I started a thread about this here over a year ago. http://forums.appleinsider.com/t/135228/iphone-nano-wristwatch The discussion back then mostly centered on what features Apple would be willing to cut, but now that time is moving on …

Seriously? I don't think it's out of the question to think that in 10 years Apple will be in the business of making cars. Yes, cars. At the very least, I expect them to be making operating systems for cars, specifically self-driving AIs. I k…

I game regularly with my iPad 2 on my 52" HDTV via HDMI and I love it. The only thing lacking is developer support. Have you played Pinball HD over HDMI? Wow. 1080p 60fps, smooth and beautiful. The iPad 2 is capable of a lot and all it takes it f…

Moore's law is more an economic law than physical or computational. It's about computational power at a given price. It may be that typical consumer-level computers are not getting better as quickly, but we're not spending as much on computers as we…

No, and the reason is because the iPad 2 is really good. This was the iPad everyone was waiting for. The original iPad was "wait and see" but this one definitely is not. You can tell just by picking it up. It has a standard, settled feel to it, ref…

I think it's a fine idea. Appeals to my sense of space. Like a portal gun. It'd have to be really light, durable, and cheap, though. Something you can toss around. Something for students.

No, but the problem isn't just the FInder. It's in any program that needs to open a file. I just hit command-O in Movist and waited a full five seconds just for the window to pop open. I wasn't even going to open something on an external drive eithe…

Quick technical question about these dual drives: If you get the BTO option with both the 256GB SSD and the 7200rpm drive with the SSD as the startup disk, can't the 7200rpm drive still produce an overall slowdown than with just the SSD alone? …

AirPort Express was actually given an immaterial update shortly after WWDC. It's possible that they run cooler now but so far no one has reported a noticeable difference, except that they are indeed new models with new part numbers.

Last summer I was able to buy the new 2.4 Ghz aluminum Mac Mini off eBay modified with an internal 250GB SSD and 8GB of RAM for about $1,000. It was used some but it's a clean killer machine and I use it for everything. Even though I've never onc…

They'll be lucky to break a million. No more than 2 million.

Completely useless and redundant for me. I have a computer. I once had an iPod Touch and sold it to get an iPhone. I see no reason to buy this whatsoever. I wouldn't buy it at any price. If you gave it to me for free it'd just sit around and I'd nev…

Oh well in that case I'm going to love it.
