I want a MacBook Pro lite edition too. Metal is so much cooler than plastic. In both temperature and sheer sexiness. Although I currently have a black MacBook, I'd trade it in a heartbeat for a MacBook Pro of similar or smaller size. My laptop…

The more I think about it, the more I like: iPod communicator It harkens back to original Star Trek device, which even looks a bit like an iPod: Communicator from Star Trek, The Original Series and the name iPod communicator has these …

1. Dead pixels are much rarer these days. In the past year, I've bought a 23" cinema display, a 15" MacBook Pro, and a 13" black MacBook. Not a single dead pixels on any of them. You don't see it as an issue on blogs and forums as often as you u…

So, the logical connection is that those product categories aren't the ones being promoted at the moment? That is, about to be replaced? (Though often Apple likes to run its inventories out by a last-ditch campaign.) I agree with your predictio…

Rejected my valid Photoshop CS2 serial. Disappointing for a customer whose upgrade payments stretch all the way back to v2.5 (~1993).

The Zune is a steaming pile of manure but they'll still sell a decent number outside the retail channel because of the anti-Apple sentiment in the IT industry mentioned by someone above. There are a lot of pro-Microsoft people who wish Apple had …

Apple was an ass for taking a jab at Windows over their own screwup. They've pretty much ensured every tech media outlet will take a very unsympathetic view and slam them every which way. With the result that the infection may only have affect…

It's the lack of attention to detail that gets me about Microsoft products. I have a Windows Mobile 5.0 based phone and while it seems nice on the surface, once you actually start using it, it's like someone hitting your thumb with a hammer when …

Does anyone else feel Apple doesn't actually "deserve" 18M iPod sales this quarter? Okay, hold the tar and feathers, I'll explain. They've had a full year since the last iPod generation, and all they've done it bump the drive to 80GB and add a…

How is it Wal-mart has so much power, just because it sells things? Say the rumors that it was sending Disney DVDs back are true. Now, there are millions of parents who still want to buy Disney DVDs, so they'll just go to another store that actu…

So no 6G iPod, aka "touch screen iPod" at this time? Disappointed.

I thought he looked a bit tired, but then apparently the rehearsals for a keynote go on for days, and the huge undertaking of a WWDC takes its toll. Lose even a few hours per sleep for a for nights and anyone can look worse for wear. I think the…

Even though it's a huge design challenge (both form factor and UI), and risky venture for a company with no cellphone experience, I think it's inevitable that the iPod will gain phone functionality. What I would like to know though is why the "Th…

Can someone explain the big attraction of swappable chips, and what timeframe it would be useful for? At this point, 3.0GHz Xeon (Woodcrest) chips cost just shy of $1000... EACH. Replacing the 2.66 chips from a standard config Mac Pro to gai…

I don't think any of these are the "top secret" features that Jobs alluded to at all. He's not going to say, "there are some things we're keeping close to our vest so our friends up North don't start their copiers just yet" and then the same day …

I wonder how many MacBooks they'd sell if they didn't moo, scratch, turn orange, or melt from heat?! Well, that's what they're all reported to do. I shouldn't troll though, because as a proud owner of a souped up black MacBook - I added a 7200…
