Spring 1968, Idea for Song: A mid-tempo rock ballad in which the singer, back by a spare piano arrangement, urges a young man to make it better. The arrangement gets more complex as other instruments are gradually added. Finally, in an extended repe…

!0% of the US market would put Apple ahead of Honda and only slightly behind Chrysler in terms of market share. Apple would have to produce high volume, low profit margin products in order to reach numbers like this. There is nothing in Apple's DNA …

@Rob53 ""upwards of 60" means close to 60. Literary license. :-)" That is not correct. "Upwards of" means more than or in excess of. Check it out: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/upwards of The headline should read "Upwards of 50 millio…

Not one analyst seem to say 60 million iPhones. Where does the number in the headline come from?

Forstall may have a lot of faults but the Maps debacle is entirely related to the company's famous secrecy policy. In the Bay area, the maps are amazing but the program lacks sufficient data to meet the needs of a world-wide customer base. How har…

Finally. My old towers are getting very, very tired. Now, where did I put that big pile of cash?

This should surprise no one. The Fire was never anything other than a cynical device aimed at tricking customers into buying a glorified Amazon kiosk. The fact is that the tablet is not so much of a market segment as the iPad is a fantastic, sing…

If this is true, it shows that Apple has recognized that a commitment to pro users, like myself, is an important part of it's brand identity. A different kind of halo. Especially so when you consider the rumored by out of Redmatica. I do hope t…

Why don't they start by giving us an on-off light switch app so that we don't have to go through so many menus to turn bluetooth on and off. Conservation is the best energy saver.

Good purchase. I don't know if I'd call Redmatica a start-up, since I've been using it's products for years. As a Logic Pro user, this makes me feel good about Apple's commitment to it's professional music software. I wonder if Andrea, who ran …
