A striking thing about these kinds of threads is that weird undercurrent that Apple is actually being shitty for withholding their designs. That everything Apple does is right and good and proper and obvious, but that Apple itself is wrong and ba…

And if Samsung insists on rolling out more of these retail outlets, we get to hear about how Apple and Apple defenders are claiming that "Apple invented tables" or "Apple invented glass front stores" or "Apple invented product displays" and how ri…

Yikes.

As has been mentioned in response to those people who are satisfied with their STB interface, that misses the point. "TV" is no longer a matter of tuning in to see what's on, or even time shifting via a DVR. It is an multi-screen, on demand acti…

So one thing I wonder about: the current dock connector provides mechanical stability via width-- fully half that of the iPhone. Even then, I often feel a bit unsure of some dock connections, with a bit of lateral wiggle making it feel like it w…

Yep, I think your image is apropos. Usually when we say "train wreck" we mean something went off the tracks, but what MS has got going really does seem like sending locomotives in opposite directions on the same track with the hope that they'll s…

Just to follow up on Dick's link to the Ars article re Office on RT tablets: This is exactly what I've been suspicious about all along. Apple chose to make a hard and fast distinction between iOS and OS X because the use cases are so differ…

Maybe we could leave the activation numbers debate for another thread and talk about Motorola, Google and what it all portends. I'm struck that this news comes hard on the heels of Google's announcement of a flagship tablet built by Asus. W…

Man, it sure hasn't taken long for the memory of Jobs' legendary love of secrecy to fade...... Time was the comments on an article like this, regarding a manufacturing supplier shooting off his mouth about upcoming Apple products, would have most…

Apple ought to buy every employee a new car every year. They certainly can afford it. I mean, really, they make a shit-ton of money, why not new cars? Hell, the convenience store I used to work for used to fly everyone down to Rio twice a year …

You know, if you're going to dismiss other posters as "old farts resistant to change" you should probably try not to come off as a wheezing old shill handing out marketing slogans like a greasy carney barker. Quote: Originally Posted by …

I doubt the retina MacBook Pro will achieve runaway success in its current iteration. It's a beautiful machine, no doubt, but at over $2k entry level it's not a mainstream machine by any stretch of the imagination. I think it will follow th…

It's hard to imagine Samsung giving up on their Apple aping ways though-- in that it seems to have worked out pretty well for them so far. I mean, the Apple thing goes way beyond some handsets and tablets copying Apple's look and feel. It's clea…
