  • First iPod went from conception to shipping product in ten months

    macgui said:
    I still have my 5GB iPod. It needs a new battery, and the FW adapter still works. I wonder if iTunes still supports it. No sense in resurrecting it if I can't put some newer music on it. It might be distressing to see my tastes in music back in that day.

    I have an older 64GB one with the 30 pin connector. It doesn't work with iTunes anymore, so I'm stuck with music before 2008-ish.
    /my car has a cable for it, so I happily still listen to my pre-2008 music on it.

  • Editorial: Pro Display XDR and Apple's Grand Stand

    I'll say it again.... I have been told by someone in the know (has had one for 6 months now) that the display comes with a stand included in the box. Just not the Pro stand.

    And holy cow! I bought a little quick-release setup for my Red camera for $1500... a 480GB SSD rehoused in a RED enclosure is still $1450... For professional work, this is not that expensive. Especially if you see that a color correct monitor has usually been at least 3 times the price of the Pro monitor and Pro stand!

    They will sell thousands of them if not tens of thousands. But not millions of them.

  • Red prevails over Apple in Rawcode patent challenge

    As I read this article I pondered the possibility of Apple’s actions were for testing the strength of Red’s patents before buying the company and thereby protecting itself from others who haven’t attacked Red but who would not hesitate to attack Apple in court. 
    Interesting... Jim Jannard did just retire and shut down the Hydrogen phone project... he sold his baby Oakley before. Why not RED? Hmmmmm......

    Red is a private owned company so it's not possible for Apple to buy it.


    Being private means it would be easier for them to buy RED.

  • What to expect from Apple's Q4 2019 earnings report on October 30


    /the P/E ratio lately has me confused even more!

    Really? Compared to the past couple of years? 

    Why?
    I'm used to 10-13... now it's at M$ and GOOG levels... even Amazon is below 80 today! Dogs and cats living together!

  • What to expect from Apple's Q4 2019 earnings report on October 30

    Wait a minute, most of these any-lists are saying iPhone will only account for about half of Apple's revenue?
    I thought Apple was a one-trick pony like Google is with ads or Microsoft is with software...
