I suppose the part I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around is simply this -- Apple assembles the computer, but does not actually manufacture the components in question with this litigation. It seems to me that if you have a beef with a paten…

No surprise there. I would imagine that the new UI changes that they were thinking for 10.6 are going to appear in 10.7. Also, since they've tweaked under the hood, I wouldn't be shocked if 10.7 appears on store shelves sooner rather than later, dep…

The misleading part is how friggin' slow the "3G" coverage in the vast majority of Verizon's network is, since anything CDMA is considered "3G"... even if it's the dog-slow 1xRTT. Only the EVDO-ehanced areas compare to the 3G of the iPhone (and from…

These new iMacs are about the best value I've ever seen in a Mac, especially given the displays. This makes me wonder what's in store for the Mac Pro refresh, when it comes.

This county must do something about worthless, over-broad language patents and the parasite companies that buy them up, produce absolutely nothing, but then want millions in "licensing fees". We're setting ourselves up as a has-been nation where nob…

The Palm Pre, so far, isn't looking much like a real threat. The Android platform was supposed to unseat iPhone. Now everyone is saying Droid and Android 2.0 is going to do it, because it has more gizmos. The people making these predictions don't…

Well let's see... does it have the appearance of a blatant copy of the Apple store paradigm? You bet. Did Apple come up with the idea of a botique store for electronics? Nope. Microsoft is like a sports team that won several championships and …

A server model eh? I certainly didn't expect that. But it makes sense for a home media server, or for a small business. Considering that Mac OS X Server by itself is half the cost of the machine, that's really not a bad deal at all. Apple ought t…

This is why software patents must be abolished. They do not drive innovation; they can only stifle it.

I didn't really see much disk space reclaimed -- but then I used Monolingual on Leopard, and I think that probably accounts for why. Not that disk space is really that big of a deal to me -- I have my iTunes library on a 1TB external FireWire 800 dr…

Hmmm, This makes me glad I decided to stick with the last Macromedia Suite (I use FireWorks extensively) and not upgrade to either CS3 or CS4. Sure, I have to run it in Rosetta, but frankly I haven't seen where Adobe has improved things enough to…
