peteo said: Whats the over under with Forstall coming back if Cook retires early (Gets canned)? Zero. Cook's not getting canned or retiring early. Apple is still performing very well, 2019 Q1 is still going to be their second highest r…

Scott was set up to fail. "Yeah, we want you to do something to beat Google at Maps, who has much more budget and resources and a 10 year head start, and if you can't do it, you should apologize". Steve would not have apologized, he would have tol…

Had the opportunity to work with split screen, works pretty good. The one "issue" I had was that the two applications were always next to each other, so that would take some getting used it. It's a first world problem, to be sure, but a change in …

I don't think when Apple ran the original ad they were defensive, more cocky, which came back to bite them. Same thing with Rdio. The difference though is that Apple doesn't run non-money making services. Rdio hasn't made any profit yet, so it'll…

For all the fuss people had about skeuomorphic design in Apple products, how do we still get interface designs that looks like they're from the mid-90s? You'd think that if you're putting a big head unit in your car, you want the design to be as cl…

I haven't seen this much excitement about a construction project since those rapid fire photos of a Taco Bell being demolished and replaced with a Krispy Kreme! Wait a minute, Apple HQ2 is the same shape as a sweet, warm Krispy Kreme glazed donut…

You know, I'm not bothered by the decrease in stock price because Apple is in the middle of a $100b stock buy-back. The lower the price, the more stock Apple can take off the market. While a long time coming, take the company private and be done w…

Well. 5 cents a song downloaded to the device. Let's assume the average iPod will hold 10,000 songs (as Napster says). If I filled up my iPod with music, Apple would owe the music companies $500 (10,000 * .05). At $15 per month subscription rate…

I think their online ad for it is pretty spiffy. Just to clarify the article, the 25 non-nude photos are available to anyone to download, but I'm sure you need to be at least 18 to use the site. I'd bet that if Apple loaded these photos…

I agree, I can't see how these domains are holding up the iTunes Music Store for those countries. When Apple is able to open those stores, just direct everyone to iTunes.com, download the software and pick the store you want. Even though countri…

I hope they have more then one Genius Bartender manning that massive thing. I wonder if they'll let me buy some tech support for that cute blonde on the end.
