If you only pay us a little more, we'll gladly take you the rest of the way across the lake. No wonder the FCC is getting all radical regulatory on us, corporate bad boys like AT&T are making it necessary. The Telcos act as though they own th…

It looks like Apple is just itching for a fight, which is stupid, since they are clearly on the wrong side of the law. That aside, they should consider the practical public relations issue of a youthful vibrant Obama Justice Department out to save t…

According to the monthly hardware data report published by Valve's Steam covering roughly a million PC users, even among members of the gaming community, most of whom have 512MB or more of VRAM and a better GPU than most Mac users and, the majority …

...including spending between $17 to $18 billion on upgrades scheduled for this year on top of the $38 billion invested over the past two years.I wonder how much of this "investment" is delayed because it is AT&T is hoping to fund it out of stim…

Are people buying into this hooey? The Obama administration is all talk and no walk. Nothing of substance is changing, except insofar as to make things worse. I've been saying for over a year now that the only people who would be happy in the end wi…

The Adobe/Macromedia merger should never have been allowed to happen. Under any other administration it likely wouldn't have been tolerated, since it effectively gave Adobe the sufficiently large portion of the market so as to allow them to behave a…

Do people own or rent their iPhones? Which is it? If it is the former, by what right does Apple have to enforce any use of the phone after it is sold? If it is the latter, then all their contracts are based on misrepresentation of the contract. Ever…

This is reprehensible, truly despicable that they would still try to smear the guy even after they had driven him to suicide; even after admitting liability by paying off his family (no matter how pathetic the pay-off was). However, least we America…

So the truth starts to appear, just proving the axiom: All corporations lie, right up to the point that it benefits them to tell the truth. Why? Because corporate charters make no one morally responsible for those lies, since a corporation is a f…

Steve Jobs is obsessed with privacy and security; has been his whole life. It's an obsession that has put Apple at an advantage and also in high legal and public relations exposure. How convenient that Apple was able to move production offshore to a…

As for the question of why would anyone need ZFS on a laptop -- since they only have a single disk -- one might ask a better question... Why, at this point in the game, are laptop still operating with only a single disk? Laptops are mobile and ther…

Sometimes, Apple drops an advertised feature when it is discovered that it simply isn't ready for mainstream users yet, as was the case with Time Machine backups to AirPort.And if you believe that one, I've got a bridge to sell you. It's in Alaska, …

First Apple lies to us about TimeMachine being compatible with Airport Extreme Air Disks in anticipation of Leopards release. Copies of the marketing literature can still be found floating around on the Internet. The reason for the flip? Apparently …

The refusal of these analyst to openly address either Job's health or his value as a percent of Apple's stock evaluation makes any investment in Apple a risk. No single individual since Edison has been so closely aligned with his company's identity,…
