Nothing beats the story about the Dell executive who after a string of dud presentations because of equipment failures said this won’t happen with me, and pulled out a Mac notebook.

I have one of the old white 17" iMacs and had to replace its HD. Some years ago it had a warrantee repair, and I don’t think even trained techies are too good at disassembly judging by what I found. The RF shielding around the edge was damaged (only…

The real problem here is that the name makes it look as if it should cost five cents . With carrier subsidy, it starts at $99. The real problem is that Apple is not addressing the prepaid market with an affordable option, which is what developing …

Interesting you should say that. Apple used to get that a lot, and still does to some extent. Their failures were always grossly exaggerated. But also their successes are excessively hyped. That's the media for you. Nothing by half measures. …

The only way to bring this puppy back to life is with a defibrillator The smell of blue smoke will be more entertaining than using one.

Forget the SEC. If I were a stockholder, I would be looking at identifying a the rumour mongers who have a big stake in the outcome and launching a class action suit against them. The SEC can follow and put them in jail because by then, they’d hav…

I find it obnoxious that something can be billed as “free” when it’s an engine for generating sales. Apple should require that this class of app be specifically labelled, and require entering an app store password to download. That way no one can …

Do they have a usable interface for complex selection tasks? That’s a big reason that I can’t use the iOS version of Keynote for much more than touch-ups. For example, if I need to make an edit on an item in a group that’s animated, on the M…

Funny how when the boot is on the other foot, the arguments are so neatly reversed. Remember when the Mac had a small fraction of the apps available on DOS and Windows, and Mac users said the number didn’t count, as long as the ones you want…

If you've ever been in protest politics you will know "sold out" has another connotation. I will believe huge queues when I see the evidence. When the iPad mini launched, Apple sold 3 million iPads in 3 days, and quickly reported the n…

Apple doesn't really have a problem, not one that "analysts" or the competition have discovered, anyway. All the alleged problems with Apple are nitpicks compared with how Microsoft is floundering. The Surface Pro is a weird design. Looked at as …

Yet another analyst no one has heard of conjures up a way to capture headlines. Nothing to see here.
