Yes, because booting the OS a few seconds faster is one of the main reasons people buy Apple computers. They rake in so much profit from this.

I'd actually like to see this become moderately successful. I have no plans to buy one, but it would be good for the people who "hate Apple" to have a good tablet platform instead of the terrible Android. I say this as someone who has experienced an…

Google bid $4 billion, so clearly they believe that these patents were worth something. It's kind of odd to see them now saying that the patents are going for more than they are worth. Four billion dollars. It's also odd to see them bring up t…

I used Airdrop on two late 2008 MacBooks. I tried to copy over a 1GB video file. It was slow as hell for some reason. It was going to take an hour. I cancelled the copy after a few minutes. I have no idea why it was so slow. I would assume it would …

Quote: On the flip side, the bundled iLife apps you get on your new notebook are tied to that hardware and won't show up as available downloads on other Macs you own. Quoted from the review. This statement is not true. I bought a new MacBook…

More importantly, why would Apple do anything considering these stores are supposedly selling legit products?

I bought a new MBA and I can answer this. It appears that the App Store does not treat the pre-installed Lion as an "App". You cannot use it to install on your other computers. In fact, the store doesn't even allow a pre-installed Lion to re-down…

I was also wondering about this. Based on the specs, I thought the i5 Airs would just be dual-core with no hyper threading. I assumed hyper threading was only an i7 thing, if at all. I am about an hour into using my new 13" Air, and there are 4 C…

Bah. None of the stores in the Toronto area have the new hardware yet. I immediately ordered online but I am hoping the stores get it before the weekend.

And here it is.

MacBook Air to drop the "Air" surname and replace the current MacBook. You heard it here first*. *Disclaimer: You probably didn't hear it here first.

While Plex can sometimes have a few quirks, it is lightyears beyond Front Row for usability. Once you get Plex installed and arrange your library of videos, it needs no maintenance and works great. I'm not even talking about any sort of configura…

I can't beileve they are trying to bullshit their way out of this one. Does this quote sound "speculative": We have worked with Apple for quite awhile, and the tablet is going to be based on the iPhone operating system, and so it will be transfe…

At first I pictured a vertical listing of browsers, using a radio button control, with safari pre-selected. I thought, "ok, I guess this guy has a point, even though it is a very weak point." Then I see the real selection box! It isn't even worth…

If authors/publishers want more money for their work, then why don't they negotiate for more money when they authorize their songs for sale in the itunes store?
