Yes, but unlikely to amount to anything. It has been out for a couple of hours, I think. Apple periodically does maintenance work in off-hours (meaning late night Pacific Time zone). When they add new product, they typically do so during a shutdown…

If you block ads for security reasons, your position is unassailable. And yes, you should block ads. http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-20000898-245.html http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-20040367-245.html You should also banish Flash or at least s…

Yeah, but even if you knock off 10-25% off the $129.79 that Verizon/AT&T charges, you're still nowhere near that $72.67 of Straight Talk. Broken record: people need to do their own analyses for their household's cellular usage needs and …

For Boost Mobile to beat Straight Talk and Cricket Wireless for total cost of ownership over 24 months, they would have to price the handset under $544.

I don't think most people are seriously willing to give up their sole household computer for a tablet right now. However, it is clear that many people consider the iPad a viable replacement for a second, third, or fourth computer. My h…

Yes, it does but doing the baseline analysis is the simplest. 1. I'm using the Apple Store retail price since it's a comparable storefront to carrier stores or Apple selling carrier-subsidized phones. It wouldn't be fair to use the Dodgy Bro…

To be fair, we should be comparing similar service levels, i.e., unlimited talk, unlimited text, and 2-3GB of cellular data since that's what Straight Talk and Cricket offer. Thus, Sprint would be $199 subsidized handset, $36 activation fee,…

Allow it? The chairman encourages it. http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-02-07/carlos-slim-shows-users-how-to-switch-iphones-away-from-at-t.html Basically, Straight Talk iPhone users are using AT&T cellular towers at a 44% disco…
