A year back I needed a small, light computer that could be part of my carry on when I flew (no checked luggage) and my MacBook Pro didn't fit the bill. The MacBook Air was just too expensive for me, so I checked reviews of netbooks. They were all…

How do you block these scumbags? They add nothing to the discussion, in fact they detract with their misinformation and poorly argued points. Never feel sorry for geeks -- they're social outcasts for a reason.

Great reply; man's got moxie!

I'm planning to sink 40 to 50,000 euros into Apple stock in the next few months. I'm willing to bet that in a year or two the stock will be worth quite a bit more; I don't think 44% growth is unreasonable.

See, there's that "American fairness" thing where it's considered open-minded to accept bullshit. "I think Obama's not American." "Well, you're entitled to your opinion..." No, you're not, it's not a matter of opinion but of FACTS. "They found…

I use a Nokia 6300 -- nice little phone, does the job, no one gets hurt. Anyway, the manual clearly states that the top part of the phone should not be held, as this is where the antenna is placed and it may interfere with reception. People wh…

Really looking forward to the second generation iPad. Like with the 2nd gen iPhone Touch, I"m expecting substantive improvements.

The iPhone just keeps getting better. Competition from Android (and maybe Windows 7 Phone, *snigger*?) is good to keep pushing Apple to be competitive in price and features. Let's hope the iPad sees some real competition and ups its game for …

As Ballmer and his PC minions said, it'll never catch on.

Great rebuttal, addabox. I'm truly sick of the Apple haters for whom the glass is ALWAYS half-empty. I truly do believe they're envious geeks, one and all.

Where's the love, people? I use an early 2008 MacBook Pro with Leopard, but it's also partitioned with Windows XP Pro because I like to play games. XP Pro with SP 3 is very stable and I use AVG free to keep malware at bay. Sure, OS X is cle…

Wow. Just wow. SanDisk boss says his mp3 players can't beat iPods in terms of sales. Then out come the trolls with no facts or figures, so they have to resort to vague and unsubstantiated claims; I hear iPods give you the clap. So there! I …

Boy, I've seen this TechStud loser skulking around twisting facts, figures, and syntax, but who's this Seahawk dullard? I'm all for honest debate, but these trolls should just be ignored. Oh, yeah, and Apple's dead. Clearly.
