They had to make it free. MacOS segmentation was just killing us in IT. Now to find out what's compatible and what's not...

Ouch.

Those of you in the past few news items who have claimed it was IT's fault need to learn a bit. Apple currently lets any MDM be deleted despite the passcode setting. Apple does not give ability to prevent OS updates. Student updates OS, device …

And I will add that if the MDM profile is removed, the admins will get an email notice as mentioned above but it basically means the device will no longer show up on the tracking provided by the MDM software. That means iPads go missing and start sh…

My main gripe with Apple TV is the lack of inclusion of Amazon Instant, and quite frankly I wonder if it's a monopolistic practice on Apple's part to refuse to add it...but then again, maybe it's Amazon to blame. Either way, I need Amazon In…

I found it interesting that they had to go with Pearson for eBook distribution and publishing. Apple's iBooks has turned out to be a bit of a failure in K-12. The DRM is simply too strict...a book's DRM is limited to 10 devices, requiring se…

A smart watch would have to be something really special for me to use it. I've had a solar Citizen EcoDrive watch for about 10 years and it is the best piece of technology I've ever owned...it has never needed anything except a new wrist band. The …

I think the majority of people jailbreaking do it to be able to unlock their phone to use with other carriers, and to run software purchased or downloaded from the Cydia store that Apple won't offer (for example, tethering). It's dangerous to assum…

What's interesting about this whole fiasco is just how Draconian their approach to DRM was, to the point that they not only lost any potential new customers but a lot of existing customers as well.

I've often wondered why Blizzard hasn't ported the original Diablo, Starcraft, and Warcraft I/II series to iOS. Seems like they would be perfect for it and would net them some tidy profit.

The DRM restrictions on iBooks (10 device limit) are totally screwing over education customers who can't have an Apple ID for every elementary-middle-high school kid.

I thought WebOS was beautiful. It's a shame that Hp didn't know what to do with it.

I'd personally be happy with: 1. Some sort of calibration ability that a user can perform 2. A keyboard that doesn't constantly swap the placement of the underscore "_" key
