The Mac is niche, the Mac Pro is niche^2, and Mac Pro sales into Europe are niche^3. It's unlikely this event is going to force the schedule of a new Mac Pro design.

The hell he'll ever be cutting a check. This is nonsense. And are people seriously using this service? It's like renting a cardboard safe deposit box in a bad neighborhood.

The execution is spastic but the intent is correct: substantial portions of the Apple codebase are lipsticked pigs. Mail.app is, to my mind, the single most flagrant troublemaker in small-biz use. But there are thousands of little cockroach

How lovely for you. Now: the thrust of the piece is that for many, the status you assign yourself (and have assigned for you) in adolescence persists through adulthood.

Name and shame seems like a good tactic, but you must understand that the animal is incapable of feeling shame or remorse - they have no reputation to uphold. There is only predator and prey. Their world literally does not extend beyond you

So there's a stupendous expansion in sales of mid-range and low-range Samsung/Android devices, an Android-first carrier affiliate says Apple is stupid, people with Android phones want Android apps, and marketing dilettantes are tired of see

The only workable solution I've found: maintain absolute transparency with everyone in your various networks, and never, ever, ever respond to the animal in any way. It literally takes years for them to break off from the hunt, and there is

..and then another decade passed and OpenGL ES won every growth market, returning PC gaming to its niche status. Massive niche, of course, but niche. More Temple Run, dears?

I like the side-point this author makes. Anytime there's a new discovery in quantum theory or some other escoteric, sexy area of research, thousands of armchair scientist knowitalls fall all over themselves to decry or incorrectly interpret

I completely adored this! Furthermore, I can't come up with any reason why the Vine datatype won't be huge. It's Motion Tumblr... it's an alloy of video and anigif... it's silent... it auto-loops... it's extraordinarily boredom resistant.

TL;DR: -- Music players remain a shrinking niche. -- Mac sales have (at least) plateaued and are likely sinking in lockstep with the rest of the classical PC industry. -- Apple is doing fine. 75%+ of their revenue is now from iOS. -- China

True. But trashy in-house Experience Apps are ubiquitous and only going to improve. I think the idea here is that Samsung has an out if they end up needing it.

A majority of people are purchasing the phone they can afford first. Status purchases are for a more select population. And the phone you can afford is more likely to have Bada.

It doesn't need to be anything new, radical, or anything of the sort. All it aims to be is an Android-alike that Google doesn't control. (ideally one that also enables easy porting of Android code and assets) With this fixed goal and with S
