Microsoft has it right: As tablets power up, they're destined to become more powerful, support more interfaces, like IR, radio, USB, optical, memory, etc. They'll move towards PCs. The closer they get, the more they can do, the better I'll like th…

Well, I'm going to wait (art least) another generation. This "upgrade" is pitiful. There have been higher power machines in the PC world for years now. Then again, with the huge screwups in Lion and Mountain Lion - sandbox, certificate…

8 cores? That's.... hopefully just the base configuration. I've had an 8-core machine for years now. I'm looking for 16 (or more) cores, not to mention more, faster RAM -- and drives. And no, virtual cores a'la hyper-threading won't do. I ne…

I offer this alternate view: Read it and see what you think. Then watch what happens with Apple's IOS, OS X, iPad and iPod. --Ben

Your rationalizations as to why don't change the fact that these limits exist and are enforced by Apple, or that additional limits may be coming down the pike. Nor does it change the fact that some of us don't want them, don't need them, and don't a…

o Actual 1080p resolution - 1920x1080 (or greater within 4/3 window) o IR emitter for use as remote for your A/V gear and other IR clients o Twice as much actual memory internally o Models from 32GB (base) to 256 GB o Inductive charging via supp…

Yeah. I'm male, am owned by cats, own an iPad, and will happily kick your posterior at Mechassault and Project Gotham. While laughing merrily through my old-guy beard. (note old-ish games...) My sons - 3 - all have feline head-of-households and o…

Because that still doesn't work with Leopard, a 4-year old, native OS. But it works with XP... a ten-year old, non-native OS. Very disrespectful of their Mac customers. Especially since Snow Leopard broke so many drivers, and Lion loses the…

Snow leopard broke many drivers and apps, so no upgrade Lion dropped PPC support, obsoleting my apps, so no up-upgrqade Not interested in sandboxed apps Not interested in walled garden app store, or giving apple 30% to dumb down apps Not interested …

Because IOS 5 is *severely* broken. Some apps crash (quite a few), other apps won't run at all(HP 48 calc), there are huge lags in operation for others (Field Runners, for instance), the "wifi sync" simply doesn't work under the conditions Apple …

I'm both a photographer and a developer. As a photog, my Mac Pro works VERY hard to process large numbers of DSLR images using Aperture. It could be faster and I wouldn't mind; but as yet, there is no significantly faster Pro model. As a develope…

My Mac pro is used every day, and as far as upgrading goes, it's still quite fast -- a machine like this has a longer upgrade cycle than the integrated desktops Apple sells. I'm sure I'd buy another -- presuming they are available -- in a year or so…

There were -- and are -- areas where Apple has really screwed up. The current IOS 5 release will WIFI sync on XP, a 10 year old non-native OS, but it won't WIFI sync on Leopard, a 4-year old NATIVE Apple OS, not on Intel or on the PPC. This is an ar…

If Amazon does this right -- doesn't limit it to Snow Leopard / Lion, etc., allows incremental/OEM upgrades instead of making us download the entire app+installer again from the store just to fix a bug -- they could do well here. And frankly, as …
