Quote: Most egregiously however, Google itself has jumped in with an attempt to propagate the notion that iOS 6 Maps will get you "iLost," something that doesn't really seem appropriate given that it was just a few years ago that CNET edit…

There is another adapter on sale in the UK Apple Store. A Lightning to micro USB adapter, currently showing availibility of 3 days:

It's definitely gone too far. To the point I now quite often click on the address book icon when I want the calendar app because it's the same fawn colour as calendar's new UI. It's unnecessary frippery. Snow leopard was visually the prettiest OS…

Is this because T-Mo uses an odd UMTS frequency? (1700mhz for the most part rather than 2100mhz). You can use an iPhone, but you'll mostly be stuck with EDGE...

It gives me no pleasure to be proved right but I thought this guy was an idiot when they said (when they hired him) that he was CEO at Dixons. Dixons, for those of you not from the UK, is a national electronics chain where spotty teenagers …

Quote: The company notes that "because of the approach, anyone who attempts to swipe the finger of a dead person in order to access important physical or logical data would fail." I'm intrigued. How dead is too dead. I bet if th…

The Guardian posted a follow-up story. Looks like a bug in Location Services. The work-around is to turn off the automatic time zone setting. Go to: Settings -> Location Services -> scroll to bottom to "System Services" -> Setting Time…

Tried updating last night (UK time). Connection to Apple timed out! Tried again this morning. Much, much faster now that most of you have gone to bed. So thanks.

Quote: It remains to be seen how quickly AT&T will be able to leverage its new T-Mobile towers to improve its coverage, how long the combined company will continue to operate T-Mobile's non-standard 3G UMTS frequencies, or whether AT&T will…

And I thought I was having a busy week - those guys have barely got the roofing membrane on by the looks of things, and it's opening on Saturday?!? Architecturally it looks a bit like the country cousin of the Regent's Street store in London. I'…

Totally ridiculous. By the same reasoning, iIf I go to Waterstones (The Barnes and Noble of the UK) and leaf through a few paperbacks, does Waterstones have to pay a royalty to the publisher? This is lunacy!

Reads like a wish-list to me too. However I can see Apple TV with a PVR being a massive hit. It's the main reason I'm holding off getting one. Now, since were tossing random ideas around, can I ask for it to have a built in Freeview decoder for…
