Wow - this site has devolved into an echo chamber. I can't recall seeing a more insecure group of flamers in the almost-three decades that I've been using Apple products. Have fun pouncing on even the slightest non-Apple advocacy that someone might…

What's missing from this report is which carriers the companies are available on. The largest carrier in China uses a proprietary radio technology which Apple does not (yet) support, whereas Samsung might. There is talk that the next generation of Q…

Sure thing, Verizon, I'll back up my files on your network. And then discover that I can't retrieve them when needed because it will exceed your bandwidth caps…

The new machines look nice, but they are sort of a 1.0 revision of this form factor. Also, for my use, the lack of an optical drive and Firewire are a big minus. The day they were announced I instead bought a refurb 2011 27" iMac with 256GB SSD (sa…

See the right-hand date in the "iWork" graphic, under the "W"? That was when the latest version of iWork was introduced. In January. We're coming up on this thing being four years old on the Mac, and yet that isn't mentioned anywhere. What the…
