You forgot one thing. You can use a MacBook Air on your lap. Floppy keyboard + kickstand = laptop you can't use on your lap. Add to this a stylus to lose and you have an awkwardly designed alternative to an ultrabook (never mind MBA: look at…

Interesting point. Last figure I saw: 450-million credit cards on file. That's about $20 per customer in the last quarter -- so Apple is scoring on huge volume of small transactions. I wonder if online store revenue per customer would go down a lot …

How big is China and does it really need a cheap iPhone? Chinese per capita annual disposable income is around $3000, which doesn't sound like much. However, the top 10% pull in about 30% the total income, meaning their average is more like …

In poorer countries like South Africa they sell in huge numbers as a cheap way to get 3G internet. I moved back to South Africa from Australia and was surprised to see Blackberries everywhere. I can't recall seeing one at all in Australia though n…

I predict the new product will be the iPhone Shuffle. No screen, randomly chooses which number to call. There: I have as much information to impart as the “analysts”. Actually there is a case for Apple to make radically cheaper product…

This all reminds me of the Woody Allen movie where he cases a bank using a camera hidden in a loaf of bread. You don't want to hold something that big next to your face. Why "phablets" anyway? You could just as easily call them "Tabones".

Right on the money. I wonder why M$ backers don't get it. Third time lucky didn't work in the MP3 player market, and won't work in the tablet or smart phone market. The iPhone was never supposed to get into the corporate environment, but it …

Looks like a brilliant idea, and I'm keen to try one out. Something has to be better than a mouse and keyboard, and touch screens don't really replace them. I've used an iPad long enough to be pretty sure of that, and agree with the Apple assessmen…

Wind has a capacity factor of about 30% (meaning you get about a third of its rated capacity, allowing that peak demand may not coincide with windy weather). So storing energy a relatively inefficient way may make sense for wind. What's missing in t…

To put in context how silly this is: imagine if Apple had launched the MacPad, a tablet that ran a munged mix of Mac apps (but only those ported to a new CPU) and touch-screen apps. Can't imagine this? Luckily, neither could anyone at Apple. Micro…
