Longing to read an article on the prophesied TV that doesn't mention Siri somewhere.

Darn. I'll would've preferred a 7th gen touch model, but will almost certainly get a 1st gen as I sent it off within a few hours of the recall announcement. Due any day now. Seems like tardiness would have been a virtue!

Raise to Speak has occasionally not worked for me also. However, knowing how it's meant to work should help. Previously, I'd assumed it was using the accelerometer. So, to ensure it worked, I'd exaggerated the motion. Now, I'll instead try k…

iCloud is irrelevant to this discussion. 64GB doesn't merely allow more music, it allows more apps and games, which are getting increasingly large in size. I hit my 32GB's capacity with apps and video podcasts far earlier than I ever would wit…

With the Amazon tablet and now this, Google can't be too happy about losing control of the OS it's done all the development work on (even if they did steal large chunks of, er, inspiration for it). My bet is they redefine "open" a bit and close A…

In other news, unicorns can no longer be found in the wild, having been hunted to extinction for their ultra-white monopole horns. Apple, evil on so many levels. Expect lawsuits from fictitious-animal rights activists everywhere.

No mention of the 4 finger gestures that were being trialled in the developer builds. I wonder if this means they're out for the GM, or simply not being promoted? I'll be sad if they are gone, as I've got very used to "full hand pinching" the sc…

On the subject of replacing the optical drive with an additional internal hard drive: Does anyone know if the existing OptiBay design will fit unmodified in this generation and would the new antenna placement have any impact on installing it? …

I kinda like Andy Ihnatko's solution: 1. Display what you want on the iPad screen. 2. Place iPad on Xerox machine. 3. Press the photocopy button. Done!

Who is pre-ordering versus reserving for pickup? For pre-orders (where it is freighted to your door) is it going to be delivered on Saturday, April 3, or the following Monday?

No bickering; the $500 I spent on a Intel X25-M G2 160GB for my Mac Pro is by far the best performance-increase-for-buck purchase I've ever made. When people spend a few hundred $ to simply upgrade their CPU option from 2.5 to 2.66, the ORDERS OF…

The language of the ad surprises me: The sharp break between the happy, shiny world of the iDon't, with its bright, singsong music, then the dystopian techno grunge of the Droid, makes me think the Terminator is about to arrive. Seriously, giv…

Any sign of iPhone firmware 3.1.1? Pretty sure I'm not the only one afraid to update from 3.0 because of the widespread reports of problems.
