What newbie wrote this? Apple already made such a switch twice, not once - from 68000 to PPC, then from PPC to Intel. In both cases they ran legacy apps under emulation while developers slowly tranisitioned to fat binaries before being able to conce…

Great new ad campaign, what's happened to apple's new head of marketing. Wait, what?

Jesus, talk about mountains and molehills. This has been over the Internet more than Kim Kardashian's arse, haven't we got better things to worry about, like state sanctioned torture? Two things: If there was no potential offence in the 'nudity' sce…

It's by now well established that these market estimates are BS. So why is it that apple insider continues to post their reports as if they're valid? When the last report came out this very site reported "apple sales did this..." when we all know th…

Last year's 4S, 23% of 5 million or so - say 1.3 million units This year's 5C, 27% of 9 million - 2.4 million units Increase in sales - 84% ((2.4-1.3)/1.3*100) Of course, the rise in sales in the opening weekend is partly due to additional markets,…

Product "surprises" for the fall quarter. Will anyone be surprised by an iPhone 5S? Cook's comments about the fall don't strike me as applying to iPhone, iPad etc

The home server would be nice, and even a distinct possibility to replace the current Time Capsule. Apple won't be doing an ARM based mac in the near future. I can see three reasons, all based on the fact that powerful though the A5 is relative …

Interesting that they should showcase live video streaming over HTML5 just after Flash becomes available for Android, and shows terrible performance. I'd bet a big part of their reasoning is to show the superiority of HTML5 video over flash for mobi…

The UK site is now showing late May availability for the iPad with pre-orders from 10th May, whereas until yesterday it was showing late April availability. The 3G model is still showing as late April on the US store, and WiFi models are of course a…

Multitasking in the UI is nice on a smartphone, because it lets you listen to one app while viewing another, as well as allowing background monitoring for e.g. chat messages. It's not essential for most users though, since the screen on a smartphone…

Impressive. Of course, if any of this made any sense we might not have had a massive crash in the financial system recently. Let's face it, it's all bollocks, and any share trade is basically a confidence trick. The more we pretend that any of this …

All well and good, and I'm convinced that UTIs are a better solution than type/creator codes in a number of ways. But it misses the point of complaints about the change in handling of creator codes in Snow Leopard. This article would apply equally t…

Let's hope they do the same for the Touch. I'm still pissed off that after advertising it as being capable of editing calendar entries and acting as a USB drive, it turns out it can do neither. Crippled between ordering and shipping, what's that all…

Hmm, Apple wants to sell their own devices. NBC have just realised this? One thing they haven't realised: people don't buy iPods to watch NBC shows; they buy iPods, and if they can watch NBC shows as well so much the better. Witness iPod sales in Eu…

I loved this: Apple is unfairly profiting from any sales of its version of the adapter, particularly those bundled with portable Mac computers that require a battery Um, what versions of the battery charger are bundled with computers without a bat…

Just wondering, from here in the UK, about the difference between EDGE and 3G. Of course 3G is faster, but how widespread is its availability in the US? A fast service that you can't get has got to be worse than a slow service that you can get, sure…
