I'm also a fan of simplicity. If the new UI (CoolIris-inspired, from what the article says) is anything like the CoolIris plugins available now, I fear we're headed to over-the-top superfluous animations throughout the system. "When you sc

I've only played with them at the Apple Store, but the iPhone4 silence switch seemed a lot better than the ones on my original 2G and current 3GS. My 2G switch was so flimsy that it would toggle on and off in my pocket from idle friction,

Apple grew to become the 2nd largest US company by market cap through customer ignorance? Yeah, that sounds plausible.

Coming from any other source, I'd consider this news. Seeing how it's from Gizmodo though, I'll wait until other people corroborate the story before believing it.

So you've used the new phone? Most people actually, you know, try a device before reviewing it.

Using that logic, it's 3M sold in about 40 years, since that's about when the first microprocessors were developed.

I imagine iOS4 multitasking on a 128mb device would be horrible. The OS has grown with every release; there's probably even less memory for apps to work with in 4.0. I think Apple would rather see complaints of not supporting the 3G rather

Hmm, creating a new developer account is like a 15-second process; I don't see any way they could possible enforce the NDA.

Very nice. I remember them charging $500 for this last year. Does the WWDC NDA apply to these videos?

I'd be curious to see how many cameras are left on those cars after leaving them overnight in the Tenderloin.

AFAIK, you could already do this (mini-DVI out and displayport).

I like how "Apple's Worst Security Breach" ends up being a privacy issue with AT&T's website. Quality "reporting" from Gawker, as usual.

I tried it with some AnandTech/TomsHardware pages, and it worked on their 10+ page articles as well. Makes reading those type of sites a lot less irritating. I'd love to see this feature in Chrome/Firefox/etc, so sites would stop splitting

The 10-year charts for MSFT and AAPL are pretty astonishing when plotted linearly, not logarithmically : http://www.google.com/finance?chdnp=1&chdd=1&chds=1&...

Many of the points are valid (I really, really, _really_ would like widgets or something on the lockscreen), but the author's tone makes it seem like he's short AAPL posting on Yahoo finance. (Or more likely, inciting fanboys on each side t

Considering how Gizmodo basically stole the spotlight out of the new iPhone announcement (the highlight of Steve's keynote) and wrote petulant "we have your phone, you want it back?" emails to him, I'm not surprised how Jobs has a vendetta

Virtualization could work, but Apple would have to build in support for it (versus the current approach of running x86 versions of the iPhone apps/frameworks).

I don't see how this is even remotely possible. How would you run/debug apps you compiled with VS? I highly doubt that Apple would port their platform-specific libraries and frameworks (among others, OpenGL.framework, Kernel.framework, IOK

Flash could run at 100% native app speeds with no battery hit and Apple still wouldn't support it. Why? It's not part of their overall plan to give Adobe power over the platform. So no, Apple doesn't need to (and won't) reconsider their pos

Interesting on how the tone of the Gizmodo article is almost over-the-top pro-Google and anti-Apple. Seems almost like a backlash to the entire Jason Chen/REACT situation.

Since Google bought Android in 2005, I'm highly doubtful they were trying to save us from a "draconian" iPhone-AppStore-centric world 3 years in advance.
