No no, it will be called: WinOS X

Just ordered through apple store app. I HAD to select "upgrade this phone" vs "upgrade another phone on this account", it let me to the next screen and I was able to enter a different cellular number (I want to upgrade my wife's phone, not mine) an…

Err, he said SC not NC. It indeed doesn't find Columbia, SC properly. I think the current app is having issues with abbreviations, I had a issue where it couldn't find "foo dr" but it did find "foo drive".

Frankly I'd be far more concerned if for some reason Apple WASN'T fully aware of all the issues, wouldn't say much for their QA if that were the case. And as someone else has already mentioned, it's interesting how Apple mistakes are front p…

I'm surprised no one has said anything about Apple convincing the USB group to define a third type of connector. We have USB A and B (and standard, mini, micro variants), Apple will introduce to the world the USB Micro-C connector. I see them wa…

Apple is walking a fine line here. I don't think that they actually want to be in the display business, they are much better off keeping their options open. However, they obviously have a major competitor in Samsung who does have an advantage in…

I think some folks need to adjust what is meant by "ipad killer". Just like the OEM's, folks seem to be reading too much into the hardware specs of the device. Any iPad fan should know that it's not the hardware that sells the thing, it's its over…

OK, guess I'm clueless. I guess I can kinda see how having the exterior glass be a bit curved might look cool, heck it might even feel pretty cool to hold, but I just really don't "get it" with regards to exactly why they'd want to go down this pat…

Is it just me or, based from the renderings, does anyone else think the old cube looked better? I understand Steve's preference for simplicity but I think that there is also an element of visual interest involved and the added hardware helped to pr…

Call me a contrarian but I don't think it's a good idea at all to allow Win8/ARM to run Win/x86 apps. I can't believe folks are actually saying that the ability to run x86 desktop apps on a tablet was supposed to be some type of selling point. M$ …

Ahh goog, gotta love those guys, 1023 patents, guess they were starting at 0?
