Lolliver - I suspect they're not after Apple customers, these are 'reassurance branding' - their agency has probably established that a lot of their customer base are 'anti-Apple' in the same way that Apple customers were once 'anti-PC' and liked to…

It doesn't need to be universal, it just needs to be accepted by the largest retailers, which is where most of our money is spent. Would a large supermarket chain do something just for Apple users? Yes, because many of them developed iOS only applic…

Kolchak - in the timescales we're talking about, I'm guessing that cloud-based virtualization will eliminate a significant number of requirements for Bootcamp / Parallels. Not for everyone, but then lots of us have been dropped along the way in Appl…

I presume someone has patented the patent-troll process? Can't we use them to bring all the other patent trolls down. I don't think this is double-dipping, as Apple themselves do 'In-App' purchases (and have done for some time). On the other …

Funny, because the last time I had an issue with a piece of HP hardware, I couldn't even log a support issue, because it was more than 12 months old (so out of guarantee). Good way to keep the support tickets down, but not a good way to find out …

Rosetta/PowerPC apps - your best bet is going to be some kind of VM. Hopefully Apple will turn a blind eye, in the same way they have to people offering emulations of older Macs. That's still going to lose the seamless integration that Rosetta o…

I don't know if Kindle is a killer App for the iPad. I can't imagine reading anything long-form on the iPad - but it has a big advantage for reference books (speed, colour). With the Kindle priced as it is, I don't think it's an either/or decision. …

HP have plenty of engineering talent - don't forget they still have one of the major Unix distributions, and a lot of engineering talent in the ARM/mobile and embedded device space too. They are not Dell. They've never been strong on client/deskt…

Hmm. So that explains why every attempt at an open games console platform, since MSX in the 80s, has collapsed. And Java. Equally, by the same logic, Unix should have succeeded, and Windows failed (well, actually that is what's happening now) - …

The other thing that came across to me is that he's basically out of his depth, talking about programming and technical issues he doesn't understand (although largely to an audience of journalists who don't understand them either, so that's OK).

I'm loving the tool fidelity argument. The same one was brought up with the iPhone not supporting Java/J2ME - that there is this great army of developers out there, who could develop applications, if only the devices supported the language they know…

This is an interesting one, because it's actually reminds me of the early days of Microsoft - where the company worked around the IT department, pitching the benefits of the PC to management, and then the IT department being forced to support the PC…

My guess is that it's not going to be that sophisticated - it's largely going to be something that will identify 'unportable' C and C++ constructs - something that good OS X developers should already be avoiding to keep code portable between PPC and…

I love the idea that journalists still see Google as 'innovative' and Apple as 'design and style'. Without being down on Google's technical skills at all, I see little evidence that, as a company, they are more innovative than their competitors, …

Interesting times ahead. If you wanted to make Android better, who would you hire

Thought : to what degree is it worth letting out news of a security problem break, and then issuing a fix within 48 hours, knowing people will want to install it - versus the problems that are patched and fixed without ever breaking as news? It …
