Honestly, I really hope that we don't write off the physical keyboard from phones entirely. I have a Droid 4 (as well as many other phones...), and while the iPhone's soft keyboard is fantastic, for long text I find a good physical keyboard prefe…

The meaning seems pretty clear. If someone says to you "I watched a great TV show last night" do you assume that they mean that they watched all 192 episodes of 24?

I am really curious to see how the iPad can push that many pixels, especially in more graphically intensive games. Most desktop computers would struggle with that resolution. The next several generations of Apple products are going to be interest…

I agree, Apple stores do creep me out a bit. Especially the glass cube, I felt like I was entering some bizarre techno-church when I went there. I think Ron Johnson was probably bored though - I mean, most of the big problems have already been so…

I don't get why Apple would go after the TV set market directly. If they wanted a Siri type experience, they could just add that to AppleTV, which seems like the more direct route to getting users. I mean, I'm sure that Apple knows what they're doin…

I think that Apple is trying to bring humanity into this 1970's view of a futuristic utopia. Which is awesome.

I seem to recall "Web App" being in common usage in the early 2000s, so I'm not sure what claim Apple has to the word App.

I think that there are two big hurdles for people wanting to compete with Apple. iTunes. iTunes is a very decent application without an iPod, and the integration with the iPod is very slick, and I think that people quite like using it. iTunes has…

For anyone wondering with this idea of DMA, or Direct Memory Access. Disk reads, in comparison to CPU speeds, are very very very slow. Consider a 2GHz CPU, and a disk with 10ms seek times (that is it takes 10ms to find what one is looking for on …

Typing kills the iPhone. Add a keyboard to the iPhone and RIM will have their work cut out for them to stay competitive. Security is another issue in corporate situations, which RIM has done quite well. RIM may be falling behind, but don't discou…

I hate how hostile the Mac community gets when things try competing with Apple.

Think of the implications of this. If it's because of security, fine - the Opera team can refactor and resubmit the browser. If it's because Apple does not want to have competition, this sets a scary precedent. Suppose Apple wants to make an app …

This does expose a flaw with Apple though - Apple has to move beyond Steve Jobs. Right now, Apple is Jobs. While he has certainly been amazing for the company, it's time that they recognize that he is mortal, and to have some clear future plans f…

Great article, although to be fair, both Apple and Microsoft were appropriating the Xerox desktop. I've only been programming on OS X since 10.4 (incidently when I got my first Mac), so it was a very cool tour of ages past. I feel like I'm at a good…
