I thought it was an interesting read. I agree with Cringely's assertion that as long as Jobs is CEO or is expected to return as CEO then the question of his health is a valid subject. I also agree that Jobs *likes* to be talked about. I think…

I routinely connect both an older MacBook and a new unibody MacBook to my stereo via a standard 1/8" phone jack and I've never noticed anything unusual with either.

It's hard to imagine how anyone would be interested in paying to "upgrade" their existing library. There's absolutely no point unless you're planning to migrate away from iTunes/iPod, and if you are moving out of iTunes there are plenty of altern…

The prices for new releases are going up. I think this is a net-loss for consumers, but the optics look good for Apple thanks to the anti-DRM crowd.

Picasa is first and foremost a Windows applications. Google used WineLib to port Picasa to Linux, so they must have used WineLib to do the Mac Port as well. That's important because WineLib used to require X11 for its GUI support. Obviously Googl…

The only question that remains is what Apple will charge for this little iPhone. I'm guessing $49.99 for the 4 GB model.

The BlackBerry Bold has the same resolution (480x320) as the current iPhone, yet you'd never be able to guess that by just looking at the two. It's very conceivable that this iPhone nano has the same screen resolution and therefore would run the …

I think all the features that could make their way out of that research and into the real world has already been added to OS X, in the form of Leopard.

It's $300 million. They gotta spend in on *something*. But to "record your own I'm a PC ad"? I don't even know what that is.

A ridiculous puff piece that tries to pass misguided opinions as fact. What a total waste of time.

As usual, expect the new stuff to come as soon as this summer's iPod/MacBook back-to-school promotion ends in September. They use these promotions to move out the old stock before the new models arrive.

I welcome any improvements to "The PC Experience" and any other area of computer technology, but I'd much rather see these improvements happen through innovation rather than through the "mimicking" of your competitor.

It's a MacTablet, obviously. A merging of a full Mac and the iPhone in terms of functionality and UI. It's the last remaining "poorly defined" market to be conquered before Steve-o retires.

It doesn't seem like much of an upgrade unless you have a 64-bit (Intel) multi-core CPU, with a dedicated GPU capable of OpenCL and *lots* of RAM. Or, if you want to use Mail.app with an Exchange server.

Man, there is a lot of stupid speculation going on. Snow Leopard won't run Carbon apps? Give me a break. This kind of uneducated speculation is a hilarious waste of time. Leopard itself brought massive additions and improvements to both th…

Cringely called it back in July. The X-mas 3G surprise, that is. http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/2...12_002475.html
