Does your grocery store have a "discount" card? Does your retailer ask for a phone number when you purchase with cash? I could go on but, both commercial enterprises and governmental entities track our behavior via a variety of venues. In the age…

Wait a minute, the music grand pubas want a special license (Read more money) for me to save my Amazon purchased music on a cloud disc and play same via an Android app or browser. Since I have already purchased the item, what gives Sony et al, the …

Adding 5.1 to Netflix is a welome addition. However, after a quick scan of available streaming movie content very, very few have Dolby. And, while we are discussing Netflix, anyone have any idea why so few HD movies are available? For example, Pr…

As much as I despise parts of the newly enforced app store rules, I oppose government intervention. The Market will sort this out via their wallet. With that said, the app store rules for content providers such as Hulu, Netflix, Amazon (Kindle a…

I like the idea of apps working across different platforms. This allows the consumer to change without having to pay for the same thing twice (Or more). Probably unrealistic to expect the various OS developers to be excited about such a concept. B…

[QUOTE=starbird73;1808196]It doesn't? Like another post states, it puts amazon, netflix, etc on the same playing field as Joe's App Shop. Apple manages the transaction, users know that only one place has their credit card, etc. Plus, think of it thi…

I find the "newly" enforced "rule" to be nothing more than a money grab by AAPL. Vendors such as Netflix and Amazon have helped to build the App Store ecosystem that has pushed the sale of Apple products. Now that the Store has gained widespread p…

Boy, if this in-depth analysis I should have this guys job. If it works, MicroNokia could pick-up 30%-35% of the market. (Obviously no help to Google/Apple). But, if it doesn't - it will help Google/Apple. Well, duh.

Apple already sells a trackpad that works very well with an iMac ($69). Regarding a touchscreen, I would tend to agree with the Steve Jobs quote cited in the article.

My first use would be for the backs of iPods. As it is now a good sneeze creates a scratch.

Agree - the market will decide if a 7" tablet fills the bill or not. I can also recall SJ lambasting video on a mp3 player screen shortly before the first video iPod was introduced.

The "radio" mandate should be a piece of cake. After all, we will soon have a national health insurance mandate imposed on the unwilling.

A GIGO report. What exactly is one to learn from this study? - apparently nothing.

"Wow. I'm speechless at Wu's explanation and understanding of RF engineering. I don't dabble in nuclear engineering, so why is he dabbling in RF engineering when it is painfully obvious that he doesn't have a clue?" And, in your expert opinion…

Dear Chuck: Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to write Steve Jobs about the international iPhone 4 antenna crisis. I'm thrilled a prominent US Senator cares enough about us little people to demand immediate action on this h…

Over priced - under powered. The lack of Turbo Tax integration, poor reporting and minimal investment tracking are show stoppers for me. Intuit continues to drop the ball for Mac users.
