First person to say "Dumb Pipes" wins

Wow look at all the fools believing Apple will scrap rounded corners. Discussion on the second half of the article, the less odd suggestion that ios7 will look like the WWDC app would be very welcome. So, what do we have here. No shine on buttons …

On names - More often than not, Apple will pick the top rumoured name and go with it. It's a marketing trick. Just type "ip" into google autosuggest and the top iPhone result... iPhone 6. It's unlikely they'll use 5S, it's been shown they don't care…

On topic: with the 5's widescreen format and the guarantee that apps will support it with ios7, an upscale to a ~5inch screen could keep a reasonable width, and with decreased top & bottom bezels a redesign in this direction would be very apple.…

Ah... Americans. The Sri Lankan dude made several great points, and his ability to write in English in no way hindered his eloquence in my book. Although anecdotal, this is the main reason Apple need a low-cost iPhone. American Students? American…

Why can't OEMs push updates directly to Android? Why are the carriers involved at all? If we look at the comparable (ish) iOS versions to those main 3 Android versions we get Gingerbread (2010) [iOS4], ICS (2011) [iOS5] & Jelly Bean (2012) [iOS…

They could make an iPod+Cellular, but they'd have to make several design decisions; these can be posed as a series of questions: 1) Do they add the hardware most seem to ignore as well, ie. mic, top speaker, proximity sensor, does it even have a fl…

It does seem like the second time around, he realised that in order to continue to make the best products In the world, Apple had to be profitable to fund it! Personally, I'm all for that. They always earn every penny of their asking price; their s…

His anticompetitive rant belies his and Schmidt's true beliefs: open up your privacy and be content with the resulting crap; after all, it's free! Their YouTube app is horrible and the non-standard player is a step backwards from Apple's [B]2007[/B]…

Multiple references to Paul because he doesn't look like Paul: conspiracy theorists go!

We will have the last laugh as Apple insulates us from Google's Iron Fisting, whilst droids just feed the giant lying maw that is "open" and "free". Idealists believing blindly in a company with no ethics. Laughable. Google apologists are so stran…

So the injunction was granted because a) the product was found to infringe, and b) the infringing product may have decreased Apple's sales The verdict was overturned because the infringement itself (a) did not necessarily produce a product that was…
