What's a computer? A computer is something you do work on. An iPad is something you consume media and play games on. You could try to dig a trench in your ballet slippers, but workboots make more sense.

Apple has to take some of the blame here. MDM (mobile device management) is a pain in the butt with iPads, and is very easy with Chromebooks. While Tim Cook dismissed chromebooks as "testing machines" he doesn't seem to understand the value of a low…

Doesn't sound like OpenTV is very open if they are patenting the "delivering and storing digital content to electronic devices"

I think there are pictures of the Sasquatch, flying rainbow unicorns (they're real!), and Nixon's plan to end the war in VietNam on that phone.

It's Tim and Jony making "vroom, vroom" noises to convince people AppleCar is still on target.
-
Seems like an odd market for Apple to be in, and one that has generally been left to the aftermarket. If the phone battery doesn't last long enough, maybe the phone should be a bit thicker?
-
Totally agreed. Apple's products used to be nice enough at the high end, but the Chromebook is going to take a major bite out of Apple's revenue stream in K-12 because it gets the job done on a budget. If "test machines" is the best diss Tim Cook ca…

Tim doesn't use a Mac. The post PC era has arrived. I guess that explains why Snow Leopard seems like the last time Apple cared about quality control on the Mac OS.

The funny thing about these D.E.D. articles is that you can easily spot them from the title alone. They always have a "Bad news is actually good news." spin in the fantasy world where all Apple decisions are brilliant and will soon result in Apple's…

I would highly recommend Cringely's "Triumph of the Nerds" as a good summary of the history. It contains interviews with all the major players. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_of_the_Nerds Andy Hertzfeld's "folklore.org" is also very good: h…

Fassbender looks more like Sculley than Jobs. Too bad they couldn't find an actor who more closely resembled such a well know public figure as Jobs.

This is the kind of anti-competitive behavior that I used to hate when Microsoft did it. Why is it ok for Apple to do it? If a product is for sale in the store, one would presume that it is because Apple thought it was a good product that consumer…

Sorry Ken Burns. Your documentary about the Civil War has offensive flags in it. Until you rewrite history, Apple will be banning it from iTunes.

Haters gonna hate ;-) maybe Apple should see if they can get back any of the money they wasted on dr dre and jimmy Iovine. Maybe they should hire Taylor swift to negotiate future deals. She seems to have made apple look pretty foolish today.

It's not about pop culture, and it's not about fooling people, and it's not about convincing people that they want something they don't. We figure out what we want. And I think we're pretty good at having the right discipline to think through whethe…

I wish Apple would figure out that Mac users are power users and don't want features designed for the limitations of iOS ported over. It's like Apple is saying "Hey we developed these awesome training wheels for iOS and we know Mac users are going t…

Oh tallest skil, you could at least try to conceal your ignorance by staying quiet when you are out of your depth.

Sure, and the human body contains about $20 worth of chemicals, but go ahead and try to build one in a lab. A fair bit of R&D (evolution) has gone into us as well, that doesn't show up in the price tag.

400 million is a small business for Apple. I wouldn't mind that kind of sales revenue. The exercise market is still a good reason for a small rugged iPod. Forget the watch.
-
Aren't all the iPods dead? Sure, they may still be selling them, but innovation stalled on the iPod line years ago. Which is too bad, because doing any kind of exercise with a Phablet in one's pocket is lame. I would pay good money for a small light…
