There's a mystique around the poop-brown zunes, too, but "mystique" doesn't mean people will buy them...

This rumor could be true if: 1) Most of the iOS programmers have been shifted over to polishing/finishing Lion. 2) Apple's plan is to get Lion done and shipped, then shift most of their people over to iOS 5. 3) iOS 5 ties into Lion in some manner…

TVs are a low-margin business, like printers and scanners. Apple licenses bonjour and airplay (and such) to others to support wireless printing/scanning/audio/video. If Apple wanted to be in low-margin, mature, markets they'd still be selling prin…

Thunderbolt = 10gb/s using copper. Apple will use Mini-DisplayPort as the interface to differentiate it from... Lightpeak = 100gb/s (theoretical) using optical. USB-looking interface. Apple will roll this out when it's available and you'll be …

I love this debate about whether 7" is too small. Steve Jobs should introduce iPad2 while Rihanna sings, "tell me boy is your tablet big enough"... Steve Jobs turning the market for tablets into an allegory for enzyte = brilliant. Young men wil…

I just hope Apple believes me... my real name *is* Chuckles Blumpkin.

I suppose an apple forum is the wrong place to ask this question, but: - How many of you have rack-mounted servers at your company? - For those of you who do, what OS? We have Exchange servers for email/calendaring, and UNIX servers (I have no …

I'm seeing an "apple news trend" today: - Apple appears to be losing legal decision. - Apple hires new lawyers.

The studio is still carbon, isn't it? So we're talking a cocoa re-write to make it 64bit, and on top of that they want to unify the interface even though many pros don't use all of these apps (and those who do use all, learn them all). Sounds...…

Munster could be right about Apple spending lots of time and money to make a product with rapidly-diminishing profit margins (manufacturing TVs).... ...or Apple could simply make a software product that allows anyone's tv or receiver to pick up v…

Why not just sell the iTV to the cable company? Comcast, Verizon, or whoever already give out junky set-top boxes that they bought from manufacturers; why not give out a quality one from Apple? "For $3more/month on your Comcast bill, the apple s…

iPads! Double Rainbow! ...sorry, couldn't resist.

Maybe the "next" Apple TV is a cable box, and the distribution deals are with cable providers? Instead of junk boxes by scientific atlanta or whatever you would get a small, cool-looking thing made by apple that would work with cable and stream all…

Congrats to Jeff Williams! ...although I'm not sure how much time he has to read these discussion threads....

When apple makes the employees behind these spots fill in timecards, is the project time code, "legal defense fund"? Seen as the company's PR campaign, this seems petty. Seen as the company's PR response to Nokia, etc, this seems petty, but fair…

I used to have a tv with an antenna. When reception was bad I would touch the antenna, and reception got better - by touching the antenna I became part of the antenna and reception improved. Radio antennas? Same thing. But iPhone 4 antennas? …

Every time iFixit does one of these tear downs I'm reminded of that Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme...

Good analysis, but hardly surprising since this is exactly what Apple has been telling us at every quarterly conference call ("itunes store is designed break even or be slightly profitable," blah blah). Gene should credit this report to his sourc…
