Seems unlikely, since more chips are going inside (e.g. NFC), but given the antenna problems with the iPhone 4, I wouldn't be surprised if the form factor goes back to the 3/3GS style. That said, since NFC will be inside, there's no way the back wi…

If any of you were actually developers, you might know that a lot of time is spent debugging and testing. This feature was most likely part of a test suite that someone forgot to remove from the final build.

A 7200 rpm disk will have faster sustained writes than a 5400 rpm disk when it is bigger than 0.75 times the size of the comparable 5400 rpm disk. This is because 5400/7200 = 0.75. However, 500GB/750GB = 0.67. Disk latency is important when y…

Back in the days when I used to do a lot of 3D modeling and rendering, I always liked to have a render box. Currently, my work is different, but I still do thing that require long, computational processes. I have a macbook pro 13 and an iMac 27. …

It's really hard to say, but I bet if you went to an Apple Store they might let you try. Generally, I would expect that your Mac Pro is still a tad faster. The disk speed, RAM, and cache are very important for this type of benchmarking. Also, i…

I think you have to live in North America to use Netflix. I know at least one person, who is American and has a US address, who was living in Europe for a year. He was not able to access Netflix while he was living in Europe, I assume because of D…
