So based on this article... STOLEN iPhone prototypes are being used by hackers to create exploits that law enforcement agencies are taking advantage of to get data off encrypted iPhones. If this is true then law enforcement has determined it is OK…

These benchmarks give hints as to Apples strategy. Apple is using their revenue from phone sales to heavily invest in Chip design. This investment is paying off in an increasing gap in performance between Apples A series and competing ARM processo…

Apple certainly lost their focus on the mac line, letting the Pro and mac mini go way too long between updates. Now I wonder if they are trying to be too ambitious with their redesign? Apple put themselves in a corner in that after all this time t…

What is the advantage of this $200 setup vs Ant-in and television tuner? Some advantages: 1) You can time shift. Even without the DVR you can pause, fast forward and rewind television. 2) You don't need to split your antenna and run coax to ev…
