These homes must be disposable. Imagine having a house specially-wired with SOTA twenty years ago (10baseT, NTSC-resolution rear-projection built into the walls).... you wouldn't be able to use any of it, today. In 10 years the only thing these scr…

There's nothing like a trip down memory lane with the 2006 apple maps launch to remind me that all complaints about Apple's recent QA decline suffer from recency bias. My big complaint with carplay is turning on the car: on a honda pilot with "wi…

It's funny how Apple could sell a pretty box with a motherboard, no ssd, no ram... just the board in a box that can boot OSX... and pros would *LOVE* it. BYO keyboard, mouse, monitor, memory, storage. They could call it "Minimalism" and have Ive nar…

FINALLY. As a quad-core fanboi I've been watching years of refreshes with zero interest in upgrading. Maybe this will finally make my quad mini obsolete? Or my 6y/o macbook pro? These things are old enough to be in kindergarten and still post multi…

There are two issues: 1) Many of the underlying communication systems rely on dual-use technology, and so regulated under the EAR (US export control list from a non-military wing of the feds). Huawei (and ZTE, and others) contracts with the PLA for…

This is Apple running its MacOS from the A chips and having an intel processor for 3rd party apps. If you think two processors in one system is bonkers, remember the touchbar chip in the new macbook pros, or think back 20 (25?) years to the old mac…

I have a 6 128gb, and here's why I'm waiting one more year (not that you care): - T-Mobile's 700MHz spectrum not supported this year. Probably next year. - Wireless charging supported, but I'll wait for Apple to release their version before jumping…

Sounds interesting. Where is this in the medical device pipeline at the US Food and Drug Administration?

Meh. The lie will annoy the judge; maybe a slap on the wrist and she'll remember it when Samsung files motion to reduce the damages. The ordinary reason to exclude evidence of insurance/surety/indemnification is because [supposedly] the jury will…

After Amelio got tossed from Apple an early culture change was getting rid of the notion that for Apple to win, Microsoft had to lose. It sounds like Microsoft might be discovering the same truth, post-Ballmer.

Apple's not involved in this story. This story is about sub $250 systems, and about Google borrowing a page from the 1990s MS playbook: In 1994 Microsoft used its profitability in other areas (OS) to kill Netscape. In 2014 Google used its profitabi…

So let me get this straight (imagine Christopher Walken saying this): "If I channel.... my communications... through... an intermediary... THEY HAVE MY COMMUNICATIONS?!?!" The shock! The outrage! The stupid people! Rabble rabble rabble!

Airplay and a QAM tuner will get you far in the US television market...

If the presentation is prior art => Fire the patent prosecutors. Surely nobody would argue with that...? Edit: ...and if the lawyers knew about the presentation far enough in advance, sue them for malpractice!

Cue up the tiny violins. Google's search algorithms are trade secrets, but not very patentable. Apple's designs are patentable, but not (solely) trade secrets. Wahh wahh we need more lobbyists in washington.... but don't change the laws about tra…

In 2012 Ivy Bridge will support USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt, and we'll see what happens. In the meantime, the best use for Thunderbolt is as an uber-docking port for the MacBook Air... except that MBA doesn't yet support Thunderbolt. Also, there's no …

Gatorguy: I agree with you, but Apple's probably got two options here... 1) Buy the iWhatever with less flash and sync over wifi (essentially, your mac and your iWhatever will be logged-in/registered with the same appleid and the datacenter will co…
