Apple knows perfectly well it can be tough on employees right now. In the middle of a recession, people tend to suck it up or get fired. If they walk out, then they get fired and there will be plenty of other people willing to take the jobs. Short…

To the ISPs and wireless carriers, "Network Neutrality" is considered something devised by Satan to torture them. There are few things that they would hate more than network neutrality.

If you can't find a way to make money, bribe the government with money, drugs, and hookers to get what you want.

Murdoch says that all of their online sites will start charging for access soon. $ 2 per week? hahahah. Pay for an online news site where they copy stories from blogs and present them as their own work? Crappy reporting where they can't get facts st…

5 to 1 that the employee with the iPhone gets a poor performance review next time around and gets fired. I'd hate to work for someone like Ballmer.

simply put something in OSx so that it will not run on any non-Apple hardware. Surely there's something in the hardware that they could check for? Then they could try to hack around that, but then Apple could go after then under DMCA.

Verizon wants to control what you put on their phones. I think one reason they wouldn't do the iPhone was the Apple App Store - they probably wouldn't deal with it. Verizon wants you to pay them for the apps, not some 3rd party. Their apps will pro…

Certainly a company that is running a business has to have information for the IRS? There's no reason why they can't produce that info for Apple. They're obviously hiding something. Any business has to have some accounting records.

The MacBook air deal sounds good, but 'rebates' are notoriously difficult to actually get. I'd buy one, but I don't trust rebates; they are usually all but impossible to get.

So far it seems all these companies want you to buy their own brand of set top box connected to the net so you can pay them to watch movies. I have lost track of how many there are! Do you really want another set top box stacked somewhere? agh.

I'd love an iPhone not on AT&T. Their network sucks. Go to other carriers and I'll buy one.

Even if they were using Blu-Ray capable drives, there's a lot more to do than just 'enable' the blu-ray. Blu-Ray requires HDCP, and OSx doesn't support it yet. If it were to come it would not be until 10.6.

Apple should sue them, but it's unlikely that they will have any luck. This sure lends a new twist to bashing Apple. While they always have obits on file for famous people, they shouldn't be releasing them. Doesn't surprise me that any wire servic…

Fooling around with changing memory on a live system is a good way to cause a crash. I spent 40 years as a software engineer and had to do this from time to time, and it is not a fun thing to do. Unless you really know what you are doing, forget it.

There is an Apple store at Burlington mall, and yesterday there was a good size line outside the store. Strangely, there is an AT&T store at the mall as well, and it was empty! They had 6 people there to sell phones, and everyone was going to th…
