Nokia N9 with Meego was an all-swipe based UI with no home button....great device until Nokia went all-in with Microsoft WP and abandoned Meego.

Who cares.....lame lame marketing on Apple's part...paying celebrities to wear a watch they would normally never wear.

I agree with below statement about HERE Maps and the data and navigation quality globally. Apple should buy HERE Maps - these assets don't come on the market everyday and the cost, time and effort to build a global map is enormous. The strategic p…

Well, I certainly hope that the next macbook pro has a lightening port unlike the new macbook. There are some going points made above. Will the two co-exist and have multiple ports in the near future - I hope so.

I agree with you TBell - perhaps you misinterpreted my point - companies like Apple use existing loopholes to benefit for shareholders - they are doing nothing illegal but this is WHY exactly we need reform. The US government is so messed up…
