Jobs can't be that dense. It's business, boo hoo. Really, Google wants to control information, and how to deliver it - portal, OS, browser, phones, broadband. And it's not like Apple is some angelic enterprise either.

As a dual OS user, I tried the HTML 5 beta for a bit on YT, hoping I would get better performance on my Mac (a Mini with a 1.83 C2D, GMA 950 and SL), as full-screen Flash just kills it, but whatever compression Google uses for the HTML 5 conversion …

I gave up on Apple, and upgraded my HTPC (Core i5-750, Radeon HD 5770, 4 GB DDR3, Blu-ray drive. USB 3.0/SATA 6.0 Gbps capable*, Win7 Home Premium x64). This thing stomps all my other computers and Mac Mini especially, and it's the quietest, fastest…

I'm still confused at the market for a tablet computer, from anyone.

It's just a big iPod Touch, with the possibility of 3g and a couple more connections (camera transfers and KB). Even the name is meh. Kudos to the long battery life however.

Apple is the Bose of computers, great designs, some really well thought out engineering, but you're paying a premium for the name and looks, even though you would likely get more raw power somewhere else. Personally, I'm not a fan or Bose, nor am…

Try deleting your current network location, and then creating a new one (you may also want to delete and recreate the actual ethernet/Airport/Bluetooth connections as well). When I upgraded from Leopard to SL on my Mini, Airport wouldn't even turn o…

SL managed to break Airport on my Mini, as it simply won't turn on now, after upgrading from Leopard. I've tried deleted my keychain preferences, Airport in the Network preferences (and restarting), and nothing seems to make it work. I was p…

I'll be picking up SL tomorrow at the Apple Store in Fresno, but honestly, I'm not expecting much. It will be nice and all, that Finder is re-written and faster, speed improvements to networking, QT, some under-the-hood, etc, but I already have …
