new keyboard, probably because the keys are flat and don't have indentations for your fingers as do most keyboards, and key travel and touch also suck. Piano playing is all about touch and tone, so is computer keyboar…

Why is Sony able to make all those tiny VAIO computers, that weigh hardly anything yet powerful enough to even load and run Windoze bloatware? What is Apple missing?

And while you're at it, how about some hardware ENcoding to move HDTV content to mp4 format in much faster than realtime???

I tried the new aluminum iMac keyboard at the Apple Store this week. It's awful. I'm a touch typist and I can't tell where my fingers are relative to the home row. I'm still waiting for the IBM AT keyboard to return to computers -- those full s…

I recently bought a Mac Mini to use as my entertainment system. It works great playing HD content and as a DVD player, much more reliable than ANY other DVD player I have used. I have had several SONY dvd players that skip and crash and just get h…

Why can't HDTV be broadcast over IP instead of OTA or coax?

I'm sorry you find my suggestion so frustrating. It's simple, really. When you buy a mac pro off the shelf it's a big empty box. If you get rid of all the empty space, you're left with a machine of identical performance but much reduced physical …

I would buy this if it was available with performance and capacity equal to or better than the MacPro: Ports will need to look like this though:

The reason Apple should make a new Mac Cube (minitower) is obvious: PEOPLE WANT ONE! Call it the MacPro Cube and charge $1299 for it using the same components as the MacCube. Apple is really hurting its customers by using laptop parts and taking …

We will ask and ask and ask for a Mac Pro Cube and they will ignore us until finally Steve will come out with it as if nobody was even thinking about it, and it's so innovative, and wow we should be so surprised. It is an obvious hole that Apple sh…

This new iMac reminds me of the Simpsons episode where the kids go crazy to buy the new Malibu Stacey doll simply because she has a new hat. I can't figure out why I would want to replace my existing iMac with this new one -- simply because it's a …

If Apple is working on a new product with functionality X, and someone from the press asks Steve "Is Apple working on X product" do you really think he will get the interest of the competition by admitting it? It's almost guaranteed that if Steve d…

Obviously if Apple is serious about TV then they will have to have digital television tuners in their boxes. The AppleTV as it is now is a hilarious joke, you can't even channel surf with it let alone record live television.

They're going to announce the discontinuation of the Mac Mini. However the recently leaked photos of the thin keyboard are not for the iMac but for a new Mac Pro Cube, basically a Mac Pro but without the expandability and inside a small six-inch …
