Fights on the floor? This sounds like the movie Roadhouse. The only things it's missing is Swayze to cool things down.

My sense is that there is a fine, and then a requirement for an ongoing license (I think I read that Apple is requesting $20 a phone). So, I think that's the potential consequence.

I find it incredible that Apple can't keep up with demand for a $3,000-$4,000 laptop. Either they prefer to see a moderate shipping delay for marketing purposes, or a lot of people are buying these things.

It would be helpful if you would list the claims from the patent. Drawings don't tell you what the patent is really trying to protect.

I would be shocked if this doesn't get sherlocked by Apple. The phenomenon of people using Second screens while watching TV seems like the sort of thing that Apple would capitalize with their Apple TV SDK, once released.

Unless I'm mistaken, aren't Intel's chips significantly more expensive than using ARM's license and adding modifications like Apple does? Whether or not it can achieve the same performance profile seems a bit beside the point, unless it can do so a…

The iPad's sales have been limited by production, not competition. So, to base your analysis on the lack of competition seems to miss the point.

Apple released updates to iWork for the iPhone and iPad last week...probably because it couldn't fit in the keynote. Most of us guess that they'll release a new phone in the fall, at which time they're going to want to announce more than just addi…

I'm not sure what to make of a report like this. My monthly subscription fee costs me around $1K a year, or $2K over the lifetime of the plan. The phone is $600, or $200 subsidized. So, given that the majority of the cost of owning a smartphone…

The best part of this analysis is when the analyst mentions that this has nothing to do with how Apple is doing in the marketplace. Just a circumspect insight on one of their suppliers.

I wonder when Sony and Amazon will allow iTunes / iBooks purchases on their e-readers.

The interesting question is whether mi-fi users, who are clearly using the network for heavy data usage, will be throttled. Or will it just be smartphone users that use too much data. I would mad if I was a mi-fi user, but maybe less so as a sma…

This should probably be titled "Apple now the highest-revenue phone vendor on earth," or something like that. Because Nokia is a larger company and sells more phones, in terms of # of units. Apple just happens to make a lot more per phone. I'm t…

Verizon should do what took AT&T almost 4 years to do...put a lot of wi-fi hotspots in big cities. I know Verizon's network has different chacteristics than AT&T, but AT&T's dumbest mistake was to just sit back and blame the antenna pro…

How about Apple take the current iPad, drop the price $100, and only make two version of the new iPad (memory size not 3G / WiFi)? That way they can have a product that is in between and does what a lot of users (especially corporate users) need th…

This release will be twice as Golden as the previous release, and 4 times as magical.

I find the viewpoint that the online sale of music inadvertently torpedoed CD sales to laughable. What torpedoed CD sales was that physical copies of music offer no benefit to downloaded versions. They're more expensive, stores have incomplete …

Instead of waiting for the hardware fix, I figured I needed a case anyway, so I upgraded and am waiting for a nice bumper. I imagine others are thinking the same thing.
-
That's my guess on how they're positioning it as only costing $30 a month, but maybe the $130 additional cost somehow covers that.

I always find this type of discussion to be ironic. While I understand accounting rules can change reported profits, this doesn't change their business. It doesn't change the number of iphones they're selling. So, if the stock is supposed to repr…
