Anybody have any idea when AC+ will be available here in Canada?

Why is everybody so down on Intuit. They are a small company, and the one Mac guy they have has to split his time between QuickBooks and Quicken. Sure, they do have several thousand people working on the Windows versions of these products, as well…

Um, GoogleTV and Motorola set-top boxes are so fundamentally different, it's not even funny. M-boxes are typically sold/rented by Cable companies to subscribers, to view/record cable subscriptions. GoogleTV devices are (or were?) sold directly t…

What sucks is Bell Canada forces iPhone users to sign up for their 'Bundle 20' thing for an additional $20/month to get visual voicemail, while BlackBerry users can get it for only $5/month [which is ridiculously high, since you separately have to p…

Does this finally let you use a bluetooth headset for calls? I don't understand what's the holdup with the regular Skype app. It'll ring on my headset, but I have to fish out the iPhone and hold it to my ear to actually take the call.

It appears Apple Canada continues to buy product at retail prices from Apple US, then marks them up 5-15% for sale to us suckers here... I think the App Store/iTunes Store doesn't have this obnoxious markup, but I don't know for sure as I am fort…

Back then, MacOS X 10.0 leapfrogged the competition [Win98]. It may have been incomplete, and not particularly stable, but it laid the foundation of things to come. It wasn't just an attempt to get something out there to try to join the party ever…

Our goal is to produce a number 2 product.

Gah, I was just reading on another site that Microsoft is actually coming up with "a third-generation activation system would speed up getting a device ready to use". Only Microsoft would spend so much effort trying to protect something so few wi…

I think Microsoft is intentionally trying to confuse us by using the word "optimized". The layperson thinks it means that Microsoft will have the best touch interface of anyone. For Microsoft, it just means that it works the best they can figu…

It'll probably wind up being called "Windows 8 Live with Bing" and ship in 2014...

This makes no difference to actual end-users. Limiting what changes the manufacturer and/or carrier can make to Android may make the UI experience more consistent, but it won't affect what I think is most important, namely the software upgrade path…
