The problem is the content. "It's the content, stupid." USA Today's content is horribly biased with poor quality reporting. I wouldn't read if it were printed on gold plates, let alone the iPad. This is their problem. A pig in lipstick is still a…

My prediction is that this is a hardware problem, and that: 1) Apple will roll a new hardware revision that fixes this problem. 2) Those who bought the first batch will get free replacements. I expect this to take several weeks.

Apple's first store in an authoritarian regime. Congratulations! Perhaps they will open a flagship store in Pyongyang or Rangoon next.

That number is rather meaningless, since it does not include research and development costs. I hope no one takes it seriously.

This is rather silly, since it does not include Research and Development costs, advertising, overhead, etc. How much were the iPhone engineers paid? How much did it cost to keep the electricity flowing while they worked? What about health benef…
