"Overall, Apple is expected to have a "blowout" quarter due to its strength in all major categories of its business, and is expected to beat Wall Street estimates by a fair margin." This doesn't even make sense. Expected by who? How can apple b…

In theory its not ridiculous. A single super powerful buyer could essentially dictate their terms and control the market. However, the bigger problem is that the flash makers can't have it both ways. Apple has been accused of causing a worldwide …

I'm marginally excited for MMS, but I'd much prefer a more staggered release (as opposed to what apparently happened where a small test group got it early) that didn't crash AT&T's network. I'm going to be travelling on friday and I've already …

I'm betting that they'll offer a non built in 3G model, with WiFi only, but it costs more. Also, I am betting that if Apple gives this to AT&T that apple uses it as leverage to make AT&T offer iPhone tethering sooner rather than later. …

There are a lot of misconceptions about what is going on here. First, I'm 99% certain that the claim is based on the following: 1) Many of the older iTunes gift cards did contain the language "download songs for $.99" 2) Notably this isn't …

I am guessing 256kbps will just be the defualt now. Most people don't know that you can import at pretty much whatever bitrate you want and a whole slew of options. I wonder why they don't use VBR as the standard though. I guess people feel m…

Great game. Some of the early levels are way too easy, but that stops pretty quickly and it becomes engrossing.
