I don't get what the split between new and existing purchasers tells us about cannibalization. I know this is probably the easiest figure to measure, and that's why it is always used, but in my eyes it does not mean anything with regard to the can…

I have noticed a bug where I get multiple calender entries of single contacts-based events (e.g. birthdays, anniversaries) when I sync the calendar using GMail account settings and the same account's contacts using the CardDAV protocol. "Multiple" h…

Still Micro SIM, no Nano? That's really strange... Of course there is no actual need, but that is true of the old 30 pin plug, too. So for compatibility reasons I was sure Apple would go Nano here too.

I'm wondering if the mini will be an el cheapo design, using only trusted components (essentially the iPad 2 with a smaller scre, derived from iPhone 3GS), or if Apple thinks they can't, even with a 'low cost device', enter into the market with such…

Do the shareholders have to sell their shares if the company's management decides to sell at a certain price under US law? Just asking because that would work here quite differently...

Does anyone know if there are plans to support AirDrop on iOS devices? Now that it's getting pervasive through most Apple applications, this should definitely be supported. Guess the WLAN chipset in iOS devices doesn't support it yet (as with olde…

What annoys me most with Address Book / now Contacts are: Can't sync with more than one Google / GApps contacts accounts, although that's more a fault of Google's because they don't support the CardDAV standard. Double-clicking in a c…

For a starter, one should definitely read this review alongside Paul Thurrot's of Windows Super Site (http://www.winsupersite.com/article/...le-iPad-2.aspx). It's a different evaluation of just about every single feature (like: "For the first time d…

I've read exactly the same phrase (translated into German) in a Mac/Apple history printed in a German Apple magazine (I think; may have been somewhere else, though) a year ago or so. He must have fallen in love with his frankness and apparently repe…

Once more on pricing: To avoid any US / Europe differences accounting for different prices in the first place, I'd just point out that the price increase over the previous Mac mini (which wasn't cheap to begin with, but was ok) is EUR 250 or USD …
