Melgross, I really get the impression that you are struggling to find objections to this proposal, and further that this comes from your objection to regulation/standardisation of things in general. I wonder if you've ever considered that maybe you …

The main thing that amazes me about the comments here is how many people oppose this clearly sensible proposal simply on the political grounds that it is endorsed by the EU and smacks to them of "socialism". This is such a blinkered approach to the …

I'm all for standardisation in cases like this, and all for regulation in order that it is achieved as quickly as possible. However I do think that they've standardised the wrong end of the cable here. Why not standardise on a power brick with a sta…

I still treasure my 2.4GHz MacBook purchased well over a year ago now. Irrespective of the upgraded graphics and bus speed, Apple really are short-changing us on processor speed. The lowest speed now available should be something in the order of 2.6…

There would have been MUCH more done to shift the focus away from Steve by now if he was in a seriously bad way. Having a couple of other people share one keynote is not sufficient to qualify as focus-shifting. Do you really think that is all they w…

@ wizard69: Are you really for real? If you are then you're seriously talking out of an orifice other than your mouth. Your post is so wrong in so many ways that it's not worth even starting with it...

Look at this in another way. If it was true that Steve Jobs' health is poor to the degree of it being life-threatening, don't you think that the succession would have been sorted out LONG before now. Also that the focus would have been much more sol…

The speed at which the iPhone is now selling is a clear demonstration that the previous price point was too high. How could Apple expect it to be as big a success in the UK as in the USA when it was sold at a much higher price? $399 = £200, not £269…

The biggest omission for me is the lack of a built-in SD card slot. Why not incorporate one? They don't take up much space and it would be an ideal way to expand storage. With 16GB cards becoming available that 80GB limit ceases to be such an issue,…

I would love to have an iPhone but I've bought an iPod Touch instead. I'd prefer an iPhone, but I'm not prepared to pay the inflated rip-off price for it (£269 against what should be roughly £169 - at the current exchange rate taking VAT into accoun…

What I want to know is whether this will work with iCal Server and the Leopard Server common Directory. If so this is Wonderful. If it only works with a local database then it's still Good, but not quite Wonderful.
