So if I pay Apple for iTunes Match for one year $25, download the iTunes Plus version of the song, and then cancel my service the next year, do I still keep the ability to download those "purchased" songs again in the future even without paying the …

I know some people in some countries are going to hate this. In Thailand, for example, they just introduced the micro-SIM very recently due to the launch of iPhone 4. Now you throw in yet another SIM card standard... let's call it the pico-SIM, I ha…

T-Mobile has no clear upgrade path to LTE and DT seems very unwillingly to pony up the cash, so they can only milk their HSPA+ network for so long. Eventually, someone is going to come in with the cash to do it, or they'll end up getting eaten up by…

I feel for the guy but I'm not so sure he's doing a BAD job. He's made some mistakes, but so have dozens of other CEOs; their replacements haven't always been much better. Microsoft is a monstrosity of a ship and it's slow to change course. Neverthe…

Not surprising. China may be modernizing very rapidly, but the people have yet to catch up. I was sickened by some of the stuff I saw in Shanghai when I was spending time there a year ago. It's a First World infrastructure clashing with a just recen…

Sounds plausible enough to me. On the last earnings call I believe it was Tim Cook who made the comment that the first generation of LTE chipsets would have forced design compromises that Apple was unwilling to make. Very similar to what they said a…

Toys R Us... Hmmm. This is brilliance. Hook the kids when they're young. Granted the iPad may just seem like a toy to kids, but there is no denying the powerful draw of continuing to use things that are familiar if you've been exposed to them at an …

Apple has been working on battery tech for a while now. They were so proud of their achievements that they dedicated a whole segment to discussing battery tech when the first unibody Macs were introduced two years ago. I just don't see how this n…
