I'm sure that Schmidt is just saying what he'd like to see happen (he can't really be blamed for that). However, if this is based upon some internal estimate by Google then I think they need to find some new analysts.

I sure hope there is more to these patent applications than what was described in this article. If not, then the submission of such trivial optimizations for patent protection is hitting a new low. The first ("Adaptive Audio Feedback System and Meth…

It appears that my 128Kbps protected iTunes songs are NOT being updated to iTunes Plus, at least not when using the current iCloud download method. This seems rather odd and if the same holds true for the iTunes Match service it will mean that every…

Yes, I selected the Download link that you are taken to when you click on the "Purchased [NEW]" button in iTunes and it is needlessly downloading v10.2.2 even though that is the version I am currently using.

Okay, so AppleInsider has removed the term "streaming" from the story title concerning iTunes Match. So, that's maybe another confirmation that this is just a match and download service (i.e. wireless sync) rather than a true iTunes streaming servic…

I don't think they mentioned "streaming." It looks like it is just a wireless sync feature. That's a really big difference as you'll still have to download and store the music on whatever device that you want to use for playback. Actually, other …

It's an IR port so you can use it as the most awesome remote control ever made. Why spend upwards of $100 (or more) for some fancy universal remote with a 3" screen when you could just buy a simple app and use it on the iPad.

Couldn't they just have used an enhanced MicroCell which would have isolated them from complete reliance on WiFi? That could have given them reliable, several megabits per second downloads, fast enough for most of the demos. I guess one of the probl…
