Cook is right, particularly for those with a computer at home for the heavy lifting, in my case Creative Cloud apps. When Scrivener for iOS comes out, I'll have no need for my MacBook and hence a laptop. The one hitch with tablets and smartphones o…

Not surprising. I'm not sure I'd have gone even if a local theater had offered me a free ticket. Steve is interesting, but not that interesting, particularly a film that shows his unpleasant dark side. Like others, I'll just wait until the movie is…

Not good, doing almost all your hiring in one state. When some regulatory push comes along%u2014and there are a lot of those connected to auto making%u2014it helps to have members of Congress who see all those jobs in their district. Besides, if yo…

Ah, more of this 'thin is better' silliness. When will it ever end. For those with memories, it got started with the Motorola RAZR many years ago. That's one fad that is well past its 'sell by' date.

Except for that signal-blocking metal case, this makes sense. There are many people who're not caught up in having the latest technology and many whose small hands make these larger phones cumbersome. There's a market for this phone. Now how about …

Skip all iMacs, I say. A friend of mine is fretting horribly because his iMac has developed a display flicker. From his previous iMac, he knows that if anything goes out in an iMac, you must junk the entire machine. That's about $1500 down a rat hol…

There's something strangely lacking about a large corporation so small-minded artistically that it accords favored status to one particular music group. That makes no sense. Automakers don't care what music we listen to in their cars. Why should App…

Those who want to better understand the world of corporate executives as illustrated here need only go to Youtube and search for "temper tantrum" They'll see lots of examples of "What's mine is mine. What's yours is also mine." They'll see few exam…

Apple R&D needs to replace the dreadful Hunspell checker in OS X with something that's not worthless, or at the very least give the Hungarian academics behind Hunspell enough money to create a decent product for English speakers. Suggestions: …

Spoken like a true Apple fanboy. When Cupertino speaks, you obey, not noticing that as SD slot is much smaller than a CD player, or that it is so useful for added storage that Amazon felt compelled to include one on their $50 tablet. A removabl…

Cook is right. iPads are a 'gateway drug' for other Apple products. There are arguments to be made pro v. con for moving from Windows to OS X, particularly for those in business. But there's no real argument that iPads aren't the best choice if you'…

Given that we're talking about expensive, status watches sold to people with more money than sense, I'm surprised that the decline wasn't greater that the 10-14% range. Most people who would normally buy these Swiss watches continued to buy them, al…

Not all this will be as good as it is likely to be with architecture and construction, where the key need is to move information about quickly and accurately. Some of these IBM/Apple schemes attempt to do with white-collar professionals what the in…

Apple could allow users to set monthly limits to how much cellular data they use with this feature. That'd prevent most overuse.

Disappointing. I like having my desktop and mobile input similar and had hoped Apple would release a combo keyboard & touchpad that resembled that on their latest mobile devices. A separate keyboard and touch pad don't interest me much. That'd …

Keyboard: Yawn. The "stability" of keys has never been an issue with any keyboard I have owned. That's just marketing speak. I might evaluate the feel of this new keyboard, but $99 is simply too much when I can get the previous generation, which I l…

I am delighted by this update. I've long been ticked off that many podcasts move too slowly and have awkward pauses that cause my attention to wander. Other podcast players including Apple's only offer a too-fast 1.5x speed. Smart Speed in Overcast …

We'll see how it turns out. Looking just like their characters is hard to pull off, so we need to lenient there. But I'll be disappointed if the actors haven't taken the time to get their mannerisms down right.

Sadly, still no Siri, age-tailored for kids. When I ask, "Show me a kitty," it shows me a news story about a Scandinavia band. Weird!
