Apple needs to improve its quality control AND transparency when there is a problem. By the way, Mukei, it's 'hence,' not 'whence.' Not singling you out, but judging by most forum posts I see, the state of education (or at least English gramma…

The person from Redmond has a point, despite him or herself (I suspect a nerdy man, but you never know). Not the unsubstantiated general claim that Apple is producing 'garbage' of course, but the fact that quite a few of Apple's releases have suffer…

This ad's mildly funny, though I'd love to see Ballmer taking Gates' role and trying to act human. I run Windows XP Pro on my MacBook Pro without problems, but no way I'd 'update' to Vista based on the overwhelming number of negative reports. How…

I'm VERY glad I pulled the trigger early in April and bought a 2.5 Ghz MacBook Pro. If a newly-designed MacBook Pro does arrive mid-October, this'll mean I'll have gotten a clear six months with a top-of-the-line laptop, and whatever replaces it is …

To the British dude worried about the top graphics card only being 256 MB -- if you go to the compare specs section on the British website, it lists the top-end 15" MacBook Pro as having a 512 MB graphics card, so I think it's a mistake on the main …

It doesn't surprise me that German iPhone sales are soft; Germans tend to look for good bargains, and aren't SO concerned with status symbols. I predict the Italian launch will be HUGE, despite price. I've spent a lot of time in Italy, and Italia…

My observations suggest that McDonalds too exerts a gravitational pull, with a whopping 93% of those coming within twenty-five feet of the entrance actually going in and 100% of entrants making a purchase. Beat that, Apple! I should apply for …

Incoming calls to a cell phone are free in France and Germany. So you phone a friend "quick, call me back. I'm on my cell phone." Do that enough, you don't have many friends left. Two hours a month. This reminds me of the U.S. - seven years ag…

Someone help me out here -- how long was it between the introduction of the first video iPod for a crazy $599 and its price being slashed? Did it go down to $499 or $399? Wonder what, if any, the historical precedent for this is in terms of Apple…
