This shouldn't be news at all. Apple should be doing everything it possibly can to reach out to the publishing industry in the first year or two of the iPad. Whether Time and Apple should desk share, have a contact person or just work on better n…

[QUOTE=Prof. Peabody;1683710]My feelings are both too long to discuss here, (and probably too vitriolic as well). There's a lot involved, and some of the arguments hinge on issues that are themselves hot-button topics like whether a corporation is …

"making WiFi standard at a time when most carriers forbid phone makers from including non-mobile data access" This point shows just how far we've come. Only a few years ago looking for free Wi-Fi in the city involved taking out some Windows/Mac …

This has been obvious on the streets for a while. Like other commenters have said there is Apple stuff everywhere. In places like cafe's there's always a good number of macbooks around (looks like much more than a 10% share) and when you look at p…

iOS devices automatically collect information on nearby cell towers and Wi-Fi access points along with GPS locations, batching and encrypting the data before sending it on to Apple. Apple, if correct, that makes you 10 times more evil than Goog…

This kind of provocation is healthy. What must also be fixed is the endless patents that are issued on a range of general/common knowledge ideas and concepts that often appear to already be in the public domain in full or in part and are sought to …

I'm glad to see Firefox planning to start handling passwords properly. Having to use 1password as a separate app (which probably just piggybacks off keychain) is a waste of money. It's also unreliable in that it doesn't lock itself properly and…
