OK, got it.

It's government being government. No government likes to be scrutinized. So they'll oppose all measures citizens take (such as these apps) to monitor the authorities, even if there is no legal grounds to oppose citizen initiatives, after all free sp…

Of course, this is tragic, in that rumor has it this will be the last b-day for Jobs. How very, very sad. I enjoyed Apple products for decades now, since the 80's. I simply don't believe that Apple will be the same without him. I hope for the best, …

How about they fix the stupid stalling that happens when you have external hdd... I'm on the iMac 27" i7 with 8GB RAM - I bought it in January, worked fine until a few months ago. Now, I can't do anything without the spinning beachball of death. I w…

I think going to war against google is a huge mistake. There are a ton of apps and services I use from google. I love gmail and I like their maps, their cloud services and of course search. Here is what Apple has to understand: I AM AN APPLE USE…

I'd get it. If it filled my needs. What do I need? Steve Jobs called a computer "a bicycle for the mind". I need a device that can be a bicycle for my digital lifestyle. Something I can take notes on anywhere, anytime. Something that has all my appo…

OK, I'm putting on my asbestos suit because of all the flames that will follow. I think the guy is right. There, I said it. For an organization with the R&D resources of MSFT, it is a crying shame how little they innovate. In contrast, App…

OK, enough BS. When the heck is SL actually gonna be *better* than Leopard? Like in, more stable and faster? Because I'm still on 10.4.11 and it's been rock solid for me, and very fast. Meanwhile I'm reading tons and tons and tons of reports wrt. SL…

I'm still on Tiger 10.4.11. When Leopard was first announced, I listened to the presentation, and decided then and there to skip Leopard altogether. And I was true to my word. However, now I need new hardware - I'm still on PPC (iBook and mini). Thi…

I'm very disappointed by reports of numerous bugs in the GM (according to posts on MR). This feels rushed. You would think with the whole focus on optimizing Leopard, they'd at least try to minimize bugs. As is I read many, many reports on how SL is…

The only way you'll enjoy a ~$1,000 tower running OSX is if you build it yourself. A hackintosh. This is where I'm unfortunately being forced to. I want to spend about $1K, and I know I can get some pretty hefty muscle on the PC side for this money,…
