As I have stated before, Apple should cultivate the creativity of Apple products users. Right now, Apple products users are the number one contributors to sites like Flickr, and significant contributors to other sites, like YouTube, FaceBook, Flick…

My bet is that rumor would be partly correct, but many would be off base, judging from prior record. One of those that may not come true is the multitouch gesture for the home button. It is just too small and redundant with the multitouch screen f…

The former CEO, now Chairman of the Board of Google, has been a close sci-tech adviser of the administration since the beginning. And, if I am not mistaken, Google spends more for lobby funds than Apple. It pays big dividends to have close relat…

Thanks for the blog link Dick Applebaum, This is a subset of the proposal I espoused in another thread. Indeed, Apple must become a conduit of "contents" directly coming from artists, developers, writers and other creators. The NC Facility and…

Just like developers for the Apps Store, Apple should consider direct submission of music and video, especially after the NC facility is already operational. In a similar fashion, artists may do this individually or band together as smaller labels …

To be fair, many of the major newspapers update their online content "to the minute". What is lost in the process of "up to the minute" news is the measure of accuracy and perspectives of news reporting. It was big news in itself when many pr…

The iPad was ridiculed and predicted to fail before, during, immediately after it was announced and many months after it was out. And yet, the same bloggers and pundits who had low opinion of the iPad trumpet the notion that all the other compani…

The expectations of iOS users, i.e., what they want to pay for an internet publication may not jive with that of the publishing companies. For example, New York Times is the main online paper I read. I used to be an annual subscriber during my st…

There is something that many forecasters seem to neglect. The demand for some consumers products, like the iPad, is seasonal. There is a bigger demand during the start of the school year and an even bigger demand (usually 40-60% of the annual total…

I do not have the precise numbers but the unit values given are for the quarter: Jan-March 2011. AT&T had all the three months to sell the iPhone => 3.6 million/3months = 1.2million/month. In contrast, Verizon had less than two months t…

As important as the iBook, Apple should have an App that will help writers create their iBooks. This should include easy integration of words and images, links, video and audio and other mass media. The integration of the aforementioned would al…

Many detractors have cited the lower unit marketshare of Apple as a negative. Actually, one can view it as an advantage primarily because Apple has a juggernaut of the "higher" more profitable end of the PC market. With increasing units sold (an…

It is too shortsighted to think that the NC facility will be used primarily as personal cloud-based library. Apple already has the Apps -- iPhoto, Aperture, iMovie, GarageBand, Final Cut Pro, Pages, FaceTime, AirPlay, etc. as well as those from …
