Are you suggesting Apple's Maps are equal to Google's in Tokyo? Seriously? y2an is dead on. The difference is huge, and all in Google's favor. No exit information for stations. Otemachi station probably has over 50 exits scattered over blocks. Not…

The history of Siri in the article is woefully short and there is a lot more to Siri than voice recognition. That's just one way to get data into it. Siri came out of the five year CALO project. Probably the biggest AI project ever done involvin…

I don't understand where all the hostility is coming from. It's very simple. If you have an app that accepts purchases from outside the App store (like Kindle, books from Amazon's website) there also must be a way to purchase them from inside the ap…

You know they can do both. Make a trial available on their website and have it available for download on the app store. They just can't place the trial there.

Windows only and no transfers to iOS devices? Doesn't matter how good the prices are at least I won't be getting it. I'm still happy with the rentals. I don't watch shows multiple times so it's a pretty good deal for me.

Dan, I agree with the other posters. This isn't news. You click on a media file and plays in quicktime. So what? I don't think this says anything about Apple moving in the direction of a cloud based service. (I'm not saying they aren't, but thi…

How about Satisfied and Very Satisfied numbers put together? I'm a very happy iPhone user, but it seems like you are manipulating the numbers to show what you want people to see.

This isn't a few feature, they just made it more accessible. They are called kaomoji in Japanese or face characters. When you'd type it in Japanese かおもじ the same list would appear. You can still do that now too. There have been a few hidden …
