I had been hoping that the Feb 2012 MBP would include an Ivy Bridge processor, but that seems unlikely based upon the news of the last few days. It seems that Intel are quoting Q2 2012 as the expected delivery date.\ I know that they occasional…

This is yet more proof that surveys are completely worthless. This fails in the most basic of all questions, that of the iPhone 4S return rate. I suspect that it is small, but the survey completely overlooks people who returned the device because…

wizard69, I was not saying that Apple was out of date with the A4/A5 chips and so on, but that is a far cry from "the bleeding edge" where things can be expected to not work right frequently. That simply is not the Apple way. The user experience …

It would be a huge mistake not to bring Snow Leopard into the cloud. It would be a good idea to Leopard into the cloud as there are a great many PPC Macs still out there (and will be for quite some time to come) which are EOL at Leopard. Simpl…

Apple supposedly have tied up a lot of the existing NCM machine capacity used to manufacture their aluminum enclosures. One of the questions all along has been why they have not used a precision molding process which, according to some sources can b…

Whatever the shape of the thing I just hope it is thicker so that it will have more battery space. The anorexic look gets in the way of functionality.

Though I am disappointed that there is not a Core i7 offering in the non-server model, I suppose the Core i5 with a discreet graphics card will do well enough. It would have been very nice indeed to have a Core i7 2.5 GHz quad core and discreet grap…

@Tallest Skil It could be. I do not know enough about the TB controller chip to say whether is is only capable of a single channel or not which would involve an additional, not inconsequential, cost on a model that is supposed to be an entry …

When the first iPad was released, there was a report that, in Spain at least, some providers were simply giving the user a second SIM card and however they allocated their data allocation between devices was up to them. It is incredibly simple...and…
