With one of the world's biggest, best, cleanest, and almost always on-time public transport systems, missing out on Tokyo is a BIG FAIL Apple.

I'd buy one in an eye blink if it had blood glucose monitoring.

Hallelujah—I am waiting for the external force trackpad (and the Apple TV4).

Yes, I know the Pegasus2 R8 and it is nicely engineered piece of kit that I have used, but for $4000 extra to get 32 TB of storage, I'd have preferred Apple to design a different form-factor than a bloody cylinder to incorporate that storage interna…

Hmm—A 6 GB RAID 0 will store a few seconds. I guess you mean 6 TB? RAID 0 is not what I'd call up to the redundancy backup standard either, but each to his/her own. One of my current set-ups uses two z-pools on internal 6-Gbps SATA each of 4 x …

I also use Fibre Channel for external storage but it's not the same as having 4 x 4 TB of internal storage.

Quote: No, they completely redesigned a computer to be the most impressive compaction of technology to date just to never ever update it. Or they could completely abandon it (like the Newton or the other small Mac in a perspex box—what was it c…

I stand corrected on TB1/TB2. You know there is going to be an update? Apple has pretty much let the MacPro cylinder languish since release. People who use high-end WS like the MacPro need gobs of storage and the pathetic 1 TB internal storage max.…

And what a letdown it (garbage can Mac Pro) is—hardly anything in way of convenient LARGE external storage solutions, small internal storage, slow Thunderbolt 1, a nightmare to rack-up, and no recent updates. Sales must be almost non-existent—most…

I'd ask for cash refund since ATV4 is only (reputedly) 3 weeks away.

After waiting almost 3 years for this, any rumour now feels like the "Free Beer Tomorrow" sign in a pub. Ship it already Apple even if the TV contracts won't be inked until 2016.

Here in Japan, we have an expression to describe cheap low-quality Chinese electronics that flood the backstreets of Akihabara—chugomi (Chinese rubbish). I hope Apple is not forced by volume requirements to switch to the lowest-cost Chinese parts su…

This fashionista flogging is starting to give me VERY negative perceptions and could backfire on Apple. Pictures of arms dealers getting early releases is starting to gall, especially when the rest of us have to wait months even after placing pre-o…

I'd like to see the keyboard and trackpad from the new MacBook as external accessories too. I'd buy the force trackpad immediately.

Although Apple's iTunes App store says Display Duet supports 5.1.1 on any iPad, the developer's website says iOS 6. I tried to repurpose an old iPad 1,1 running 5.1.1 but the App crashed every time. I got a note after 3 days from the developer tha…

As always with OS updates, your mileage may vary, so to balance "the squeaky wheels" I must say I have had absolutely no Bluetooth, WiFi, or Mail issues with Yosemite, which has been been the least problematic release for me since 10.8. In fact, Blu…

Added to this, there is no facility for inputting actual gas costs so the calculations are using local averages, which are way off if you buy discounted gas. Be aware that there is as yet NO real time data output display so you cannot read engine da…

These new additions are (yet again) not available outside the US. Apple is and wants to be an international company and a large proportion of its cash hoard is held overseas too (meaning it came from international customers) but the Apple TV remain…

Doesn't the fact that you had to research extensively before coming here to be able to get an MVNP SIM for data prove the point at how backwards Japan is in regards to Payn'Go? I'd like to know which MVNPs in Japan are offering both voice and data…

Japan has MNP and the iPhone is very popular here. At the same time, there is real lack of price competition between the three carriers au, Softbank and DoCoMo even now after DoCoMo has joined the iPhone club. This lack of price competition and fl…
