Praying to the higher ups that they fix the issues with Finer and super slow SMB connection issues that have plagued Mavericks. From what I can tell Yosemite fixes it, so hopefully it will come to Mavericks.

Apple will get a lot of value out of this acquisition, which most of it will help pay for the deal itself in a relatively short amount of time. I'd say the main reason Apple is going this route is make sure they do not get dethroned as the music le…

You'd have to be an idiot to think a company like Facebook would spend all that money for a software purchase and not do what whatever they please with it.

I am all to familiar with Apple Resellers, family owned one for 26 years and it is still running under different owners these days. It's not hard to see why FirstTech is shutting their doors. First of all, 75 employees is outrageous, don't even know…

You'd have to be an idiot to think that Google won't be tapping into Nest's data. You don't pay $3.2 billion for a company and not tap into each and every corner of that company. I currently own a Nest and I have no problem with Google buying this c…

Let's think logically about this. There is a reason 5S' aren't available for preorder. The fingerprint scanner is very new technology that probably has never been produced at a scale this large. It's not crazy to think that they have a short supply …

If I had to guess, this is probably accurate. That fingerprint scanner is probably causing the delays and these phones will be very hard to come by.

People are foolish if they are arguing why Apple doesn't need larger screen phones. For me personally, I love the size of the iPhone 5 and if they created a larger phone, I would stick to the 4" inch screen if I had to guess. With that said, there i…

The evidence is overwhelming for this iPhone and people are still thinking all these pictures are fake. As for Apple using plastic packaging: iPad Shuffle, iPod Classic, iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPod Headphones, and I'm sure there is more if I though…

My former life was heavily involved with the reseller world. The claims that this French reseller is valid but there isn't much you can about it. The smart resellers adapt and get more into consulting and differentiate themselves from Apple. The res…
