I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped the cat-names to symbolize a break from the past. They'll have to do it at some point anyway. Since it's .9 though, they might try and stick with it one more revision.

@swalon: Remember that McCain was one of two ringleaders there. The other was Democrat Levin. He was just as full of shit as McCain was, but most reporters thought it looked better to just quote one of them (for whatever reason). And note that b…

@frood "profits artificially made overseas"? You do know that Apple actually sells products overseas. You should educate yourself a bit. The issue at hand is that an enormous amount of the profits they make overseas (nothing artificial about it, no …

Color, gradients, textures... they're all simply kinds of information. Sometimes they can be clutter. But you can go too far the other way in trying to expunge them as well. I hope Sir Ive keeps that in mind. Because the one thing that zealotry neve…

When Apple is close to one of these giveaways, make sure you don't buy something silly, just in case it gets announced worldwide.

Actually she called it "extremely brutal". You might not agree with it, but "extremely brutal" it isn't. If little faults proceeding on distemper Shall not be wink'd at, how shall we stretch our eye When capital crimes, chew'd, swallo…

Considering how hard Samsung and others are trying to copy Apple as fast and as thoroughly as they can, and how ineffective the courts are in stopping it... I sure hope your sources are wrong. I hate to imagine you guys working so hard to give copyc…

It's obvious that in naming the "HearPod" these people chose a name as close to Apple's as they could get without being sued. And now they're complaining because Apple has named something that sounds too much like their? This is like Microso…

I looked at the title and thought, "That's got to be a Dilger story. It'll be lengthy and inane." Right on all counts. This kind of nonsense makes AppleInsider really look like a bunch of buffoons. To the editors: please put the author of your stori…

What I read about preferred stock... is there something about a proposal for preferred stocks that's not absolutely reprehensible? It seems like a way to create a second tier of stock that (1) presumably I won't be owning and (2) gets more bang for …

The problem turns out to be that the fans are "unprotected"... but you have to open the case to get at those unprotected fans. Jeez.

It's still using the rotational energy. It's just converting that to heat and storing it that way.

This debate reminds me of the architect Louis I Kahn, who once said, "To make a thing deliberately beautiful is a dastardly act" -- and meant it. Some of these designers who are such zealots that that just eschew every slightest embellishment...

Does anyone else think he looks like Ive in that picture? On-topic, the argument in favor of purchasing vs subscriptions a long time ago was that people wanted to own their songs. That's true of me, and it's apparently true of Bruce Willis. …

If this stuff ends up being real, then it'll make Time Cook's line about doubling down on secrecy look pretty empty. I've never seen so many parts of upcoming products.
