Apple is attempting to differentiate their portable devices and better battery life would be quite important. Perhaps not so much with the iPad or iPhone, but the iWatch getting less than 24 hours on a charge is problematic. Taking the watch off of …

I am interested in a thin, light, and capable machine that can live off of the battery for the entire day. This machine might be able to deliver so I'll withhold judgment. However, I won't hold my breath as I have yet to see any Intel powered mach…

The force touch interface will be nice on the iPhone and iPad. However, the A9 chip promises the greatest benefit from my perspective.

I actually like the S6 from a hardware perspective. However, I would never buy anything with Android loaded up on it. Not now, not ever. Perhaps if Microsoft could release an OS that displaces Android, I might consider it. Apple would never release …

ARM processors are very inexpensive compared to Intel x86 chips. Apple sells obscene numbers of them. And Apple is so profitable, they can afford to finance the development of newer and better ones for far longer than Intel can with x86. Apple has s…

I am not interested in the new MacBooks. There may be a huge demand for these machines, but I am not one of them. The Core M looks like it's a decent performer, but there is no way it is anywhere near as inexpensive as the A8X. The machine costs m…

I'm looking for the pro model. But if Apple is really just overclocking the A8X or putting in faster RAM, I'll just wait for the A9 model. The iPad Air 2 is good enough. Having another display would be nice, but not compelling enough for me to purch…

Android needs Blackberry and IBM in order to secure the system. But 2300 for the device seems a little steep. Not certain this is the product to bring blackberry back into relevance. They should have produced a "secure" iPad. At least the iPad will …

I had tried one of those Android devices. Got myself the Motorola Droid when it was first released. That phone was useless within a year. Couldn't update Android. Every iPhone I have had ever since has lasted me a minimum of two years and the orig…

Ah, the Intel Quark processor. More vapor ware and bravado by a company that is becoming slowly rendered into irrelevance. Is the Quark processor line even shipping? No mention of battery life either. How much contra revenue is Intel going to sin…

There is another elephant in the room regarding the A series processors. And it is a giant one more the size of a mastodon. It is price. The ARM processors are like an order of magnitude lower in cost. An A series machine would allow Apple to lowe…

So, which developers are using the modified version of XCode. And how do we know if the malicious code with the backdoor has been installed in our devices? I might just have to purchase an iPhone and leave as is without installing any third party ap…

I just can't get excited about the MacBook. If Apple had inserted the A9 processor, I would be in line to purchase the machine. I am desperately looking to replace my first generation iPad and my MacBook Air. Intel Core M processors are a fail. I'…

I am on the iPhone 5S and do not see any need to upgrade to the 6 at present. The A9 with a greater amount of DRAM would probably compel me. Samsung's SOCs are awfully hard to beat and I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung is actually producing the m…

Nvidia and AMD are very likely much more threatened by Apple's mobile chips. It will be interesting how the A9 stacks up against the Tegra X1 in graphics performance. If the benchmarks are true regarding the Samsung Exynos 7420 and the chip is rea…

It doesn't make sense for Apple to decouple the GPU from the CPU in the A(x) processor and manufacture it separately for use in their desktop and laptop computers. It would seem much more logical that Apple would release a MacBook Air with the A(x) …

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Still, 95%+ marketshare does not imply absolute dominance. There is a developing movement away from MS and it is very evident overseas. Anyone think that the Far East won't be playing a big role in this?…

This is getting interesting. I had forgotten all about the fiasco that was Pink and Copland. With all of the delays, Longhorn's development schedule is sounding suspiciously like what Apple was experiencing in the 90's with Copland. My, m…

x86 does indeed rule the market for now. Unfortunately for PC makers, x86 is in a heap of trouble. IBM will be able to scale the PowerPC much faster, cheaper and easily than either Intel or AMD will be able to with the x86 chip. AMD isn't even s…
