The Walter Issacson book was a big disappointment. Despite all the hype, for those that were familiar with many of the well publicized events in the life of Jobs, it was just a rehash, and an uninspired one at that. I was really hoping for some g…

Strikes me as a bit bass ackwards, maybe it's just me but I find using my thumb the most natural digit for using the fingerprint sensor - hands down (... phone up ...) (pun intended). The only way that my index finger would find itself resting o…

Love the video, love the calligraphy, love the effort by Apple to bring these together. I had previously read about this at Business Insider early in the week; they had posted a translation that seemed clunky and almost machine made, with a last lin…

This looks pretty limited and clunky but for all the derision directed at Google Glass and now this project by MS, you can bet on it that Apple is tinkering around with their own version of an eyeglass-like wearable. I read that they've had things l…

Clear, quick, obvious and right ... This shouldn't have been dragged on so long. One small consolation is the time and treasure wasted by whoever was behind this. That is just deserts of a sort ...

Tim is a very honorable person and has been an outstanding leader at Apple, taking the position under extremely difficult circumstances. But that said, choosing him as 'Person of the Year' with all the brushfires going on in the world right now wo…

Phsst … revenue is up 12% YoY, and EPS is up 20% YoY. I'll take that any day. Far more important than any one product stat, even the iPhone, despite people who try to paint Apple as a one trick pony.

Even his analogy rings wrong - flat out lifting an iPad and paying nothing. Not saying that I support his argument but if I understand his position, it would be more analogous to someone going to an Apple store, selecting a $400 iPad and paying $370…

I'm really hoping that Apple wins all these damages and more. Not only do they deserve it, but it might? almost cover the damages that they could be owing from their portion of the class action, anti-poaching lawsuit!

Long over due, hoping this rumor is true and that springtime is the launch date.

This whole case truly makes my head spin. Going to the WSJ and reading the comment section there is mostly an exercise in the vast spectrum of political spin doctoring leaning heavily toward the side of 'well, all those SV democrats supported Obama …
