"Easy to fix" for a pretty small segment of their customers. This is about as far from the "Apple experience" as you can get. Anybody have any idea about if this is any better in Mavericks?

If Cook ever provides us with his memoirs, this will be one of the things I'll be most interested in. I've never been in a Dixons but it seemed like everyone who had howled in protest when Browett was hired. At the time, I assumed

I hadn't noticed the "compressed" field in Activity Monitor, thanks for pointing that out. On my 8 GB Mac running quite a few things (Eclipse, Xcode, tons of Safari tabs, all the "standard" built-in apps open), mine

I haven't run mine on battery much since upgrading; but as you might expect I feel like my fans run less, which is much appreciated. MacBook Air 11", Mid 2012.

Same here: when I first launched Eclipse, it asked if I wanted to install JRE 6. Was kind of surprised it didn't ask if I wanted to install JRE 7, not sure why it's still set to 6.

The vast majority of evolution deniers I've known wouldn't have the slightest interest, I agree. But, as someone who grew up totally immersed in an evolution-denying atmosphere, I would have been very interested during that time

Can you say more about why? I assume it's a cost or environmental thing or both.

This vastly underestimates the importance of the massive number of users running browsers supplied by the vendor of their device/OS.

It's not at all clear that the absolute paranoiacs and the people saying that it's unlikely that any but a vanishingly small number of regular people will ever have Touch ID hacked are from the same set. When you say it's not

I bet you gold isn't going to stay hard to get (harder to get than any other 5s, at least) for very long at all.

Other retail stores (Best Buy, Target, Wal-mart, cell phone stores, etc) got at least some shipments over the weekend, did they not? Perhaps some golds were included in those.

It's more like a fraction of a second, not anywhere near 1-2 seconds in my experience. That said, I agree, even working with iWork-style apps might not be ideal. If they're gonna run iWork on TVs, I'd expect the apps to be ex

iOS 7 has, for the first time, support for not just Bluetooth keyboards but Bluetooth mice as well. Wait, what? If this is true, it certainly hasn't been talked about much. Edit: I should be more straightforward — I don't believ

Some of the buyers who buy through the Mac App Store would have bought directly from Omni instead, but the rest would have been lost sales. Also, just because more sales are done direct than via the MAS today, Omni may not expect it'll

When one of your last advantages is from lock-in, giving up that lock-in seems… risky, at the very least. Edit: Not that hanging onto it would help them either.

Supposing A-series chip performance continues to improve at the rate it has been, how long until an Apple TV with the then-current high-end A chip puts games on a TV of the same quality as current-gen video game systems? What about next-gen

Some of these don't seem "iOS 7ish" at all. Content in shaded boxes (within yet more shaded boxes!) is very much not the iOS 7 way. And strong lines separating content are rarely a good fit with the new look. The ones that
