Infrastructure is irrelevant if the basic services aren't up to snuff. iCloud email, for example, still doesn't support user-owned domains and commits the greatest sin of anti-spam, silently discarding certain "spam" emails. If it weren't for calend…

I'd rather wait for Skylake and skip Broadwell. Hopefully it appears on time.

Quote: There are some major differences between. One, an iPhone costs a lot less than a Jetta and the user still has to pony up the price of the device for the Test Drive. Two, this test is about the T-Mobile network not the iPhone. I would argue …

This gives a bunch of Android users the opportunity to try out the iPhone and see if they like it enough to switch. A great marketing plan by Apple.

Quote: Why would you want a fiber cable as standard? My understanding is that the benefit to fiber is longer distance - i.e., you could have a massive RAID array in a secure closet or perhaps industrial controllers/instrumentation in an isolat…

"Any publisher who is getting $10 for a paperback book is actually doing really well" I guess every publisher is doing really well now, since standard paperback books are going for $8.99-9.99. Check Amazon if you like, since they don't disco…

Personally, I would wait until Apple refreshes the Thunderbolt display with USB 3.0.

I'm not sure what value it is to compare Intel vs ARM floating point performance. 1000x more flops? So what, few applications use floating point. Integer benchmarks are more interesting. Another advantage to ARM is die size. You don't need 1.3 bi…
