I bet Scott Forstall was blindsided by this move. Why would he think he was a target when he's done so much for Apple for so long? I hope he goes to work for a company making apps for Android. Maybe he could go to Amazon and make the Kindle's into…

All of my computers have needed a repair at one point. Parts wear out on machines that are kept more than five years. I upgrade when things break or when software must be updated with a machine that can handle it. Which means I don't upgrade often…

As far as many US companies making more sales overseas than in the USA, it doesn't matter. Apple uses many factories around the world. They could make a factory in the USA to handle North America and perhaps South America. They could continue to u…

Will we need to wait until next year to know which version of this story is true? Come on Apple, make things in the USA with your $100 Billion in cash.

Build your own stuff Apple. Actually make something instead of just designing things. What could Apple do with one-hundred-billion dollars? It could create all of the factories it needed in the USA and control them with total secrecy. How much has…

I hate to say this but I'll be buying a copy of Windows 8 to run on my Linux computer in a virtual machine. I hate Microsoft. I'll be using it for work purposes AND for Netflix. I won't keep anything not related to work on it. Those photos, movies, …

It would be wonderful if the USA were having a technology boom big enough to help the economy in a big way, but it's not. Software and warehouses are the driving forces behind this growth. Facebook houses engineers to work on software. Apple makes…

If I can store issues as well as access the archives while my subscription is current, then the all digital magazine is a good idea, especially if I can access it from multiple digital devices. It has been years since I purchased a magazine …

Let me be clearer. By 2014 the tablets will be powerful enough to equal Mac Books and iMacs. There will be no loss of power. The improved iPads or tablets running OS X variants will be able to connect to remote keyboards and sit on stands for thos…

How much better must the iPad get in order for them to justify dumping the Mac Mini? Does that even matter? I use my Mac Book with an external screen most of the time. Perhaps Apple will just eliminate the Mini and suggest people buy the low…

I think the Mini is better than the iMac because of the choices it gives to the user. That is the only reason, because we can't get a high spec Mini ,,,yet. Since 2007 I've kept up with computer hardware. That started because I wanted a new…

Don't believe that those destroyed PCs are in a better place. They could have been saved with Linux. All PCs are welcome to convert to Linux. We accept them with open arms. These days the word rapper should raise red flags regarding lyrics. …

How soon can an iPad replace my desktop computer that edits basic movies, creates and edits presentations, and plays streaming music while doing everything? I would like to save plenty of electricity in my daily computing activities. My desktop us…

The article doesn't say what operating system it is using. Maybe this version is faster than the last version. I like the SD card feature. That makes the Nook HD more appealing than some tablets without it. I'll wait for some video reviews. …

It is big sales numbers like these that really make me think Apple will dump the Mac Mini. These phones are getting powerful with computing. They cost much more than the basic Mac Mini. The Mini doesn't sell very many units by comparison. Why does…

The iPod Touch seems a bit expensive compared to the other devices out there. Perhaps they're counting on Siri and the faster chip to make up for the high price. It's only a matter of time for another tablet maker to have a much higher capacity me…
