I predict Amazon will sell a ton of Fires, and Apple will sell a ton of iPads, and the world will continue to turn. My problem with the typical iPad competitor is that it's less functionality (exactly how much is debatable) for roughly the same p…

I agree with dtoxin, if Apple really believes that iCloud is the future and wants to push the issue, I can see them cutting the Classic and saying that iCloud makes it unnecessary. I never understood the Shuffle, it's slick and solid, but functio…

You've got a million iPhones that you DIDN'T subsidize, that are running the worst possible data speed (and thus putting minimal strain on your network), while you're collecting the same monthly fees that you otherwise would. Seriously, what are …

I don't think Apple has ever set prices based on demand. Or the presence of cheap, inferior alternatives.

You'd think Apple would give each store employee an iPhone and an iPad, with a clause that if they quit within a year then they either have to return it or pay for it pro-rated. First-hand experience is far better than sales bullet points from a po…

Could this story possibly be any more questionably sourced and technically improbable?

Another random thought regarding Intuit's ineptness... if Intuit is not interested in "feature parity" between platforms, then why have two vastly different products share the same name and roughly the same price points? Shouldn't this be calle…

What were the 50 new features? It's sad when Intuit is touting the ability to search and view really basic data as a big deal. Isn't that the point of your program in the first place?

Maybe it's just me, but if you look at the graphic and say that Mac had the first icons, but Windows 1.0 had the first color icons, and follow the chart from there, it looks like the Mac icons copy Win icons. The icons that are arbitrarily called "…

Finder has historically been one of the most complained about Mac apps, and the "increasingly minimalistic" ground-up rewrite for Lion was utterly underwhelming. I guess "radically departing" from Lion may not be a completely bad thing. I even b…

Right, because the markets are clearly and rationally valuing Euro zone banks right now...
