I think it's great that apple is becoming more vertically integrated. I can definitely see how this fits into possible long-term plans. Flash-based hard drives, online app and music stores minimizing the need for optical drives, I definitely see App…

Every successful corporation goes through certain stages. Apple is in its "Adolescence," finding its way without it's founder. Microsoft is past "bureaucracy" on its way to "death". It's spending so much time trying to hold on to what it alre…

I'm just gonna come out and say it. Apple Retail was a GREAT job! Everyone there loved Apple products and the company treated us really well. I agree that this expectation ? that employees not insult or criticize their employer ? is universal. If…

As other have pointed out, there are plenty of platforms for media owners to use to get their product to consumers. What really irks him is that, because Apple/itunes is the biggest game in town, the studios have to agree to Apple's terms in order t…

I absolutely understand WHY Microsoft would want their own app store. I think the way they're going about it is going to come back and bite them. First, charging developers to rewrite their apps for "Metro" is going to drive SOME developers to c…

that some folks are missing. It's one thing to hack a product that you bought, if the hacked device is only for personal use. It's legally your property. It's quite another to distribute proprietary information or trade secrets to the open mar…

I'm not a statistician, but I can spot bad analysis. It's misleading to say that women prefer the iPhone more than men do because the percentage of women who want an iphone is almost identical to the percentage of men who want an iphone. The only …

So... I like Apple products...a lot. But I've never really understood the value of an Apple display. I like they they seem to be made from better components than other monitors, but it seems like there is a whole helluva lot of stuff that they …

I updated with iOS4 and I've noticed that the device seems to stutter a little bit. It's never done that before. Also, it feels like it's warmer that is has been before. Regardless. I've had my 3G for years. It's never needed to be replaced…

1) Apple does not have a monopoly on the smartphone market. Apple may have the best smart phones and the most popular, but there are plenty of other phones and plenty of other app stores. Adobe's complaint boils down to, "...I want to have a mono…

A couple people have commented on how certain Apple designed components are likely being manufactured by competitors. Not only is this not uncommon AT ALL, it's smart business. If something you invent is really that groundbreaking, a competitor …

I'm an Apple fan, but I wasn't blown away by the iPad Keynote. However, I get what Apple is doing. Apple is building a product family that encompasses a number of categories, but that doesn't overload on SKUs. The iPad is designed to scale. …
