Two overrated technologies for desktop computing. 1. Speech. I can mouse around all day, but I will be exhausted after talking to the computer for 1 hour. If you have kids, you know what I mean. 2. Multi-touch. Why would I use two fingures (or e…

There is a strategic reason why Apple needs Safari on Windows - to keep Microsoft technology from dominating the websites. Web has been a great equalizer for Mac. People complain less about "not enough apps run on Mac" these days because a lot of…

Oh, come on, upsetting many people for that 0.14% market share? There are many ways to increase your market market, especially when it is 0.07%. Slipping it in and upsetting customers is not a good way. Whichever MBA thought of this "brilliant…

Doubling in 5+ years is not that a big deal, only about 13% to 14%/year compounded.

OK, I know a lot of people have been waiting for an IM app on iPhone...but, how can this be patentable? A lot of the third party patents bashed on AppleInsider have more unique technologies than this. It is just a list with some different way …

Of course there will be a new model. It doesn't have to be 3G or more memory. It could be a minor tech spec change (10% faster processor or 20% longer battery life would do). Apple does that when they have minor revision to their Macbooks. Why…

According to my friend in China, iPhone (at $500 to $600 street price), is significantly cheaper than other smart phones. Four of his friends asked him to bring iPhones on his last trip (but Apple Store only allows him to get two). One good think…

Again, the article shows the journalist's lack of clue in patents, instead of problem with this particular patent. The patent does not claim "time-based sorting". Please read. It is about interface design (3D) which uses time-based sorting. As…

Apple should forget about having contract with China Mobile. Just sell unlocked iPhone for $900 (that's how much it is selling there anyway) with native Chinese apps. It will make a killing from that.

"has signed up 70,000 iPhone customers" That's different from "sold". Each customer may have multiple iPhones (family plan), and I suspect a lot of iPhones were bought to be hacked. BTW, I just found out two of my old colleagues in China bough…

I thought Apple trademarked "i"...think iMac, iPod, iTunes, iDvd, iMovie....
