Looks like the A6 in the iPhone is a 1 GHz custom dual-core ARM CPU. GPU is still unknown (Anandtech thinks the likeliest thing is PowerVR SGX543MP3). ARM microarchitecture is unknown. 1 GB of RAM in the POP. From Sunsipider and Geekbench be…

I'm keeping my NeXTSTEP 3 boxes forever. It's too bad Apple has been pragmatic about the OS X UI. It could use some freshening up but with user drag such as it is, it'll never happen.

Man, the prediction business is hard! Something is afoot.

Trying something different here: Fit comfortably in my front pants pocket. Have premium feel, touch, and look. Stays cool to the touch. Be able to survive 4 ft drops on concrete and prevent scratches and discoloring from typical usage. Be abl…

It's just your typical sensationalist reporting. AI chooses to fan the flames by using the linkbait headline that CR is using. The 116 is the peak temperature at the A5X location on the back of the iPad. There'll be a temperature gradient from th…

Better power consumption is number 1 on my list.
