Perhaps the biggest factor is Apple's decision to keep iPadOS hamstrung. Unless you are an artist or someone who uses an iPad in tablet-mode all the time, iPadOS is pretty weak. This coming from someone who spent $2400 on the newest M4 iPad, with Ap…

Absolutely. I'd love to meet who the idiot is who thought putting formerly known as Metro interface on a server OS! I have spent a few hours in Server 2012 and still can barely get around. Those tiles are anything but easy to find what I'm looking…

Can anyone speak to any noticeable speed difference in the ATV2 and ATV3? If I am not interested in the 1080P aspect of it, but rather speed for airplay and such, I know it picked up the 2nd antenna but does that make a difference or does it feel th…

I think Microsoft is on the right vision, being a convergence of all the devices to one OS. However, they are attempting to do in 1-2yrs what Apple has spent since 2007 no doubt planning and moving towards. So Apple has 5 solid years of experience a…

The one vantage point I have not seen shown in the midst of all of this is what if Apple is again seeing low sales, and longer term, they are looking at the future, and seeing a lot less need for such servers to be needed. Most servers support PC…

Apple is a great example of a business that actively seeks to out-innovate itself. It did it with the iPod Mini (replacing it w/ the Nano) and now it is on the cusp of doing it again ( replacing Desktops and Laptops w/ iOS devices). I don't think it…

This is great news in that we can now ignore any rumors that the FCC rejected the iPhone that were no doubt going to come any day now. Glad we avoided a web swarm on that one... It's also nice to know that one more hurdle in the path to actually …

The great thing about no standing salary is that means Jobs makes nothing (well OK $1.00) unless he helps the company perform better. In which case, if he can consistently help the stock raise from the $35 or so a year and a half ago to $107, and do…

My wife and I have been waiting for rentals, especially for newer releases. I just hope they don't actually take until 2008 for them to launch. I can't wait to get an ATV 2.0 and be able to download rentals for these various shows. I would imagine t…

Personally I think Apple is experiencing a chicken/egg kind of scenario. They are busting these movie studios over the head trying to get them to release all their videos onto iTunes, but most are reluctant, and even if they do get in, it has only b…
