It's a bit weird that bike lanes weren't an integral part of the original design, but great they've been added. Really, all modern neighborhoods, cities, campuses, whatever should be designed with bikes/pedestrians/public transit as core principles …

Most people can type faster on a physical keyboard - I can see how people who mainly want a good email client and the occasional quick web search and won't be spending hours surfing the net or playing video games on it would prefer this to a full to…

Wow, using a barcode scanner to transfer information! Whoda thunkit?

A big issue with a "cheaper" iPhone would be what features they could take away from, or what features they could add to the high-end phone. They can't release a smaller-storage version, because that would handicap content sales via iTunes. …

Just wondering, is this a paid article? Would be great if you could denote whether IconFactory paid for the space, or if this is information that the AI staff genuinely thinks should be in the feed and published it without the company paying them to…

Isn't it fairly standard that when a giant corporation loses 45% of its value over the course of 5 months that shareholders and boards of directors tend to consider firing the CEO? I mean, seriously, if Google lost 45% of its value and there…

This is being done to remove barriers that impulse buyers have. Not enough space? On the road and don't have a good connection? Don't worry, we'll charge your credit card and wait until you've got space. Of course, once you've got enough space/fast …

The future of mobile devices is in monetizing content. Apple is already the king of that, and the best thing they can do is expand their user base to maximize profits inside the walled garden and with phone company payouts. Getting bigger pa…

Shouldn't the discussion be about : which dock this will support? WIll everyone with an iPhone/iPod older than the iPhone 5 require an adaptor to use the dock? Won't said adaptor greatly increase risk of breaking the dock due to extra stress on th…

I don't understand how so many people can think that the AAPL decline isn't expected and/or that the stock isn't still overvalued. If you were to try and think of one company that might have its stock price inflated by company "fans" and/or …

Sure, sales of netbooks to middle/upper-middle class westerners is going to drop due to tablets, but the platform isn't going to "die" for a long time. A sub-$300 computer for internet/emailing and working from home is still preferable to a …

Wow, hope Apple has enough supply to keep up with all 11 of those customers! Seriously, if this was the line for a Samsung/HTC/Nokia/Scary Movie 5 launch, you'd all be rolling around laughing at how pathetic it is....
