I have always hated the California thing ever since the first time I saw it on the packaging and every single time since. I always wondered if Apple was thinking that for some odd reason the name California was somehow historically linked to the con…

A biopic has a mandate to be as authentic as possible and not just based on someone's imagination. Think of all the fabricated nonsense in Oliver Stone's JFK. The Buddy Holly story completely blew of Norman Petty (who discovered Holley, produced his…

Sinking ship? $4.2 billion in Q4 (ending in October, i.e. before the holiday bump). Sinking with money, I think. I think it is a wee but past your bedtime, Governor Tarkin.

Things just aren't as much fun these days. It used to be like a Christmas tree that had a few presents under it for a few weeks that you figured were socks, shirts and who-knows what, then on Christmas morning you would discover a huge pile of myste…

For years I made a practice of buying bargain priced first run pre-viewed DVDs at Blockbuster. Still do, but so many BB locations have closed. Target used to have a nice selection of new DVDs at reasonable prices, but they have recently dropped the …

Apple does it again. They take something with a tremendous potential, design it from a one dimensional point of view, and force feed you their idea of common sense. With iBooks Author you are forced to use templates that you cannot override and t…

There are a lot of good things about this app but I am surprised that it does not provide the ability to rearrange pages. If you are creating the book with this app rather than importing it, this is a fundamental problem.

Learned my lesson re SIM cards. The iPhone 4 uses a smaller sim than my old phone. When I upgraded, the geek yanked my old sim and, for no good reason, folded it in half and tossed it. If you are ever in this position and want to turn an old iPhone …

I had three of them and each one worked fine until it didn't. I would get a blinking light and no matter how many times I reset it, and did everything else under the sun, I could never revive one. After the third one I gave up on the product. - corp…

A big problem with the whiz kids at Apple and elsewhere is that someone comes up with a great idea but forgets to test it in the real world. Example - the second finger is lower than the first finger (it has been for a million years or so), which me…

How about getting rid of the sidebar that shows up in every Finder window? Hiding absolutely everything with the button at the top right is not a solution and many of us need to work with multiple open windows. How many copies of the sidebar does a …

I would imagine that Jobs is not pleased. This is a key Apple executive who is responsible for making sure that iApps do not violate Apple's high standards. From the description and screen shots, this app is crude, vulgar, and reflects a serious lac…

Ellen had an episode on her sitcom about getting into shape. She took a NordicTrack with the friction mechanism completely disengaged so that the device was like being on ice and did a Lucille Ball number, making the device look like an absolute pie…
