At Verizon store last week. Asked about new phones. Sure said the sales guy. Do you want a Samsung 3 or a Samsung 4? Don't you offer iPhones? Sure said the sales guy. Do you want an iPhone 4 or a 4s? Don't you offer the iPhone 5? Sure said the sales…

California cool trumps DC sleaze.

Cook has so much more class than McCain.

:???: Apple built the biggest, best company on earth, in history, and in the US. And we vilify it for no good reason? Not vilified? "It's unacceptable that corporations like Apple are able to exploit tax loopholes to avoid paying billions in taxes,"…

Ah. Dilger and Dediu. Nice.

Imagine how much OS filth that means: http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/05/14/mobile-malware-exploding-but-only-for-android

Remember when computer "XPerts" would recommend Windows for home use? to everyone? And many of the XPerts knew that it was a dangerous decision that cost many thousands, maybe millions, of home users data and drives. Same history rolling out again: …

And water is free? Really?

People who draw diagrams ... hmmm ... Will Apple do a plastic phone? Nope. The subsidy phone market messes up this move ... until iPhone dominance in the US slows. Follow the money; Apple gets about $450 per phone. Right now, Apple is expanding con…

"Apple's iPhone is notably absent from the list, but it appears that the handset is included in the promotion." Here's why: A Samsung buyer pays US carriers the same total (contract plus phone) for Galaxies as iPhone 5s. Carriers pay much less to …

Saying tablets are dying with a straight face, much less a smirk, is why this guy gets the big bucks.

"Please, Apple, I know I zapped you on Ping but now I have a great deal for you: I take over the iOS home page and put ads on it. What's not to like? Love that iOS. Mark."

"... provide it's own default search engine ..." Agreed. Google lives on the mystique of search. But Google search is sophisticated to further its own purposes, not ours. Ninety percent of searches are abysmally simple and not rocket surgery.

Fair enough: Amazon and Facebook and Samsung will all stick forks in Android; Google does it to Webkit. But Google is an honorable co and so it will be open ... no matter what.

Eventually Apple must do a world phone. When? Not now. When? Apple knows; Wall Street blows. When? Not when it receives $450 from US carriers for each unit and sells about 70 percent of the US smartphone market. Doing a cheap phone now would be terr…

I wish Apple would take all the Google apps off of iOS. Google pays Apple about a $billion a year for the privilege; Apple doesn't need another billion. It needs to stop Google's looney machinations. Cf. maps and reader.

Apple's iCloud still needs work but it's kinda magical, knitting together all my devices so I can move seamlessly from one to the next without manual updates. I would never let Amazon or Google have that kind of information cus' "free" is way too …

Innovation without disruption is novelty, not innovation. Google's Glass and Pixel are gimmicks, not products. Pure puerile posturing. When Apple produced the iPhone and iPad, it manned up with real live CE products that uprooted multiple market sec…
