If anyone knows a sham when they see it, it's Monster!

One way to read this is that it's a clear indication that Retina screens won't be coming to the 11" or 13" MacBook Airs any time this year. Also that the 11" and 13" models are sure to still be available once the rumored 12" Retina MacBook Air comes…

It is somewhat provincial to call these "bespoke" models when Apple has essentially done the same thing before to accommodate technical requirements that are mainly common to only a single U.S. carrier like Verizon or Sprint. It's even more so when…

>All current iOS products now sport the newer Lightning protocol. Incorrect. The iPhone 4S is still on sale worldwide, and the iPhone 4 is still available in select markets, and they both use the 30-pin dock connector.

That 32" Sharp display has a resolution of 3840x2160, which gives 138 PPI. That would means sitting at a distance of 25" to not be able to discern individual pixels ("Retina" in Apple's terms). Those 5,120-by-2,880 wallpapers would be at 218 PPI i…

Back in the day when I carried my Newton MP 2000 around everywhere I got a number of autographs on it from authors and musicians. Some of the ones I got were from Bruce Sterling, Rudy Rucker, Larry Niven, Anne McCaffrey, and Adam Ant!

I doubt Apple's ever going to actually implement this. For one, from the drawings it looks actually a little bit thicker than a standard USB port, not thinner. For another, it'd make you lose the use of one USB port while an SD card is in use. Fin…

Do we have to go through the same thing again as we went through with the rumors on the price of the iPad Mini, before it was announced? You'd think everyone would have figured out by now that Apple doesn't do "cheap." Instead they just do "…

What I really want to know is: How will this improve graphics performance on the 13" Retina MacBook Pro? The 15" Retina MacBook Pro will surely still come with a discrete GPU. The MacBook Airs, per the article "will not offer Iris-clas…

What was that again about Apple always denying something is worth doing, right before they do it themselves?

Apple didn't bother adding the Clock app to the iPad until now because Siri in iOS 6 for the 3rd gen iPad needs it in order to set alarms and timers. Otherwise it would still be MIA. Weather and Calculator are still "third party opportunitie…

Note the PA (Packet Access, i.e. 3G/4G data and voice) bands shown in the diagram: Band 2 is 1900 Mhz PCS used in the U.S. by AT&T Band 5 is 850 Mhz used in the U.S. by AT&T Band 1 is 2100 Mhz IMT used in Europe & elsewhere Band …

Apple adding a TV tuner and/or DVR functionality to Apple TV has as much chance as them adding a built-in radio tuner (analog, digital, satellite, or otherwise) to iPods. It's simply not going to happen. The same goes for adding a DVD or BluRay driv…
