As a consumer, I don't see what's wrong with what Amazon is doing. Lowering the price of ebooks to below cost will only hurt consumers if Amazon can eliminate competition and then raise price later. But this will never happen in the modern world b…

The problematic part is, now that iPad mini becomes the standard, people will start to use the $329 as the anchor for tablets which means it'd be hard for Apple to create new premium products and higher price points that people will be willing to …

Actually this matters a lot, in fact I've said here many times, a lot of people will be buying the iPad mini instead of the bigger iPad, and this will hurt both the total revenue and margin. I'm not suggesting Apple should not have produced the mi…

It's a smart move. You don't want to tie most of your wealth in 1 company, no matter how high you value the company.

This thing called Surface Pro has identify crisis. On the 1 hand, you're somewhat a tablet and run some tablet apps (won't be a lot compared to iPad), on the other hand you're kinda a laptop/desktop by running those win 7 desktop apps, except thos…

This, if happened, would be a bad shift. Seriously, that'd just mean current TSMC customers will order from Samsung instead of TSMC while Apple would order from TSMC. That means other customers (i.e. Android device manufactures) will get better ch…

Let's not underestimate how much this is due to politics. This Richard guy probably is Forstall's buddy, it's only natural that Cue put someone new to replace this guy.

The sale is actually on the 2nd generation Kindle Fire, not 1st generation (and not Kindle Fire HD either). That's $129 down from $159. In fact KF was the most searched term yesterday. People wanted to buy 1 for their kids. Yes, at $12…

The thing that nobody even tries to explain is, how can traffic per hour be up but total iPads (retina+mini) sold be down? Can't say that's because mini is out of stock because they aren't (at least the 32G/64G ones). Instead of being worrie…

Since AT&T already have a soft data cap for unlimited plan, this is the least they can do.

No need to make any excuse, let's face it iPad and iPad mini are going to make fewer people buy Macs and PCs in general, plus there's also this low end segments filled by tablets by Google and Amazon. Expensive computers are hard sell these days e…
