I don't get this reply at all. The Nikon guys generally say they prefer Sony sensors to Canon's. Although not any more today, but for most of my life, Sony was an innovation leader. We had a Sony reel to reel home video system in the 1960s. It was…

Like a lot feminists in this country, Tim Cook is being a bit two-faced. To say it is appropriate to comment on the treatment of people in our country, but not in other countries because they are "sovereign," has to be one of the biggest self delus…

rogifan, they'll go even thinner and lighter. More battery life, no. A useable file system, no. Multiple logins, no. More glaring white, with smaller harder to read text and buttons, yes. If Apple has a problem, and we are talking about the most s…

The new 12" MacBook supports Thunderbolt, just through its USB plug. The light weight and diminutive size of the device will be slightly offset by the mess of adapters required to use the thing in the real world. ARM based processor? Not likely unle…

Great. The same too narrow bezel, and no doubt they'll slim it down and retain the same battery life, which was so impressive four years ago. Oh, and heaven forbid they do something to reduce glare. Apple, for those of us who want something more us…
