This is a terrific feature addition! Does anyone know what is required to produce read-aloud titles for iBooks? (PS this feature isn't only suitable for children's books) Do I need to buy into the Mac developer program?

I get a kick out of how upset some people get over FOX news, their reporting, and management. Is FOX biased? Yes. Is ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, etc. biased? Yes! They all are. They are run and owned by people that have their own unique wor…

Remember, Flash was promoted by Microsoft years ago in their quest to destroy QuickTime. Macromedia optimized Flash for the PC because Microsoft was their biggest customer. If my Mac crashes it's always when Flash is running. Coincidence? I thin…

Skip, The Palm platform was such a resounding success in it's day that people continue to have strong positive feelings towards it. Until they went to Win CE as an OS they were the ones to beat. The iPhone and OSX are now the leaders in terms of a…

Microsoft is so full of wonderful, fanciful stories... they might as well be producing children's picture books! Ha!! Now that would be interesting wouldn't it? Would they use watercolors, crayons, or MS Paint to create the pictures Stan He…

This conference will be interesting - I and a bunch of folks have been waiting for updates of the pro apps (Final Cut Studio, Shake, etc.) I've been figuring that everything has been held back for Snow Leopard to be released and grab the spotlight.…

A larger format Kindle would be great, I could see many more people adopting it simply for the larger screen and all that would allow. However, as mentioned previously it would need to do more. It needs to become more like an iPod Touch with applica…

I think some moderate pricing concessions are smart right now. Apple needs to grow market share for future performance across the board. Stan P.S. my son came up with an idea to help people laid-off in this economic climate. Go to http://www.…

I bought a 40 gig Apple TV back when it was first introduced - it was great back then and is simply amazing with the software upgrade. The size of the rental library is not under Apple's control as mentioned by others in this thread. The studio's pr…

I'd only be interested if there is an option to download an HD version that makes the AppleTV experience worthwhile. Renting a low-res iPod compatible version and playing it on an HDTV is incredibly stupid. I already have access to low-res video tha…
