People also forget that Apple could get hauled into court by the Feds for possible patent portfolio abuse. It's not as crazy as it sounds. If you have taken a first-year college course in economics, you may remember the famous US v. United Shoe M…

JeffDM, Remember, Apple will soon come close to treading on legal thin ice by deliberately banning Flash from the iPad--especially if Adobe proves the upcoming Flash 10.1 will have little effect on the battery life of the iPad. The fact one of th…

I still think if Adobe proves that Flash 10.1--which offloads Flash code processing to the GPU to reduce CPU usage--has little effect on overall battery performance, we may be heading for a potential legal showdown over Flash on the iPad as a violat…

I think people forget that Apple has a financial vested interest in replacing Flash with HTML 5.0--they're trying to push the spec almost alone, along with some support from Google (interestingly, Google Chrome works with HTML 5.0 better than Safari…

Apple is NOT winning friends in the Web authoring community, especially with the upcoming Flash 10.1, which takes better advantage of the memory management in MacOS X 10.5/10.6 and also uses a lot of GPU calls to make Flash vastly less CPU intensive…

If you want a great online gaming experience, go with Xbox 360, thanks to the Xbox Live service. However, be aware that the Xbox 360 has a history of a lot of hardware failures, though. But if you want something that can do more than just gaming…

In regards to the lack of true multitasking on the iPad--don't forget the rumored iPhone OS 4.0, which may make an appearance just before WWDC 2010. It's likely that now there is enough hardware "oomph," iPhone OS 4.0 will be able to actually do mul…

I for one would LOVE to see Apple offer the "iSlate" without 3G cellphone connectivity--make it either 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi support or even offer a 100Base-T Ethernet port, which will save users potentially thousands of dollars per year in cellphone bi…
