This is pointless nonsense. What's demonstrated is a special effects video of a reworked Android home screen with a bunch of whizzy mystery-gesture interactions - the exact same kind of interactions that takes the longest for iOS users catc

Nitpick: That heat ferried by the gulf stream is what warns the Baltic is a quasi-religious supposition from the father of oceanography. The thermal ballast of the Atlantic ocean that develops in the summer is primarily responsible for most

Up voted you elsewhere, but you're claiming that flagship 2012 software features could or should fit into a device sporting a single core ARM processor with 256MB of RAM and a GPU that is verging on obsolescence. We're an order of magnitude

I thoroughly agree with all you wrote, save for the mother problem: iOS is the first platform where I've ever seen my mother seem in control and empowered by her computing experience. After five years those interaction models and expectatio

Good eye! I think you're totally right. This might force a new Air body which makes it more of a project than it would otherwise be. If the Air wasn't selling it might be a priority, but these things appear to be blowing off the shelf.

No don't get me wrong, I would strangle for 200+ DPI across 27". And it does seem inevitable. I thin it's just asking too much of the supply right now, especially when there's an entire MacBook and MacBook Pro line to update, not forgetting

I don't see Retina as priority for the desktop line at the moment. Sales of standalone iMacs and Thunderbolt Displays are a rounding error on their income streams and ordering 27" panels would soak up a lot of HiDPI panel output that would

There are at least two different kinds of encryption at work on Apple mobile products. The one that this knowledge base is discussing, is a crypto accelerator framework that allows you to quickly do high-quality encryption on a segment of d

Ah, apologies, I was being a bit unclear. The only way to daisy chain any series of displays anywhere in the Apple universe is by plugging Thunderbolt Display into a Thunderbolt Display into a Thunderbolt port. Daisy chaining is not being

by jpxxx 14y ago
Unfortunately no. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219#dispnum Thunderbolt only chains to Thunderbolt. But the port coming out of the Mac will gladly connect to one of anything.

by jpxxx 14y ago
No sir. For (presumably) dumb (presumably) Apple Reasons, a non-Thunderbolt display cannot be involved in that chain at all. I'm not sure why. This is not gospel, by the way - I don't know if this was a limitation of the prior MBAir or else

Negatory. The total volume of pixels the Mac can push is the limiter. As you add monitors, the Mac will eventually black out the laptop display and spend the pixels externally. Beyond that it'll simply refuse to light up the display it can'

Negatory. The Thunderbolt port is really just passing through a DisplayPort signal - any DisplayPort monitor will do. Displayport degrades nicely into HDMI, DVI, or VGA with an adapter, so sky's pretty much the limit. The new MacBook Pro do

McDonald's grills press the meat patties in real-world production. It drives out fluids and the finished product appears smaller than one cooked by different methods.

I'm not quite that charitable. Any marketing firm worth their salt can put 60 seconds of good sizzle in a tape. This is classical vapor without pricing, models, specifics, premiere launch titles, retailing partnerships, or even a launch qu

No worries. Launch the Apple Configurator app. [+] Profiles -> Create new Profile... Restrictions -> Configure button Uncheck [Allow Installing Apps] Uncheck [Allow Use of iTunes Store] Save, Prepare, done. Nasty icons gone.

Oh, and scuzzy remanufacturing shops will sell the truly fucked unrepairable gear in-store and try to pass it off as new. Get caught and Apple will annihilate you.

Let's put this to bed. Returns and refurbs alike are binned into lots of, say, 50 units. Third party repair companies bid on them. The winner takes possession, runs triage according to apple protocols and apple diagnostic tools, performs an

Apple's margins are famous, for sure, but Apple reseller margins are basically nonexistent. Service and sales have withered on the vine, support is all that's left. All that said, Apple accessories and third party accessories? Yes ma'am! Si

I honestly don't think this is enough. My video editing pals are dumping FCP in droves and there is no heat behind FCPX (updated or not) at all. And where there's no heat, there's no shop talk. Where there's no shop talk, there's no busines

This is pointless linkbait amounting to "Microsoft has products". The profitable and growing products, unfortunately, are not customer facing. So the Apple comparison is pretty unnecessary. Edit: 'consumer facing', rather. Their only happy
