Ah yes, Apple like most of the high-tech industry in Silicon Valley, is funding the development of extremely sophisticated manufacturing in Asia%u2014here these new screens. As for us, judging by their at-home investments, Apple's corporate executiv…

Two suggestions for Amazon: 1. Put some of those Fire developers to work adding disability features to Amazon's epaper Kindles, including accessing Bluetooth keyboards and mice as well as restoring test-to-speech. If Amazon doesn't act soon, soon t…

The 's' iPhones aren't typically ground-breaking, which suggests that this time around, the Apple TV might be worthy of media attention. The secrecy could be because some of the content contracts have yet to be signed, with both sides playing the br…

Comments: 1. Let's hope Apple doesn't do anything to cripple the functionality of third-party, stylus-like tools such as those from Adobe. 2. It'd be great is app developers could distinguish between finger-touch input and that with the stylus. T…

How dull. One thing I hate about the Seattle suburb of Bellevue is the dullness of its buildings. Codes dictate far too much. I like variety. Sounds like Apple stores will soon suffer from that same affliction. Instead of reddish-brown buildings, i…

Looks fine to me. I will have to learn my way around the new structure, but once learned, it should be more straight-forward and simpler. Good move Apple.

Marvelous! I love Google Voice, particularly the voice mail to text message feature. But it's a stand-alone service that requires my main phone number to be a GV number. That doesn't work well. I've long been frustrated that marketing-driven cell c…

$25 for what's little more than a cardboard box? No thanks!

Remember Apple's "1884" ad? With IBM buying oodles of MacBooks, it looks like 2015 "won't be like 1984."

I'm a skeptic. The very traits that make a company successful in one area often make it ill-adapted for other areas.

Alas, a separate app store means we'll have to buy again apps we already have. That negates one of iOS's better features.

Why upgrade? Apple isn't doing enough to distinguish their latest tablet hardware from earlier models. They should add: 1. GPS to non-cellular models. 2. A broader range of USB connectivity. 3. An SD/HC slot. Absent #1, there should be a built-i…

How irritating. Apple seems to be creating a nanny operating system that treats users like children who need to have their every step guided by someone wiser. It also reminds me of Microsoft's irritating Clippy. It'd try to type something and Clipp…

Jobs "brutal" behavior is well-documented. It's easy to suspect that the fond memories these Apple executives have for him now flow in part from the fact that he made them stupendously rich and that he's now dead, unable to trouble them any more. It…

Kremlinology over actual facts? Sorry, but that make no sense. What are the actual sales of Apple watches? Apple's not saying and is bundling that income with other items. That suggests that they're less than spectacular. That's not surprising. Ap…

Quote from potatoleeksoup: "Anyone here use Overcast as their podcast player? Heard good things about it, though I'm plenty happy with Apple's player." It's not feature rich, but the smart audio processing it absolutely marvelous. Before getting it…

There's another option the budget conscious might consider: get a used iPhone 5 or 5s for your favorite cellular carrier. You get a similar feature set, plus a cell phone without the hefty cost of a cellular contract.

Do I care about 'designer' packaging? Not at all. It's quickly ripped apart and discarded. Those who "oooh" and "ahhh" while they open a box are just being silly.

Some of the plans are, shall we say, not very impressive. You'd think that, with such a large potential market, GigSky could have worked out better and more consistent plans with these cellular providers. What they're selling looks like a hodge-podg…
