I try and use AppleMaps occasionally, but invariably slip back into using Waze which I find generally slicker, easier to use and more pleasing to the eye. I presume Waze now utilises Google Search and POI, those two are the hammer that Google/Waze h…

Interesting post. "As to whether the patent system should allow patenting software ... that's another issue" Yes, might mountain climbers one day be able to patent a route?

I wonder how the Apple iTunes database works. I presume Apple have one copy of the music file (perhaps several reflecting a few different bit rates?) and then pointers to everyone who has bought the rights to listen to it ('own' it)? If this is the …

"rag" is inappropriate. Actually, I think I have the murmurings of feeling offended. Did you hear me? I feel OFFENDED!!! AppleInsider has no right to write something that someone might find offensive!!! Where is the respect? Have I ever written so…

Given the stature of Apple as a whole, Apple Maps is an embarrassment, particularly relative to Google Maps. That Google had a head start is completely irrelevant to the User searching today. There is a lot that works and is presented accurately, b…

Not sure one can be 'proud' of an inherent trait, something of which one makes no effort to achieve. Can one be 'proud' of, say, brown eyes? One can be pleased with one's eyes, but one doesn't achieve them. Just examining Tim's cumbersome logic …

TC states "Apple should only enter areas where Apple can control the primary technology". > does this mean that Apple Maps is soon to be discontinued?

First, these are photographs of nudes and sex - stuff that is pretty common knowledge, seen and practised freely by consenting adults in most societies. Why the outrage over nudity? They are not pics of people holding up severed heads. Second, wh…

Quote: It makes me furious that Pages doesn't have paragraph numbering... I've just had a quick play with Pages via iCloud and paragraph numbering (via Bullets and Lists) appears to be pretty good. It provides simple numbering as well as the Ha…

'Victims'. To use the word 'victims' in this context is an insult to those who ARE victims. If you're in the middle of a sale, you just can't suddenly leave saying, "sorry it's my break time, can you hang on half an hour, why not play a little sol…

Rumour: Apple Retail to operate in the same fashion it has always done. "If true, the information isn't surprising..." :smokey:

If true, this announcement is what one might call 'THINKing DIFFERENTly'.

Ahrendts' success will depend on those who are hierarchically below her earning a relative pittance. Such grotesque remuneration disparity doesn't exactly foster group feelings of 'all for one, one for all'. I'm not sure I would feel comfortable fac…

It would be interesting to know what office software Apple itself uses routinely. I cannot imagine their accounting and finance departments using anything but Excel.

Interesting piece, particularly juxtaposed to this: http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonchang/2014/04/27/apple-be-afraid-chinas-xiaomi-going-global/

But Apple has hundreds of billions in cash. Of course Apple could sell their products at lower prices. Sure that would mean lower profit margins - which would probably lead to the point where they might have only tens of billions in cash rather than…

These releases of erstwhile confidential communiques would possibly make me, were I an Apple employee, think twice about what I write.
