For my needs OSX is the perfect mix of a user friendly / powerful desktop OS. It's just a very elegant operating system. I feel like just about anything I need to do is very close to the surface. Anytime I am forced to use Windows or Linux,

There are a number of OSX utilities that do this well.

All the US carriers besides Sprint are backing the ISIS payment system. They've invested tens of millions of dollars into ISIS. They aren't going to let Google walk in and eat their lunch when they have the power (granted by Google ironical

I don't think that would be a good move for Microsoft. RIM would cost them probably $10B at least. What do they get out of it? They can't really back-port WP7 to the existing BB devices for a quick market-share grab. They don't want QNX. Th

Can you guys talk Apple into adding it as a preset search-bar option in Safari? It's kind of a pain to add it yourself or get out of the habit of using the search-bar

About 90-95% of the bandwidth available 'on the wire' is already being used to deliver Comcast's video service. So if this is the first nail it's been there for an awful long time. The way traditional VOD is delivered (QAMS full of MPEG2 pr

AT&T U-Verse also works in a similar way. One pipe carries data and video services. The circuit is provisioned to accommodate video services. AT&T could technically offer faster packages to customers who did not use U-Verse video se

Hard to say. I think Apple said they sold 3 million of them last year which would make it very successful within the tiny dedicated IPTV set top market. It's not really a finished product yet. The current Apple TV is like the Motorola Rockr

The new UI is temporary just like the previous ones have been. There have been at least 3 major redesigns of the UI so far. They change as needed to introduce new features. The current design is to make room for third party content & se

Not sure about that. I know lots of people under 40 years old who can't touch type. Hunting & pecking on a multi-touch keyboard is no worse than a physical keyboard. Probably better thanks to predictive typing and universal spell-check.

The iPad probably has the most impressive hands-on-upsell of any device I've seen since the iPod. Apple has sold about 60 million iPads so it might not be unreasonable to think another 200-300 million people have had some hands-on experienc

Probably more often they are just choosing not to replace their aging computers. Any PC within the last 5 years is good enough for most people. What's the incentive to spend $500 on a new PC? As long as the old PC continues to work I don't

One possible solution to that problem is to animate the window squishing as it hits the side of the screen and contracts.

I think part of this will be a major initiative to invest in education. We know Jobs was interested in re-inventing education and we also know he told President Obama he couldn't find enough qualified workers. The for-profit education marke

Totally disagree. Faster HSPA+ (DC-HSPA+) / LTE are here today. No reason to wait on improving the end user experience. We also have DOCSIS3 and FTTH on the residential broadband side. In any event bursty traffic like web browsing isn't the

Basically for the same reasons conservatives listen to Rush Limbaugh and liberals read Frank Rich. There's a place for objective journalism but it's not the only way. What Gruber does is more of a specialized type of journalism. If you've a

I'm not sure why an OS has to retain a 20 year old UI paradigm if a nicer method appears to replace it. If Metro actually replaced Windows classic I would agree but it doesn't. It just sits there on the side and randomly throws you out

This is true however they were able to do this in an era where there was no real competition to the PC. It's a very risky move to make now. I think a lot of people looking at buying a new PC in the next year are on the fence about buying an

Some of these issues are not immediately apparent but might be factors when you're buying your next device. Only time will tell.

I want both. It's more practical to make a tablet into a laptop than it is to make a laptop into a tablet. Eventually the iPad will run OSX when its docked into a MacBook Air or iMac style enclosure and run iOS when it's not. The two operat

I'm not exactly a kid anymore but I never got interested in programming because I found everything somewhat simple that I could actually program myself already existed. All the crazy stuff that I wanted to make was completely unachievable.

I think Microsoft's main mistake is pushing people into the new Metro UI on the PC. It should be totally optional in Windows 8. Maybe in Windows 9 or 10 when there are more Metro apps available and the kinks have been worked out they could

They're probably adding a few new features to iOS 5.x to launch with the iPad 3. In years past they showed off the next major version in the March/April time-frame but this was when the iPhone was launching in June/July. With an iPhone rele

Dropbox is a very good short term solution but I do think ultimately iCloud, Google's upcoming service, and Microsoft's SkyDrive will win-out. Being cross platform is an asset today but we're clearly moving towards a world where the cost
