The real failure here is the American government allowing a corporation traded on an American stock exchange to report earnings as required by the SEC without levying a tax.

I think a lot of people overlook the value-added that professional hardware and software offers for the consumer level. As an aspirational brand, Apple's consumer level products have a boost when the professionals use Apple products. The perception…

As a consumer fueling their huge cash reserves through higher than average profit margins, I'd much rather have seen Apple commit to making massive investments in research in new technologies. The only thing these dividend payments are doing is chan…

This has class action lawsuit written all over it.

I would have switched to Verizon when I upgraded if they had an unlimited dataplan. Instead I continued with my grandfathered unlimited data on AT&T, not really because I thought I would need it immediately but because as cloud services and new …

I don't understand why anyone is on AT&T unless they have a grandfathered unlimited data plan. The service is still miserable with plenty of black out locations in major metropolitan areas.

No doubt Apple employees are there thinking about "who do we need to be prepared to sue in a few weeks" in addition to checking out the competitors' marketing.

The Apple labs where the iPhone 4 was tested unsheathed were almost certainly climate controlled, humidity controlled and air conditioned. Humidity and sweaty palms were both reasons suggested as exacerbating the issue by users who encountered it. A…

I think Apple may have under estimated how delaying the release of a next generation phone could hurt sales. Is anyone enthusiastic about buying a phone that is now well more than a year old? Probably not. And sometimes you need to replace your phon…

Its kind of sad the level of discourse coming from Cupertino's elected officials. Obviously none of these people are particularly qualified to speak to the architecture or the urban planning surrounding this project. The nearest any of them arri…

Charging for a cloud service probably is a loosing proposition. Apple would expect to charge customers for storing files and streaming them to an i-device. But AT&T and Verizon will also expect to charge users for bandwidth for streaming this co…

If Apple keeps this sort of behavior up, they are going to have an exciting anti-trust suit on their hands. Major corporations with competing products -- Sony, Amazon -- are not going to simply standby and allow their business models undermined by A…

This is the most important music news of 2003.

The CEO should keep telling himself right up until the day he resigns. I have more or less budgeted an early termination fee into purchasing another iPhone. Its too bad ATT gets this and not Apple; at least Apple would make something shiny with the…
