"%u2026 the FCC determined that U.S. broadband deployment is not keeping pace with the rest of the world." But how can that be? Everyone knows the free market is God and that unregulated corporations must therefore inevitably achieve perfection. …

"Cook's ascension was the first transfer of power in Apple history to not involve the ousting of the former CEO." Forgive me, but if death isn't "ousting," I don't know what is.

Given the disappointing sales of Apple products, it's obvious they've no choice but to release cheap products for the masses. From Mac to iThingies, how can they fail to have learned that you can't succeed without undercutting the competition's pri…

The great blunt drab irony of all this shopping-opportunity journalism is that these McShoppes could be absolutely anywhere on earth, as could their crowds. One could argue that The Temples of the Fruit are relatively tasteful, functional, and even…

"a full-featured journal that enables users to jot down quick notes about their day-to-day lives" And share it all, no doubt. Narcissist 2.0 - now with extra added self involvement! The unshakeable conviction that others do or should care what yo…

Ah, MS Office%u2026 I simply can't wait to attach a manure spreader to my Ferrari. Quick, somebody gag me before I convulse and shriek like a 12-year-old girl at a boy band concert. It's time for Apple to release a grown-up version of iWork, and …

"first of its kind" Will someone please explain what could possible be original about another corporate CEO interview? We're primates%u2026 We worship wealth and the power it represents, and long to suck up to people we imagine are somehow superi…

Shall we shiver with anticipation of this new, radically sleekified iTunes, or stock up on virtual Immodium in preparation for gagging down yet another seething, bloated, cybernetic mess? There's just no telling with Apple anymore, but it's hard to…

The disturbing thing about Microsoft's suicidal tendencies is that once their rusting oil tanker finally drifts to a halt and sinks, Apple, having won, will inevitably _become_ Microsoft.
-
As usual, good news for stockholders is bad news for everyone else. Every time Apple triumphs over Microsoft, they come that much closer to _being_ Microsoft. All winners are alike: smug, greedy, and destructive. Any successful corporation with …

Outages I can forgive. The poorly-conceived, bug-infested, incoherent mess which is OS X Messages? Not so much.
-
Does this mean that Messages under Mountain Lion will magically become something other than a poorly-conceived, incoherent, difficult-to-configure, confusing, bug-riddled mess? Or is it just that we're supposed to pretend that removing "beta" from …

That would certainly be welcome. When most phones vibrate, it sounds like someone is trying to give an elephant an orgasm.
-
Now if they'd just do something about the godawful, bug-infested mess that is Messages for OS X. It makes the Apple iOS Maps app seem a thing of sublime beauty, accuracy, and competence by comparison.

It's been quite some time since randomly swallowing and regurgitating others' vomit came to be accepted as "journalism." Now ("according to a report published Thursday by hit-or-miss industry publication DigiTimes") we're reaching new heights in un…

The Apple Supplier Code of Conduct is a great opportunity for an in-depth, thought-provoking editorial about Apple, corporatism, government, and the responsibilities of consumers. I'd love to read it. Journalism consists of reporting the informati…

I can't wait! Another opportunity to fail to fix the dozens of bugs every new release since Snow Leopard has inflicted upon the Finder, all in exchange for more Facebook access, which I need about as much as I need the voice of Howard Stern bone-in…

It's time for this sort of consumer erotica to come out of the closet, and openly embrace the slavering adjectives which shame-facedly lurk just below the surface. Seriously%u2026 Given the complete ethical bankruptcy which accepts this sort of th…

It's lovely to see that there are still governments that aren't quite as easily purchased as that corporate subsidiary Americans call "Congress."
-
Like its politicians, American corporations believe that what matters is to speak first and loudest. The truth of what's said is considered as an afterthought, if at all. After all, 144 pt lies run on the front page; 6 pt retractions on page 43. …
