This is the result of most "bean counter-led" corporate takeovers. Since Jobs died, I expect to see greed-based, MBA-type revisions to the company culture. As if Apple is not making enough money or profits already, the MBAs come in and screw up …

Will the GPS function work without 3G coverage or with my WiFi-only iPad2? If I go to Europe and do not want to get hosed for 3G roaming charges and I turn that function off, will the GPS features still work?

I love the 17" MBP, but I can also see using a 15" MBP as long as it now has a Thunderbolt port. The 17" has a slot for an Express 34 card, which the smaller models do not. I need that Express card for my SATA drives. However, Thunderbolt is fas…

This was the location of a CDW store that failed about 5 years ago. There is little parking available nearby and the corner is very congested, near the entrance to the Kennedy Expw (I-94). Good Luck, MacMall.

It would be great if Apple would at least offer an upgrade to the newest motherboard/chipset if they do not go forth with new Mac Pro machines. I would be interested in upgrading my Mac Pro which is a dual Quad 2.26GHz (8 core). The physical machi…

I love Apple products and have at least a dozen Macs and other computers. That said, I understand that using Chinese slave labor does save on costs in manufacturing. I think Apple has t come clean on this issue. Yes, the Chinese workers "earn" ab…

Well, of course it is larger than the Pentagon. What else is Apple going to do with the $80 Billion it has hoarded off the backs of slave labor in China? You might think Apple could bring some production back to the US, to Cupertino and give some …
