The PlayBook is another of those smaller tablets that will fight it out for that part of the market -- right now the only competitor to the iPad remains the XOOM, which I found to be a bit disappointing once I got my hands on one (though there were …

Sad to see AppleInsider pick up this story. Please point to a direct quote generated by the authors of this story that back up their premise. This is simply hackery, not journalism. You may not like Apple's policies, and regulators may well one d…

Just to reiterate: there is nothing new in these stories -- it looks like the Dutch paper finally figured out the issues that have been facing Apple and publishers. A publisher who wants to give away the content for free, but charge others has no…

There is a bit more complexity here than is apparent in the article: The issue is giving the content away free to print subscribers while at the same time charging non-subscribers. What Apple seems to be saying here is that they don't want to dea…

It is 11 EST, the Verizon event is about to begin, and the Apple store still says "Select your iPhone, then choose your AT&T rate plan."

I would find it odd if Apple held an event to introduce a new carrier partner -- wouldn't want to diss those buying their phones through another carrier or retailer. Most likely Apple would only hold the event if it involved an entirely new product.…

Just to be clear: the 4G model will launch this summer, the 3G model launches in the first quarter, probably March. So far the Motorola XOOM looks like the best competition to the iPad because of its 10 inch screen. But based on the CNet video, i…

Question: how many of you subscribed to Wired before the iPad edition came out? or GQ? or Vanity Fair? Wired has a circulation of a bit over 700,000. Of that, single copy sales range between 75K and 120K per issue. The new iPad edition is bringin…

You guys are jumping to some terrible conclusions here. This app is not from WikiLeaks, it is an app from a guy trying to take advantage of material that is available for free on the Internet. It would be the equivalent of someone charging for an…

[QUOTE=Damn_Its_Hot;1769713]This may be all to obvious but have you tried trashing the prefs file and then restarting? Your issue sounds a bit different from what most are posting./QUOTE] Very good advice, imo. My guess is that some people are…
