Quote: They're not wrong. The hardware upgrades were entirely predictable. And the big surprise was roll-up covers? IMO the roll-up covers look like a great surprise. I mean the iPad and Xoom are already 50% thicker to start with and this new c…

Quote: Why is the RAM size important to you? Are there programs today that you can't run in the current iPad's RAM space? More memory wI'll be very important. I woud like more on my current ipad for the browser. I hate when i switch pages it has…

I want to get the 17 but it gets to be a bit big to lug. Pus the 15 has the SD slot and that means one less cable to forget when I am on the road. On the other hand I can SEE what I am working on with the 17 and its only a $200 diff. Quad core …

Remote wipe....that won't come back to bite them if they release it to John Q Public.

Quote: as far as conductivity, it's better than copper. umm.....you are thinking individual carbon fibers....and only along the fiber axis. In the transverse direction CF composites have a thermal conductivity of about 15 W/mK vs copper (which …
-
Bunk Expensive, prone to cracking, poor thermal conductors, poooor recycling. Composites just are not economically viable imo. How much weight would you actually save for those other tradeoffs?

Macrumors has supposedly confirmed these pictures. I am still unsure. It looks like there is a pixel wide seam running through the left USB port. I am also unsure why you need two USB ports AND a FireWire port if you got this super duper new Thu…

Any see the notch in the middle of the USB port that is next to the supposed Thunderbolt port? Is that usual?

Quote: This has to be the replacement for the white Macbook. The specs don't I don't know. The FireWire port seems to argue against it being a white MacBook replacement. I really font understand the lack of an integrated video controller. I wo…

Quote: OK get Retina or AMOLED screens out of your heads now else you are gonna get disappointed! Agreed. What you should be hoping is a front facing camera, more ram, maaaybe better speakers, and a tiny bit more battery life. iPads are alr…

Results sounds about right. Of course they are missing the point somewhat...Amazon doesnt lose out too badly when they dont sell a Kindle because someone bought an iPad. Where they really lose out if that same someone with an iPad uses iBooks inst…

I am not sure a cloud service is that usefull today. I guess if you have a iPod touch and you have waaaaay more purchased content for it that you can use? Syncing though iTunes for my AppleTV,MBP, iPad, iPhone seems sufficient and I cant think h…

when you install a new (major) version of a program or OS, doesnt Apple make you agree to not sue them for performance issues when you agree to the EULA? There are like 20 pages of fine print on those things. I would be shocked if that kind of thi…

sounds like a pretty big blow for Apple. If the judge follows his staff's reocmmendations could impact a lot more than this case. Not happy about this. I think patent law is in a state of utter chaos. I have a couple and work in an environme…

Quote: The important thing to note, I think, is that WP7 complaints all seem to revolve around these extra features that will be added in, where a lot of complaints about iPhone and Android revolve around fundamental core issues of the platform …

Quote: I don?t see how the iPod sales are the upper limit of all of Apple?s sales outside the iPhone. You dont see that the iPad and iPod lines are primarily content consumption devices? I dont see the iPad radically expanding the addressable m…

Quote: They sold 14 million iPhones in 3 months with an average selling price of $600, so what is the issue? Much of the $600 on the iPhone is hidden by the carrier subsidies. Most people see an iPhone purchase as a $200-300 "upgrade" for somet…
