@Wizard69. Your comments regarding micro servers are thoughtful and cogent. The volumes of CPUs Apple sells would easily allow the design team the kind of funding to design high performance chips. Right now Apple is focusing on energy consumptio…

Apple's design team could design a high performance ARM processor to compete with the Xeon. It is a relatively straight forward task and likely less complicated than designing a low power 64 bit design using the ARM ISA. Such a chip would allow fo…

Well, I forgot that Apple is already using an AMOLED screen from LG for the watch. It would seem only a matter of time before those screens come to the iPhone and iPad. The watch screen is easily viewed in bright sunlight also.

LG has solved the problem with blue pixels burning out by using a white led and filters. They have big plans for OLED displays which include smartphones including displays that can be folded up and placed in one's pocket. I don't know of any LCD d…

It goes to show that Samsung trounces Google in hardware. Apple trounces Samsung in the OS along with most aspects of hardware with the OLED screen on Samsung phones something Apple should adopt. Google still has a long way to go in competing with…

Apple's A series of ARM processors are the state of the art period. Intel has nothing that is even comparable. It is inconceivable that Apple isn't putting a great deal of resources into OS X. They are making incredible profits and the Mac lines a…

Backlit LCD screens are going the way of the dinosaur. It's precisely the reason Sharp is in trouble along with the rest of the Japanese electronics industry. LG and Samsung make the best displays period. Though they are competitors in that they b…

I for one will be purchasing an iPad Pro. Hopefully Apple, or some third party will produce a thunderbolt to lightning cable that can move data ultra fast. Even USB 3 to lightning would be better. The screen resolution is insane, the device will h…

Forget about USB-C to lightning cables. Where can I purchase a thunderbolt to lightning cable? At Thunderbolt speeds, syncing a 128 GB device should take less than a minute! I am being facetious, but why isn't Apple working on giving us something l…

I am truly digging the iPad pro. I will be purchasing the keyboard and the stylus. This machine will improve so many things for me. The only question I have is whether the machine comes with the rumored USB-C port? This is the machine for me. Passe…

LG and Samsung have the best display technology right now and producing high quality OLED screens. Sharp has no hope of catching them. If it weren't for the fact that Samsung and LG phones run Android, I'd have purchased them for their gorgeous scr…

Chrome is banned from all of my devices. I don't care about Adobe's junk software Flash so there is no need for a browser that hogs my CPU cycles and takes over much of my available DRAM and then demolishes my bandwidth sending as much of my data as…

If Intel can get this technology to market in a timely fashion, they will have something to drive profits for a short time. As for the technology taking over the msrket, it is highly doubtful. Nantero has a carbon nanotube solution that looks even b…

I for one, am waiting for this machine. Even at 800 to 900 USD I would buy it. The MacBook is unappealing and I desperately need something better than the MacBook Air with its awful battery life.

I realize that I made a mistake in the previous post. I meant to say the holy grail of volatile and non-volatile memory "convergence" seems close to realization. Instant booting, work never being lost in the event of a kernel panic, low power cons…

I realize that there are people who feel strongly about Android. Unfortunately, the OS has been mismanaged by Google, which remains a wallstreet darling. Google should fostered a close relationship with Samsung. Unfortunately they estranged their …

Dish/T-mobile do not produce content. Apple and Disney have a close relationship. Don't see where this is a threat to Apple TV. A threat to ATT, Verizon, Sprint and perhaps the cable providers along with Google fiber.

If one is extracting 20% of the useful energy from a Zn-MnO2 cell, that means there is 80% or 4 times left in the cell at a cutoff of 1.35 volts (which is ridiculously high) there should only be a 400% increase in the available energy. Where is the …

I fail to see how MSFT will benefit from the purchase of Blackberry. While Blackberry has a treasure trove of patents and a solid presence in the enterprise and government markets, their sales are pitiful and cannot leverage economies of scale to …

I'm no longer interested in purchasing a machine with an Intel CPU. Intel inside is now a liability, and definitely not an asset. I will be purchasing an iPad with an A9X as soon as it is released. I would have purchased the new MacBook had Apple …
