"For example, NYU’s Jeff Han demonstrated a set of sophisticated multi-touch applications at a 2006 TED Talk. Apple’s genius was largely to recognize that these same multi-touch gestures could be usefully translated to the form-factor of a

Looks nothing like the iPhone and shockingly wasn't even a phone.

Poor article. Show multitouch before the iPhone, show "touchable" screens before the iPhone, conclude the iPhone was just a copy. Meanwhile all phones since the iPhone look a heck of a lot like it.

Except that looks nothing like the iPhone, while most smartphones now look a heck of a lot like an iPhone.

Shh. Don't think logically. It makes for a better story if you make up your own facts, like when MSFT saved Apple by giving them $150M out of the goodness of their hearts.

The Mac sales are not diminishing at all. They are INCREASING. The fact the iOS is also increasing, and increasing at a much higher rate, doesn't mean Mac sales are decreasing.

You have yourself all worked up because of the wording in a dialog box on a dev preview of an OS due months from now?

Whether the bug is fixed by the Chromium team or not, Google should not have been exploiting it to track users.

"I got really unhappy with it when random open source tools suddenly disappeared offline and became $2 pay-to-play software on the mac store." This has nothing to do with Apple. "For anyone who doesn't want to play on the app store they

You missed the point of the paragraph and cherry picked a sentence out of context. The first two sentences of the paragraph you cite are: "For me, the answers are easy. It’s the software that matters most to me. " He then partners iOS and

Your title makes this sound controversial, but it seems pretty straight forward. If as you said, you sold a few hundred copies at both $2.99 and $4.99, haven't you made enough to renew the $99 dev fee and still be ahead? Assuming 'a few hu

"Apple's PC sales are a rapidly diminishing part of their business..." Flat out BS. Take a second and look up the numbers.

Interesting stance you have. Based on your romanticized description: "The truly free exchange of ideas, thoughts, and opinion. " and what you admit the actuality was: "I was... one of the aforementioned persons who were... starting flame

"... seems priced based on revenue and growth expectations..." Seems based on what? One method, and probably the most popular, is to look at the PE ratio, which for AAPL is a low value, not in comparison to other tech companies, but in

"Very high growth expectations" is what the OP referred to, not sustainability of income stream. Of course Exxon has a lower PE, do you really expect a high growth rate for them? UPDATE: Why do you keep changing your post? Just reply to m

"...AAPL has very high growth expectations priced into the stock which they somehow need to continue to meet." It only takes a minute to go to a finance site and look up the PE for AAPL and see that this is utter nonsense. The PE is 16.

How many apps need an exit button? Just because you look around the App Store and don't see a bunch of apps with exit buttons doesn't mean it's because they aren't allowed. It never even crossed my mind to put an exit button in my apps be

iCloud is an umbrella term. It makes no sense to compare iCloud to Dropbox. Dropbox doesn't provide app syncing (calendar, contacts, mail, alarms, etc.), it doesn't provide photo syncing, nor Music Match, or anything else iCloud provides an

How is the pricing for Mongo on EC2? The absolute minimum would be single server w/ journaling running on a 64-bit instance. I am assuming the 64-bit micro is to IO bound, so the Large instance is the next minimum viable instance. At $0.34/

Makes no sense. People aren't buying the Fire because they want a nice, inexpensive tablet. Hardware wise, it's very similar to a lot of existing tablets (that hardly anyone wants). People are buying the Fire because of the tight integrat

I don't know about saying "That was never the case...". At the time the decision was made, a blackberry-style device was indeed the target. The problem was when the target shifted to iPhone instead.

Wouldn't the fact that Apple is able to remove the scrollbars in several situations imply that they aren't a 'linchpin' of UI design? I rather like that I get a little extra real-estate, but some times I would like a visual indicator that t
