Why give the cloners and shameless imitators a helping hand by revealing the breakdown of watch sales in their various categories and price points? Cloners are gonna clone anyway, so keep 'em guessing and doing their traditional wasteful, loss-indu…

This is the "Thermonuclear Option" personified - deep, linked, indexed and natural language search without user tracking: monetising Google's very own cash cow, intelligent search while offering privacy as a free, precious extra bonus. One can alm…

Thinly-disguised attempts to manipulate AAPL stock price in the build-up to the Apple Watch launch, that's what all these equine and bovine faecal missiles circling the overhead rotary ventilator are about.

Wow, just wow! Even though I was expecting this (followed the trip live on Instagram), this was a brilliant compilation of photos, videos, facts and history hinting at the vastness of Cathay. Must visit in my lifetime, simply must, and soon...

I strongly suspect that this acquisition will form part of a stronger (i.e. Pro quality) music creation capability for iOS (iPad Air 2 and the rumoured iPad Pro) - will we see Logic for iOS? VST importation capability for high-end iPads would be a …

I've always said that Apple's IP litigation strategy, far from being ill-advised and fruitless, was strategically aimed at an ultimate outcome which is now manifesting itself slowly. Precedents set by successive judgements that were achieved by App…

The actual "bait and switch" was accomplished by the GTA (!) leadership who, having no previous expertise in Sapphire boule production, entered into agreement with Apple with the apparently sole intention of offloading their company shares at a prof…

It wouldn't surprise me if, in their desperation to beat off better-performing rivals and win Apple's order, GTAT themselves offered up those incredibly stiff conditions. Always looking to minimise cost and maximise margins, Apple predictably jumpe…

The carriers worldwide are quite wary of this Apple SIM. A few years ago when Apple first floated the concept, the European carriers unanimously threatened to to end their subsidy agreement with Apple, and the fruity one retreated, if only to retur…

Dashboard is still there in Yosemite, and allows you to see many separate widgets in one page, one glance, rather than having to scroll around a small column or section of a page. System Preferences can be tweaked (click on "Mission Control") to se…
