oh dear.... I have to say that it continues to baffle me how Microsoft can continue to put out such terrible consumer products. I absolutely blame it squarely on inept, stubborn, and greedy management. Over the last few years as I got into des…

I don't know about all this.. I would be *FURIOUS* if Apple releases an iPhone on Verizon that is is some half-ass cheapo version of the "real" iPhone. Other issues: - There is nothing new with using a "system-on-a-chip". EVERY cellphone on t…

update: Verizon expects their first LTE phones in the second half of 2011, and even then they will have to support CDMA as a fallback. So Apple will be working with CDMA anyways, and it makes one more reason they should have produced a CDMA iPhone. …

I'm already written about this too many times, so i'll keep it short. It would be an understatement to say that I am disappointed that Apple doesn't *already* have a CDMA iPhone. There is NO legitimate argument for not creating one (or using a du…

Oh, as expected, continued rip-off margins...

This doesn't make sense from any sort of logical business perspective. As I posted before, 1) CDMA 3G is going to maintain widespread use on many CDMA carriers for sometime. Widespread use of LTE and in particular full, widespread service cove…

24mbps using wifi? I guess using a wifi radio is convenient since it is already present in the device, but Whatever happened to UWB with speeds of 400mbps?? I know wireless USB was using it but ithough it was being integrated into the next version o…

Well its about time, but obviously this should be available as a BTO in the store. Selling an expensive ass workstation without even the OPTION of a Pro OpenGL card is pathetic. The 4870 is a good card for those not working in CAD/CAM/3D DCC, but s…

Appears simple to me.. They already have the terms in place to limit users to 5GB per month, so how in the world can they possibly justify limiting what users can do with that 5GB ?? Besides, if it was such a major issue than wouldn't Apple just…

AT&T exclusivity is definitely starting to hurt the iPhone, and I don't see a compelling reason to continue it. I would imagine seeing millions more sales if they introduced it onto Verizon and/or Sprint, not to mention all of the here-to-fore-l…

I've mostly been using a Windows laptop lately, and am waiting to get a new Mac Pro. I don't have a lot of experience trying different office suites on OSX, so I wanted to know what you guys think. Is the Mac Office as good/capable (or more so) t…

I love how all these cities have or are getting multiple Apple stores, and Vancouver B.C. --- which is one of the largest cities in western North America -- still has yet to get an Apple store. I was there about a year ago, and I was SHOCKED that th…

Once again, it blows my mind that seemingly every article speculating on future iPhone hardware and AT&T's 3G network fails to even mention or acknowledge that data communication is a two-way street! It's not just about download speeds! Obvious…

I still wonder why everyone is talking about 7.2mbpa hsdpa download or 80211n in reference to the 'higher sped' rumor of the next iPhone. While both do make sense, it seems the next logical progression of the technology is to get hsupa (the fast low…

HELLO?! How can you write such a long post about the future of cellphone tech in regards to the iPhone and completely forget about the fact that the current iPhone 3G does not yet support HSUPA -- the upload portion of HSPA. It's pretty obvious that…
