  • Perhaps my opinion is not going to be extremely popular here, but I consider the iPhone browser as crippled without Flash capability. Flash is the de facto standard of the web when it comes to multimedia content, especially for live media viewing. I…
    in Adobe, Apple working together on Flash for iPhone Comment by robonerd February 2009
  • Ugh, I still shudder at the thought of the 20th anniversary Mac. Let's hope Apple learned its lesson five years ago and decides not to revisit this idea. Nothing like having to buy a whole class of customers a swank pro latptop after you drop the pr…

    in mac crash! Comment by robonerd January 2009
  • The question here isn't "can it beat Mac OS", but more the classic "is it just good enough to stem the tide"? The answer with Vista was a resounding NO. Consumers have rejected Vista handily, and businesses even more so. However, based on this b…

  • Quote: Originally Posted by TBaggins Nice, but so much for rumors of $800 or $899 MacBooks. Actually, it's a pretty big anticlimax, as Apple should've been hitting this pricepoint for a long time now. They used to. Wonder if the stock is g…

  • You can cite all these examples of "standards" that WinTel boxes have, but the question boils down to something very simple: what good is it? For the end-user, Apple products are simple, intuitive, and reliable. They sell BECAUSE they aren't load…

  • I don't think Vista is terrible, it's just a step in the wrong direction. It's the typical Microsoft approach to the problem: new lipstick, jewelry, and clothes on the same old pig. The fundamental architecture issues with Windows have been known fo…
    in Microsoft offers first hints at anti-Apple marketing blitz for Vista Comment by robonerd July 2008
  • I have both the wired and wireless aluminum KBs -- the Bluetooth keyboard doesn't have the keypad, home/end/page up/page down/clear/delete-right keys, or F13-F19. Basically it's the keyboard chopped where the eject, delete, return, etc is located, …
    in Apple Keyboard Updates Comment by robonerd July 2008
  • I am only a recent Mac convert. I have used Microsoft's stuff from the DOS 4 / Windows 3.0 days. I was not overly impressed with Windows XP, as it seemed to be a step backwards from the rock-solid Windows 2000 (which is by far still the best OS Micr…

  • Apple is far ahead of the curve with the AppleTV, in my opinion. In the short-term future (10 years max), we will see a massive increase in home bandwidth, which will become the downfall of today's telecommunications companies. Right now, the conten…
