Jobs has been widely quoted as saying he was pleased to have cracked the Apple TV. People jumped to conclusions, and Samsung even wasted a load of money on bringing a computer connected TV out. Even before Apple Jobs and Woz were well known practica…

The interview from Behance's 99U conference, first spotted by Cult of Mac, Johnson described her time at Apple... Comparing about the two techniques... It was a really interesting an important technique. His core leadership team, product and market…

He sounds like he has Aspergers. They are renowned for being excellent at coding (or other very clever things) but lousy in interpersonal relationships and often want - no, *need* - absolute privacy to function at all or they can have meltdowns. Whi…

What if you want to use more than language? In the same text/email? I often have to quote a foreign language when writing in English, and if I cannot change the language manually, it will seriously affect me.

Gates and Ballmer are both major shareholders in MS so they will always be part of that company's DNA. It will be interesting to see if they move back to the old tactics of dumping to remove competitors and using monopolistic methods to build market…

I like Alex! These new voices speak too quickly, and without enough variation in tone IMO. I hope they are extra options and not replacements.

"Samsung on Thursday argued against an Apple-sought permanent injunction, saying such an order could have long-lasting repercussions for the Korean tech giant. " Well, they should have thought of that before they used their inside knowledge of bein…

So, what he's saying is that stealing is bad and you get to pay costs but no penalty if you're caught, but handling stolen goods is completely OK. Great legal brain. Great system.

So, the Motorola patents really were worthless then...

IMO there certainly was a hiatus at Apple, in the run up to Steve Jobs death and for a year or so afterwards. The first because the strong leader was not able to lead and nobody wanted to elbow him out of the way while he could still come back; the …

I think Wish Lists sound useful, and that's a positive for many, but in this interconnected world of globalisation and international travel and cross border working I'd also like to see progress on being able to select English as a language for Appl…

Interesting similarity between Nest and NeXT - and not just in the name. In both cases they were started by serial inventors with unique ideas - Jobs the Macintosh, Fadell the iPod. In both cases they parted ways with Apple and only showed how valua…

Well, if you think the story of misleading tech reports has anything to do with research, good luck when you meet the Wizard of Oz. Samsung is thought to be spending huge amounts of money on dissing the iPhone. While Samsung are spending over $1 bil…

I certainly hope so. It isn't right that they are doing what they are doing, but Apple really isn't winning the PR campaign in social media as far as I can see. I hope I'm wrong, but Phil Schiller is an old school, classical marketing guy and seems …
