Buzzkill warning... It's a boat, probably a barge or tour boat. The missing vessel is an artifact of combining multiple photos for a smooth transition. Don't believe me? Look up the London Eye and check of the Thames. It's swarming with "ghost" sh…

Awesome! Thank you so much for this story! I'm still using my iPhone 3GS, which is still a great phone. When I upgrade to a 5S this weekend I'll give my 3GS to my son. I was worried about resetting the phone first, as he may not be able to download…

Amazon is selling off their remaining physical copies of Parallels 8 for ~$50. It's a great deal given you can upgrade it to 9 for free when it comes out in September! -Robin

Who cares? Unless you live in the USA, Australia or New Zealand, Pandora is a nonstarter.

Blackberry should marginalized their entire phone business and look for a new market for its technology, such as mobile medical devices or in-vehicle computer systems. These are both areas Apple is not likely to get into (aside from interacting with…

RIM wasn't caught off guard by the iPhone, they were downright ignorant. I know people who work(ed) at RIM when Apple introduced iPhone and they saw no virtue in what Apple was doing. Rather than understand what their competition was doing well, the…

I know several people from RIM who I was in school with. When Apple introduced iPhone the fall of 2007, they totally dismissed it. "Apple doesn't know anything about phones.", "The iPhone is a data hog, AT&T hates it and iPhone users can't get e…

Just to be clear, 2x the speed is a 100% increase, not 200%. Still not bad though, so I look forward to getting Mountain Lion.

I dislike the idea of patent trolls, but after giving this some thought it may not be such a bad thing. Hear me out... Firstly, patent "trolling" is not illegal, though one can argue it is somewhat unethical. Forgetting the ethical argument, cons…

OK, so I won't deny that giving your kid your password is pretty stupid. I won't even tell my son the password to log into my devices. However, it's clear that games like Smurfs Village were intended to take advantage of unsuspecting parents (or …

I applaud the change. As for responsibility? Keeping your password secret is responsible. Buying apps for your kids is responsible. Writing a "kids" game that charges $99 to proceed through the game? That's irresponsible. Apple has found a happy…

The regulators will look into this because they have to, it doesn't mean Apple has done wrong. I don't really see the problem. Apple isn't saying publishers can't publish content at a different price, they're only saying they can't sell the iOS c…

I should add that initially there was no warning to parents about the in-app purchases. This was added around late December.

I'm the parent quoted in the article and I can assure you that I never downloaded the app. Smurf's Village initially caught my attention when it surpassed Angry Birds as the top grossing app in the App Store. I was surprised to see a free app li…
