Two comments to my post: Why are smart cards better? Good question, but casual fraud seems to be very limited in Europe who use smart cards and DOD has found them to enhance identity assurance. Certainly not a panacea, but a huge step forward for…

Given the changes in market, e.g., US finally getting smart chips in credit cards and the associated infrastructure changes will have to play a big role in how this rolls out. The International dimension of smartphone payments, the rapid (albeit rec…

Eddy Cue is very media savy. Therefore, I suspect there is a lot more to this than currently reported.

While I think it's OK to be more clear, I can't help feeling lazy negligent parents should not expect Apple to do their baby sitting on children behavior. If the kid gets Mom or Dads credit card and does stuff on line who is at fault?

Investors analysts have been the least useful community for sustaining a successful company. The Apple P/E represents the utter lack of sense and especially long term thinking for Apple.

Number of iOS users 500 Million who are high value targets vs vast number of low value targets, users, says the number of users is a weak decision component to malware developers. It's the enormous security weaknesses in Android and the near total …

Great argument against merger is Comcast continuing fight to neuter tech for viewers will that much more effective with merger.

Similar arguments were made for glass in iPod and iPhone early era, but processes improved, driven in large part by Apple. Since Gorilla Glass is no longer a differentiator, it is commodity and as such less attractive to premium brands like the iPho…

Hmmm, I wonder, I had the same problem with my wife's iPhone 5. I had both docked in the Apple iPhone 5 or 5S Dock and they both require restore??? Could the dock connected to AC power be the cause???

Watch out do backups before update. I know this should be duh of course, but I have been spoiled. No past problems and a "small" update, well, guess what it hosed my iPhone and I had to do a clean restore. Caution Caution.

In other words without Apple to copy the market is weak and poor sort of like ultra books, tablets, and smart phones were. But Apple has an innovation problem or rather industry has an innovation problem without Apple to copy.

Go back to design basics, code for "we need to copy Apple better". Whenever we get too different our sales suffer. Hhmmm.

As commented earlier, the issue of fragmentation and long term support will be a challenge for Android. It is hard to imagine how the manufacturers will be able to maintain the OS given Google orphaning devices 12-18 months old when new OS releases …

VP8's IP issues remain a concern and the only reason not in court is the little adoption that would either be a MPEG-LA funding source or draw funding away. Google's cavalier attitude towards non-Google IP is notorious and I suspect will eventually …

I agree, bring your own device is not a panacea over typical life of a car. In your model the car gets shipped with a set of features, Android version x, and remains with this set for the next 5-15 years with the car manufacturer perhaps only oblig…

I can see where Auto manufacturers would find Android OS integrated into their car as a way to garner control over the services, albeit, Google Android is notoriously not open when the apps compete with Google e.g., music, maps, search, etc. thereb…

This assumes that China Mobile is delayed until January. It will be interested to see how Apple meets demand for 5C and 5S.

Take this a grain of salt, as soon as you start playing with P/E the enormous market irrationality makes the scores very suspect. Aside from the fact that Apple's P/E is 1/2 of standard routine fortune 500 companies [its almost treated a junk stock…

I am a bit confused, the agreement was to executer FRAND [Fair, Reasonable, and Non-Discriminatory] terms of Standards Essential Patents, SEPs. However, I do not see "%u2026 involve technologies that helps to pair Internet search terms with adverti…

While not a fan of "stockholder value" as a significant measure for planning [this has been shown to be a formula for long term failure of a company, aka Clay Christensen], there is some logic aka Buffet, that when the stock is so undervalued, it ma…
