Judging by the trailer, there's a lot of Jobs' ego on display. It'll probably be another portrayal of Jobs that the executives at Apple dislike.

You're right, an iSat Phone (to give it a name) using the Iridium system would we an interesting addition to Apple's product line. It'd offer voice and data coverage anywhere in the world, although in most situations users would need a good view …

Many thanks to those at Apple who keep coming up with these amazing improvements to iPhones. The rush to buy this new iPhone 6s means that, on my mere writer's budget, I'll be able to buy an iPhone 6 a bit sooner. That said, I'm so delighted by my s…

Hey, getting any of a string of horrid diseases are better for you than Obamacare. Doctors and hospitals can cure those diseases, but if you don't have the proper political connections, Obamacare will consign you to a doctor and a hospital that may …

I hope these problems aren't in part because Apple, with its huge market share, was squeezing Sharp for below-cost prices. In the 1990s, I had a friend who hated what Boeing was doing to her parts-procurment job. She was having to call suppliers w…

It's a fascinating device, particularly for outdoor sports. But alas, its focus on one wearer confirms my suspicion that our era will become known as the Selfie Generation.

Fines like these have been going on for years and obviously aren't effective. Prison time for some cell-company top executives would send a more powerful message.

Thinner would also mean lighter and, given the size of this one, it could easily end up a bit too heavy to hold in one hand for an extended time much like my iPad 3. Every gram Apple can save would be a plus. I just hope they don't go nutty over t…

Apple going into cars doesn't fit the company's pattern of success. It got away with selling computers priced far higher than DOS ones because a GUI was better. It is doing well against Windows now because OS X is better designed and Apple hardware …

Invisible could be infrared or ultraviolet. Did the patent application say which or is Apple leaving that detail open?

Ah, my patience waiting for a new Apple TV is apparently about to be rewarded. I hope the price remains a reasonable $99 though.

Good. Apple has been avoiding these taxes using a sophisticated and perhaps dubious tax loophole that an ordinary Irish pub can't use. Let's hope that the EU forces Apple to play by the same rules as that little pub. Those claiming this is "ex post…

The iBookstore reviewers are right, this app is so useful, it shouldn't be confined to a few states. And if I read the description right, it needs a few tweaks. 1. Make one app that covers all the states and can be of value overseas. 2. Move all t…

Apple should spend some of that money improving the text-related features of OS X. Those features virtually untouched since 10.2. For many of us, that wastes hours of our time each week. Needs included: 1. Support of epub as solid as that for pdf. …

The good news from this patent is that Apple isn't letting its dominance of the smartphone market be an excuse to stand pat. That's what got Blackberry and Nokia in trouble. It is exploring new ideas and new features. The camera isn't that big a de…

Sigh, yet another reason to not buy version one of the Apple Watch. Wait until all these issues settle out.

Ah yes, yet another reason why a tattoo is foolish. It confuses an Apple Watch. In my case, I've always envisioned myself a downed pilot in WWII, able to speak fluent German and having escaped a grim POW camp. Absent a tattoo, there'd be no "identi…

Bad title. "Drown" would be more appropriate than "Destroy." The latter suggests dropping or hitting not immersing.

That's a near perfect description of Apple's global activism. They go green for Earth Day and red for AIDS Day, while eagerly selling their products in countries that execute homosexuals, don't let woman drive cars, and treat harshly any conversion …

Apple would be foolish not to retain a 4-inch model. Many people don't like larger phones. They want one that is compact, easy to put away, and easy to hold.
