    Bring 2 children with you? I don’t get it but thank Apple! You guys saved 6 more lives! And the DOJ wants to change that. Clueless DoJ. 
    It's a family, and they hike. Including the kids. It's great exercise until you don't reckon on higher-altitude weather/condition changes.
    It’s basically still winter like weather out there and these bozos thought it was a great idea to go hiking high up on the mountains? Darwin Award. The rescuers should make this family pay the cost for their stupidity.

  • How to refurbish a fifth-generation Time Capsule

    iCloud mostly replaces TimeCapule. Put everything you want backed up in your documents folder and turn iCloud on.

  • The next Apple CEO: Who could succeed Tim Cook?

    I was never a Cook fan. He's always lacked vision. Those of you who keep citing how great he is and how high the stock has gotten always missed the point. The point is that the last great products that moved the needle were all set in motion by Steve. The goggles thing, I predict, is not going to sell well until they can get the form factor and price way down. It remains to be seen why I would need it. They haven't even articulated why we need it. Steve, when he introduced the iPhone said very plainly that it's a phone, the internet, and an iPod all rolled into one. The goggles, how is it useful to people?

    If you look at the folks who have helmed Apple, John Sculley matched Cook the most. He was also a very competent CEO who was able to squeeze as much out of a product as he could. That defines Cook to a tee. He's been milking Steves ideas for over a decade. He's taken Steve's legacy as far as he can take it. It's apropos that he will now try to pawn off a shell of a company that's devoid of any new tentpole product pipeline. It's Sculley 2.0. The goggles are Cook's version of the Newton.

  • After 14 years, Apple has finally retired the famous MacBook Air wedge shape

    That image you show in the article is a MacBook Pro and NOT MacBook Air!!! A MacBook Air is thinner and has the headphone jack on the other side.
