It's amazing how many people are getting hung up on "high fidelity" and assigning it more meaning than it has. All it means here is that it's a smart speaker that can sound good, rather than adequate. It doesn't mean that it'll replace your pristi…

Have the Nike+ model, and it made sense to me just for the sport loop -- it's definitely better than buying a GPS-only model and picking up a loop after the fact. And yeah, the 16GB of storage and ceramic back make it a good compromise between the …

Holy crap, folks, this is a watch band celebrating a special event that promotes diversity, kindness and tolerance (among other positive values). It's amazing how many people act as if this is the downfall of civilization. Besides, here's some new…

No, "most" Android phones don't look like iPhones. Besides that being a difficult thing to quantify (really, you've looked closely at hundreds or thousands of Android phones?), it's based on a flawed premise: that virtually any touchscreen-only p…

Like others have hinted, OLED is finally catching up. Look at the Galaxy S6: that OLED is bright, vivid and (if you use a neutral video setting) still pretty color-accurate. The battery life is sub-par, but that's more a virtue of Samsung cramming…

The $1,799 price would likely be a virtue of the switch to dedicated graphics that Apple has to make thanks to the Intel/NVIDIA spat. Apple isn't about to put out a MBP with Intel-only graphics, but it can't use the 9400M anymore, either. Soluti…

I'd say the rentals are worthwhile. If you've got a large computer display or you have a Mac mini hooked up to your HDTV, it may make more sense to rent the HD version there than to think about getting an Apple TV just for the sake of the higher re…

I get the nagging feeling that this is one of those leaks which we'll swear up and down is "fake," one we'll nitpick the details of for hours, and yet which will ultimately be accurate. Remember, that initial black iPhone on a keyboard was decrie…

ascii: HDCP doesn't necessarily connect to the resolution, though. For that, you need to have the Image Constraint Token (ICT), and even many Blu-ray movies don't use that.

Assuming the NVIDIA story holds true (and I hear it will), here's what I'd tentatively expect for the updates: MacBook: 2.26GHz - 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo - 2GB RAM - GeForce 9300M integrated GPU - 160GB hard drive - Superdrive - $999 MacBoo…

Sad to say, it isn't hard to predict what Apple will do based on its history: iPod shuffle: 2GB ($49) and 4GB ($69) iPod nano: tall redesign, 8GB ($149) and 16GB ($199), multiple new colours iPod touch: slight redesign, 8GB ($199), 16GB ($299…
