Hilarious! Look at that line of people waiting for their first chance to get an Apple Watch. Wow, there must be at least thirty people in line. I've seen many times that waiting in line when all Apple was doing was opening a new store and giving awa…

All the poor black kids growing up in impoverished, fatherless homes. All the young black men slaughtering each other on the streets of cities such as Detroit. There's also the readful inner city schools and liberals who fight to keep the poor from …

Quote: "Perhaps more significantly the new director will be responsible for crafting letters, position papers, and testimony with the goal of persuading lawmakers and regulators to adopt policies friendly to Apple's business practices and profits." …

Toss out the Confederate battle flag, and there's a heck of other material that has to go from the app store, often for much more serious reasons. 1. Any game with Nazi or Communist flags and symbols. They enslaved and killed millions of people. A…

Poor, pitiful Apple. The company yanks a Civil War game merely because it contains the flags of both belligerents. Yet it continues to sell a film that glories slavery. Even worse, the iTunes Store doesn't have the decency to include a trigger warni…

You're probably right. This is probably more some company trying to influence Apple than vice-versa. Apple has done a marvelous job innovating their iPhones. That's why their sales are soaring. In contrast, they've innovated poorly with their iP…

Why on earth would I%u2014or anyone with sense%u2014want a "flexible iPhone"? Like a couple of flip phones I had, that flexibility hurts reliability. I hope this isn't more of Ive's artistic silliness like thinness.

Ah great, now maybe we'll have a Bluetooth protocol specifically designed for transmitting GPS data from a GPS-equipped device such as an iPhone to an unequipped ones such as most iPads. That'd make location-aware features more valuable.

I've often wondered why Apple and others don't take advantage of powerful digital TV signals. They're strongest in big cities where GPS often fails. GPS signals come directly downward from satellites and are typically blocked by a building's upper f…

Those who think this troll shouldn't be forced to pay simply because Apple has so much money should think again. 1. Trolls make no such distinction between rich and poor. In fact, they make quite a bit of money from smaller companies who can't affo…

Quote: It's not about pop culture, and it's not about fooling people, and it's not about convincing people that they want something they don't. We figure out what we want. And I think we're pretty good at having the right discipline to think through…

I hope these teacher apps are not as terrible as the set of apps that Apple/IBM have created for nursing staff. That set seems to assume that nurses face the same issues as sales managers, issues that can be best solved by to-do lists. Nurses need…

I'll begin to take all these companies seriously when they give us a public key encryption that's built-in and virtually automatic. Exchange a single set of emails with someone on whatever platform and, unless we choose otherwise, we've got encrypti…

Yeah, thicker! End the tyrannous regime of thinness. Down with the artists. Up with the engineers. What Apple needs is a new line of products much like the white MacBooks and (until recently) the Mac mini. Deliberately indifferent to fads and style…

I'd second that suggestion that Jason Snell, formerly of MacWorld, be given the job. I hope the poster who says "that Apple News is a custom format that has to be authored much like iBooks" is wrong. I assume he means those special iBooks Author b…

Now if Apple would just buy rights to the marvelous podcast listening tools in Overcast and license them to any and all.

As a book author, I'm impressed with Apple's willingness to offer generous payments to content creators when they deal directly with it. The iBookstore pays authors 70% of an ebook's retail prices at all prices from $0.99 to $199.99 with no download…

Others might suspect something a bit more devious is going on here. At this moment, software development is one of the best paying middle-class occupations in this country. The executives for companies such as Apple and Google are less than happy ab…

Good move by Apple. My only use for a laptop is writing in Scrivener when away. When the iOS version comes out, my current iPad can easily replace my aging white MacBook.

Apple is getting big on maps, including transit maps. Pittsburg might be a good location to manage the mapping data for the eastern half of the U.S. It's about equidistance from Chicago and NYC.
