@JoshA: Unfortunately, some people have no choice, because their company uses Outlook and they get suckered into the cloud-based Office suite. I have never liked Outlook, including when I was still a die-hard IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad fan pre-2010. …

in Microsoft pulls Office 2011 SP2 AutoUpdate for Mac Comment by crunch April 2012

Good idea for AT&T to at least get some good PR out of having to unlock all of their iPhones.

in AT&T reportedly unlocking iPhones for deployed military personnel Comment by crunch April 2012

If Apple can innovate in the area of alternative energy, today's iOS-based revenues will pale in comparison, as we find ourselves past peak oil and near depletion. Hey, they already have a great company name. Apple. It's good for you, it's biodegrad…

in New aerial images of Apple's planned NC fuel cell, solar farms emerge Comment by crunch April 2012

I love how this is implemented and use it all the time. Just like when you take pictures and wait for a moment to see them appear on the iPad's Photos app (see also iCloud commercial), this works the same way. You type the note on the iPhone, it app…

I'm jealous.

in Apple executives net $150M selling vested stock units granted in 2008 Comment by crunch March 2012

It's so funny that nobody talks about SATA III, which, in my opinion, is one of the biggest deals of Sandy Bridge. I did see one person mention it here I think but the difference is HUGE and not even Apple has mentioned it for their own reasons, of …

Microsoft's war with Apple ? LOL...That's been over with and for those who didn't know, I just google'd the winner (nope, didn't use Bing...haha)...Well, when Apple's market cap hurdled past Microsoft at warp speed, I wonder if MS ever asked itself …

in Microsoft rumored to stop funding employee purchases of Apple's iPads, Macs Comment by crunch March 2012

I've never understood why anyone would buy a 3G or 4G iPad and be restricted to the same usage limits that a smartphone goes through in any given time period. If you're on the Internet so much that WiFi and tethering to your smartphone isn't enough,…

in Combination of iPad 4G LTE & data caps characterized as a 'speed trap' Comment by crunch March 2012

Apple should just hire Americans to fly overseas and come back with their luggage stuffed full of cash and bring the money "back" that way. Customs checks are so infrequent and superficial, it would create tons of jobs to send those folks back and f…

Got my Apple TV a day early and my new iPad today. This is in densely populated Los Angeles.

in Mountain of iPad pre-orders cause shipment delays Comment by crunch March 2012

Ivy Bridge is supposed to support USB 3.0 at the chipset level, so Apple would have to somehow disable them and really, that would be rather stupid. Even if they do, I guess we'll have to get a jailbreak for the new MacBook's. With USB 3.0, any spee…

in Apple's thinner 15-inch MacBook Pro rumored to debut in April with Ivy Bridge i5, i7 CPUs Comment by crunch March 2012

IPS displays with high-res and high pixel density "Retina" displays on a 15" MacBook Air please! Even better: A "Retina"-like/type iMac and/or Cinema/Thunderbolt display. I'd buy all of the above on day one!

I never thought I'd read "...and PC makers are also struggling with the MacBook Air's low price tag of only $999."
