Google willfully engineered a way around the do not track feature, violating user's wishes. Think of all the privacy protections that Google is bypassing on its Android phones. If they have no regard for one user, then Google has the same disregar…

When an app attempts to access files from another app, like your contacts db, Mt Lion will display an authorization alert. So before dismissing an alert, fully read it first. This will become more common as OS X, Apple & third party apps are f…

Steve Jobs personally asked Bill Gates for the financial assistance. At the time, Apple was a few months from bankruptcy, Steve Jobs had just returned to Apple as unofficial CEO. The investment was packaged as a licensing agreement for microsoft, …

Running late for a Genius appt., I was rushing through the Fashion Valley mall in San Diego. A tad preoccupied with making the appt., I had the Apple Store app running, knowing that I could connect to their customer support… was halfway into the st…

While Google has updated the GoogleMaps for Android, as stated in the article, Google has not given equal access to non-Android devices as a way of differentiating Android's OS, or punishing non-Android users. Hence, iOS still uses the original laye…

Apple may have suggested updates to EPEAT, unfortunately, EPEAT seems unwilling to discuss the issue. As for Apple, their newest compact notebooks appear to fail the easily deconstructed requirement, since they have had to glue the display to the a…

Apple insider membership fees are paid upfront everytime we visit this site & view all the pretty ad content. Like the iAd for Chase Bank… er… now a TNT advert… oh, wait, back to Chase again…

In order to sell 3 iPhone models @ the same time, Apple will have to continue differentiating all 3 models to avoid confusion. Whereas, Apple only sells the current model of iPad & its notebook & desktop lines Cheers !

This has been a long time in development: • Apple has had lots of time to plan out how their new maps app should appear & function, to beta test & even buy the resources to make this work • Google has had time to plan & prepare for th…

It was my understanding that Apple told developers when the Apple UDID was no longer at their use, that developers would have to create their own style UDID. So THR open source UDID should not be an issue Cheers !

Apple does not have assembly plants anywhere. They hire contract manufacturing & assembly firms. That said, for Apple to move from Asia to US plants would require US contract firms. In the size that Apple requires, those do not exist here in …

Microsoft makes no money from the iPhone's Mail app, outside of a small licensing fee that Apple pays to Microsoft. By offering their own app, they'll make more money, which is why they are going to offer it, same as Office. In a desperate hope for …

Oddly, Apple was pushing the same model for ebooks that it uses in selling software, music & videos. The supplier sets the price & Apple gets 30%. This means that Apple assumes all of the risk as they handle all of the marketing & promot…

Those unsubstantiated rumors @ Apple wanting to put ARM CPUs inside of their MacBook Airs are ridiculous. Apple dosn't want to cripple the MacBook Air success by outfitting them with smartphone processors. The Ivy Bridge CPUs are far more powerful,…
