Hmm, what happens for instance with running a Windows XP in Parallels? Windows XP will be unusable at retina resolution, so the app must double the pixels. How is that user experience? Is that worse than having the larger pixels in the first place…

Simple question: will this syncing across devices work for any document and all appa? E.g. wil it sync Word documents between different Macs? Or will it only work for Apple apps like Pages?

Brilliant. They are predicting Blackberry will outgrow iOS even.. Given that BlackBerry is in a death spiral, the only growth they can get is from a shrinking segment of a growing market.

I am hoping for resolution independence at all levels. E.g. SVG supported next to PNG etc. With all the different resolutions and sizes out there, this is becoming a problem. Take iBooks, it is all still very much pixel oriented.

The more I experience this big brother stuff, the more I am hating it. For the last months, I have tried to get my Safari to behave such that if I visit a site (say some product site) not suddenly all my Google ads are about that product. I have no …

One important detail left out on most stories about this ruling. Samsung was ruled not to infringe on a design description of 2004. That is what Apple actually protected. The court never looked at a direct comparison of the tab versus the iPad, it l…

TV is a difficult thing to do right. LCD suffers from contrast problems and all 'full led' (actually around 500 leds behind 2 million pixels) does often is create an ugly 'halo' around light objects on a dark background. Until we have really full…

But it might be noted that Apple is moving to electronics with a cloud service behind it and it seems to be leaving OS X Server behind while the cloud is not up to replacing it (if it ever can if you also take privacy and ownership into account). Si…

Looking to the left on my desk, there stands a NeXTdimension Turbo Cube. Given that the 21" NeXT monitor (built by Hitachi, a 40kg monster, I stlll have it) is dead, it is connected to a LaCie photon20vision LCD. And I have an OpenStep VM that runs …

Maybe Apple should lower margins (and thus prices) to keep more pressure on the competition. That would bring EPS back to a more reasonable number...
