Translation: "Microsoft is working on updating its software for iOS5 (the leading mobile OS platform) and Mac OS X, so we can continue to lock people into our Office formats, since Apple's iWork apps are actually quite decent and causing people t…

When Apple was "Apple Computer, Inc." they were more concerned with making powerful Macintosh computers that were used by the publishing, graphic arts, film making, and other creative industries. The higher-end models even echoed some of the high-e…

I had to toggle Siri off/on the first day to get her to work. No big deal. And people seem to be forgetting that Siri is beta software. Lastly, smartphones are computers and rebooting is always a troubleshooting step

Bootcamp is a necessary evil to allow some users to run Windows apps that have no Mac version or compatible equivalent, and won't run well or at all through a virtual machine. I wish Apple would beef up their Windows support and allow Windows to …

You don't see anyone in Science Fiction walking around with a laptop. They use a handheld or shirt-mounted device or access an unseen computer with their voice. When serious work needs to be done, they sit in a dedicated terminal. There is room…

10.7.2 indeed sounds like it will be there to just "enable" iCloud, much like 10.6.6 enabled access to the Mac App Store. My guess is Lion shipped in "July" because it was promised in past announcements and any delay would have looked bad. Any k…

The love for gray themes at Apple is nothing new. They've had a "graphite" theme on Macs since the OS 8.6 days. The explanation given at the time was that the color gray is a neutral gray that allows graphic artists to compose their work without U…

I just don't trust the long-term viability of Flash-based mass storage. For an iPod or iPhone, sure, but for a full-featured computer? No. I need to know I can still write data to the mass storage device in 6+ years. I still have a PowerBook G4 f…

Just another example of old media fearing new media because the advertising and ratings numbers aren't measured the same, and in some cases, can be bypassed by people who know how to jailbreak and edit a hosts file. People want to consume content…

Someone must have rolled a porno distro of Android and sold it on bootleg phones in HK or something.

Wait for the current issues with Thunderbolt MacBooks to be cleared up, certifiably.

I wonder if they're doing this in case it's his last birthday.

I wonder when they will add another app from the MS Office suite into iWork. Word, Excel, and Powerpoint are already there. Outlook isn't needed thanks to Mail and iCal. Perhaps OneNote? or Publisher?

Granted, this is kind of a snarky move by Apple, but when you choose to take an item outside specifications (even if doing so is legal), you have to deal with the consequences of those actions. You can't play in the walled garden, hop the fence, …

I see WebOS being used as a gimmick interface, much like their touchscreen UI they currently implement. It could be good. Especially if it enabled HP to open a "PC App Store", selling WebOS apps in a "Mac App Store" fashion. But it could also…

I never click on ads in apps, be it a regular ad or an iAd. Design a full-screen ad that takes me out of whatever I'm doing in the app? I'll never use your app again or never consider buying the "full"/"pro" version.

People with a legion of Mac Minis and Mac Pros will probably still pick up a Cinema Display. Perhaps even the one-off purchase just to make one's solo machine look nice. But otherwise, it's more cost-effective to buy an LED Full HD TV and conn…
