Steve Jobs was not always the nicest man, or the most humble, but he achieved great things, was an excellent presenter, slave driver, thinker and visionary. No doubt he wanted to pass that on. It's not easy to shape the way one thinks, especially …

I'm pretty sure Softbank has been the only carrier in the world to continuously offer free iPhones with 2 year contracts. They've done well. I see iPhone 4 devices everywhere I go. I'm not surprised that the exclusivity will come to an end, but I…

This is really as pathetic as the Psystar thing. I wonder if Samsung realizes this can have a negative effect on their image. And they bite the hand that feeds them...unless they already knew Apple was leaving them for other components companies.

These guys know iPhone inside and out. How can you not want them on your team. That's dedication and skill and I'm sure it's much more to do with creating a stronger, safer user experience than just "battling jail breaking".

Uneducated comment, but I think there is a difference between protecting your designs and innovations and throwing old patents around or as this article talks about, patents for general, old standard technologies. Quite frankly though, I say it c…

OS X and iOS have technology to spread work among the cores. 4 cores mean 4 instructions executing simultaneously. Operating systems are complex beasts, especially the mobile variants. They have a baseband running the cellular networking, they …

Apple has processor designers. Apple is a investor and licensor of PowerVR Graphics technologies They merge it all into iPad 1/2 which is hitting at least Playstation 2 graphics. But ridiculously good battery life. But doesn't have a keyboard. …

I remember when iPod sales were all analysts talked about. Now the decline of iPod sales means nothing.

I only sync bookmarks, contacts, and calendars. Seems those will all be in iCloud

As always, I'll chime in. Softbank in Japan has always been offering the lower of the two available capacities of iPhone for free with a two year contract. There is no need for Apple to be doing this for the carrier unless Softbank is eating major…

1) Lame that as usual everyone copies Apple's design 2) More lame that Intel, the sole laptop/desktop provider of Apple is promoting it (Shouldn't they like a shift away from Windows machines that may have AMD chips?) Absolutely agreed that peo…

Skype has become garbage. Most people I know wont upgrade past 2.8 on the Mac although screen sharing in 2.8 doesn't work in Lion, sad. Skype on iPhone? Please. As a developer, it makes me sick to fully understand that long, laggy, slow-loading …
