rob53 said: I keep seeing people complaining about the single core speed because “most apps only use a single core” so is there any way Apple could come up with a 4-5Ghz CPU? How much does it cost Apple to add more cores? Could they add a s…

Sherlocking is a problem. Sign in with Apple is not an example of sherlocking. It is a response to popular sign-in services simply lacking any decent level of privacy protection, and seeing both a market need and an issue for their user base that th…

GeorgeBMac said: Since the Surface Pro can function as a switch hitter -- either as a tablet or a laptop, then shouldn't the cost comparison been against the total cost of both the iPad Pro + the MacBook? $1,600 vs $2,950? But, hopefully Ap…

Quote: I am also frustrated by Apple's stubborn refusal for the last decade to ship a machine without a monitor that is positioned somewhere between the underpowered Apple Mini and the ridiculously expensive (and frankly overpowered) Mac Pr…

That's a lot of criticism in the comments for an article saying that the device is awesome, but that it just isn't practical for even slightly power-oriented users, at least not yet, which seems very true. The frustrating thing for people like the…

Apple should, however, add better external external keyboard/pointer support into iOS. And improve multi-tasking. Getting something roughly akin to Metro-type multi-tasking and application launching, plus support for an external trackpad, should b…

I never understood why TV makers thought people would actively go out and buy a TV that had these kinds of capabilities, particularly given that set-top boxes, Apple TVs, PS3s and even your computer already give you all these services, and generally…

I'll bite. So few lines shows that Google was policing the inclusion of stolen code quite aggressively. With the number of developers involved, and the ease of finding code on the internet, providing any of those developers a bit of time saving, fin…

A lot of Chinese and Japanese consumers draw characters on their screens rather than typing. That kind of interaction is just easier with larger touch screens. It is also true that reading the more complex Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters is…

Plenty of manipulation gestures have appeared in sci-fi movies over the last twenty years. A prior published work trumps a patent. True, most gestures in movies are with three dimensional projected images, but a gesture is a gesture. That doesn't me…

As for references, they are the only feature I care about that I haven't been able to get working in Pages. There are some paragraph styles that I need which can't be created from scratch in Pages, but oddly enough, if I copy in a paragraph of those…

I use pages and keynote to create most of my papers and presentations. They just feel like they were actually thought out. Every time I try using Office, I just feel how cobbled together it is, and its rampant inconsistencies and its need to put irr…

Apple would almost certainly correct a legitimate address used in a Google attack within a few hours. An address that is out-of-date or where Google mangles an address in some way that is arguably wrong would more likely remain as a difference betwe…

Does wholesale/retail even mean anything in E-books? I know it does, in that Amazon pays a certain amount to the publisher (wholesale), and charges a certain amount to the customer (retail). But, other than that, there is no cost of inventory sitt…

Pushing the web toward more standardized content formats is a good thing, and flash has certainly not shown itself to be well enough designed to justify the pain it would cause apple if they were to acquiesce to adobe's requests. But, that doesn'…
