I've used Macs since the mid-1980s and have never owned WinPCs. Over the years I noticed that not many non-Whites used Apple products -- I would imagine that there were many reasons for this. Also, a lot of Apple recruitment is done through head-h…

The problem is that most American males see themselves as macho -- gun-toting Rambo wannabees. Haven't they noticed that a lot of gay men tend to buff up their bodies in daily gym visits, and many of them could probably take on the role of Rambo. …

From Mountrath Community School to Apple's Irish HQ at Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Cork, Ireland is 165km or a two hour journey by car, at a total fuel cost of €25. I wonder if the school governors and IT staff bothered to visit Apple -- I've hea…

Apple would need to expand hugely if it wants/needs to capture more of the market -- as it is, Apple's contractors can't supply enough inventory to satisfy demand. Apple would probably need to start up its own factories and then we'll have people co…

I've got fairly large hands and like the size of my iPhone 4S and my nephew's iPhone 5. I have Chinese friends and most have small hands, and they don't handle the large-screen Samsungs very well so how will they manage a 6"-screened iPhone?

This is like a conspiracy to curtail Apple's rise to the top: Quote: The DOJ settlement would also go beyond e-books, prohibiting Apple from entering agreements with suppliers of "music, movies, television shows or other content that…

The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of Android users will not even read about this, and they'll go about life blissfully unaware of an exploit on their device. Most of this vast majority won't even bother to update their phones to rem…

The thing that bothers me is that some idiot is going to produce a camp stove type stand for the new Mac Pro.

I loved some of Finder features in OS9 which disappeared in OSX. Option+double click on a folder closed one window and opened a new one -- you can do this in OSX but the new listing opens in the same window, and retains the size of the paren…

I think Apple answered a lot of critics, both with the relaxed presentation and the tech stuff. Unfortunately, the pundits have now started looking for the tiniest little things to criticise -- even only they'd look for their own brain, they'd fin…

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this article. Apple designs and builds its own hardware to match its software (or is it the other way around?) Human nature being what it is, is reluctant to embrace change and learn new things -- revolutionary sof…

Amazon's deal with the publishers meant that Amazon got 70% of each sale and the publisher a mere 30% -- I can't see this model being used for print editions. Apple comes along and says: "We'll keep 30% and you the publishers and authors tak…

My wider extended family all use WhatsApp (on iOS) and they keep asking if I am on WhatsApp, so I paid for it, installed it, deleted it. Battery hog.

Actually, Apple's naming of the iPhone does make some sense, given that people are signing up to 18/24 month contracts -- you buy either the iPhone(n) or iPhone(n)S, skip the next gen and go for the one after when your contract is up for renewal. …

First Facebook, and now Blackberry are touted as iPad competitors. The iPad has no competitors as it stands in a market of its own (full size or mini, might even include the iPod Touch) -- the rest of the overcrowded tablet/phablet market competes…
