Schiller shouldn't believe everything he reads. This memo betrayed his insecurity.

Besides, When you're earning 10 bucks an hour, driving down wages is understandably fretful. But when you're earning 75 bucks an hour, it doesn't quite have the same weight of outrage.

It wasn't conspiring to keep wages down. If top Safari engineers went to some company making fishing rods where they earned more money I don't believe Jobs would have raged. It's top engineers taking trade secrets to a competitor who wants to underm…

I went into the Apple Store and test drove the 5c and 5s on all the apps I use. I saw no appreciable difference in performance. The 5c felt better in my hand. I liked the way the default background matched the case - It looked very stylish. So I bou…

Wow, Samsung is aggressive! Is this a reflection of the routine 16-hour daily studying regime to which South Korean kids are subject I wonder?

The UK's NHS is treated as sacrosanct by many. Having said that there are plenty of reports revealing shortcomings and there are constant reviews and periodic lurches in policy towards more effective delivery. Private healthcare is viewed by many…

You know how we made it so light?.... Mega pixels... we got 'em down to 8 Hahaha, I like it! Clever. Come on, give credit where it's due. In itself it is a great parody, I reckon. However, as the article suggests at the end, given that Micros…

ElFig2012, welcome to the Big Boys table at Appleinsider! If you haven't raised the ire of some of the Old-Timers here (relax, I refer to # of posts rather than age!) then you have probably not said anything interesting. Consider the verbal barrage …

Yes, looking at the vast majority of comments on various Media outlets here in the UK, at the level of prices Apple want for the 5c, there is no real point in them - if they were made to aggressively attract those in the more price-sensitive market.…

"Inside the optional case is a microfiber cloth lining to protect the shiny finish from scratches" > Yes, and it also prevents a person from actually *seeing* the shiny finish. Why would Apple spend so much effort making cases that cover their s…

From discussions with friends/colleagues who have Android S4s or HTCs, the number one reason for purchase was screen size. And the camera picture quality is extremely good too. I don't think, by and large, that they care about the particular operati…

I wonder why Virgin don't sell the iPhone in the UK?

Perhaps Apple should release some FUD regarding a wearable foot item notionally called the 'iFoot'? And then step back and see whether Samsung puts their foot in it too? They might come out with one targeted at Runners and call it the Samsung…

90,000? NINETY THOUSAND? Those numbers stagger me. Do they have factories with capacity to fit an extra 90,000 people, say 30,000 with shift work? Just like that? I can't fathom how an EXTRA 90,000 people are needed to produce the…
