I haven't seen anyone mention this yet: NAND flash has a finite number of read/write cycles, something in the order of 100,000. For storing digital photos, this is entirely adequate, as the memory will unlikely to be refreshed more than once or…

The patent trolls could really go to town on the iPhone: It has a touchscreen, which Quantum claims they invented. It plays MP3, which Alcatel has been awarded $1.6 billion against Microsoft for not being paid license fees (even though no one …

I think NextByte and the various former "AppleCentres" (the right to trade using that name has now been withdrawn because of Apple Australia's foray into retailing) are better than you give them credit for. They often have very enthusiastic, true M…

Valentine's card: Roses are red, nanos are too, I want a 6th gen iPod, and I'm sure you do too. Cut the crap with these minor low-end product updates, Apple. "Ooh, pretty colors, that's how we'll compete with Zune and Sansa" (even though …

It's just an unfortunate fact of life that between 3-5% of all consumer electronics will suffer failure. That's one in twenty. Consider twenty people you know who have a given device. Statistically, one of them will have it fail. If people w…

It's not unprecedented, as all of the MPEG Fraunhofer encoding license fees are taken care of by a QuickTime Pro license, which many (self included) feel should be part of an Mac OS X box purchase. It's not the money I mind, it's the pure inconve…

Actually, I've seen better fakes when a web page graphic fails to redraw when scrolling and gets stuck. Er, Danny, you do know how big 5" is, don't you? If the proportions of your mockup were correct, the thing would be about half the size of a …
