I have a question. Work will pay for this. Already have a MacBook Pro retina. 1.2 megahertz is available now 1.3 megahertz is available is 3-4 weeks For me, price is immaterial. What do people think will be the performance difference will be…

This was kind of the case though for Macbook Air gen 1 and gen 2. I owned both. Gen 1 was expensive and flawed. My version frequently overheated and slowed t a crawl. 1 USB port often was a real hassle (as was no SD card). I also had the expen…

I have the same questions. Would have preferred 13 inch. Would have preferred 2 USB-C ports to 1. Very concerned on performance of processor. I had the first and 2nd generation Macbook Airs. The first gen, looked cool, but having only 1 USB cre…

Disagree. Companies routinely do indeed send out misdirection. But not in this case. Two issues: -Samsung is a huge global conglomerate with massive r&d (and bigger marketing to push products too as they need to build hype in a way that app…

The S3 is a great phone (weaker iOS, but still great phone). I may go android (though for the convenience of the ecosystem with my mac computers and iPad am say 60% likely to stay and get iPhone 5). Lots of other people I know are thinkin…

See the article. More generally - the MS Word had spell correct of a less aggresive type before the iphone ever existed, the one click amazon patent it tried to get would probably have invalidated purchases in iTunes. What a horrible sys…

Patenting One Click for Amazon, slide to unlock and autocorrecting text are very egregious as well. This stifles innovation rather than supports it as it is hard to argue patenting such ideas leads to more innovation. Look at Blackberry …

Really. We really want to live in a world in which predictive text or sliding to unlock any device is permanently patented to one company. This stifles innovation. By contrast, the tablet injunction was also based on look and feel (a lawye…

Bizarre rumor, but my quick takes 1. The number of rumors and supply chain stuff on some kind of iPad3 in March is hgih enough to make it credible. Little else is. 2. Other than processor and retina screen res, doesn't sound like a big impr…

I agree with your points. But further proof someone like you should have written the ad. Note the Blueray option, the dedicated GPU for games, maybe wider range of PC software. Quote: Originally Posted by kpluck I am not sure what was wors…

People are just too cynical. Devices like this can really help someone's quality of life. I noticed they had some OB/GYN calendars on it as well as some drug reference databases. These seem handy to me. For example, Dr. gets paged at dinner with…

I'm looking to buy the Imac. Work is paying and so I'm not that price sensitive. Just offends the sensibilities a bit. I also fear that it will be dated very quickly and the video card issue does worry me and I'm totally NOT a power user or natur…
