Ha ha, I hadn't seen the Tab case before. Funny stuff. Like the Galaxy S UI, it doesn't look like there's been much effort made to conceal how much a direct copy it is. I don't know the ins and outs of patent law, or how this will all end up le…

Woohoo, my Core2 Duo iMac has made it to the very bottom of the comparison list. Apart from the normal new gear lust, though, I have not particular motivation to upgrade right now. The only tasks where I could really use the extra oomph are video …

Whatever the form of video out, iOS needs to support video mirroring to make it truly useful. I hope they'll add that in iOS5, right now you need to jailbreak and use DisplayOut to get that functionality.

By the way, CR still lists the iPhone 3GS as one of its recommended phones on ATT. But you shouldn't buy the Verizon iPhone4 because it doesn't have all the cool features of the other current phones.

Quote: If Consumer Reports is worried about iPhone 4 being refreshed, it should also be warning all Verizon users to hold off buying phones because of the new batch of LTE models being offered within six months. [...] Similarly, the posting comp…

Self-conscious use of the word "glitch" rather than "bug" is really annoying in this article. This is a gaping security hole, no need to soft-peddle it to the Apple faithful (of which I am one). I don't normally get bothered by this sort of thin…

Interesting about the 512 MB RAM; other sites are reporting (via benchmarking and such) that it only has 256 MB. Though 512 MB sounds more reasonable to me...

Quote: The report appears to support an independent analysis by an Apple investor community, which estimated that 120,000 iPads were sold on the first day alone, with orders then settling at a pace of roughly 30,000 per day. Correction: deagol h…

For those who don't rely on middle-click (which would probably include most non-techie users) the Magic Mouse will probably work great. I also see it as a good draw for Apple stores; unlike the Mighty Mouse, folks will try out the Magic Mouse and s…

I still haven't heard a credible suggestion of what is the "secret sauce" that's going to make this tablet (at whatever size) succeed where all past attempts have failed. It's certainly a possibility that the secret will simply be to get all the de…

Amazing that the most notoriously inaccurate AAPL analyst can move the stock so dramatically. I mean, while the stock's been sitting in the $120s for months, she suddenly jumps her target from $105 to $180? What the hell is that? Frankly, when …
