Before the introduction of tablets, traditional computng devices performed the tasks now expected of tablets. They simply offered an alternative input method and a more convenient form factor. We need to quit acting like convergence forces

Apple seems to be continuing a trend of cutting costs and passing the benefits on to themselves. First, instead of reducing the price on the iPhone 5, we get a plastic 1st-part knock off. I was ridiculed for saying that the high price of th

So I guess what he said about the price wasn't true at all, unless he was counting the 128GB iPad with mobile data instead of the Wi-Fi version. IMO, if the Pro 2 had a keyboard option kind of like the Lenovo Helix, it would be the ide

You're correct, but the iPad should be sufficiently powerful enough to run a proper office suite. Pages is good enough for my purposes(writing papers for college), but the other apps have a long way to go.

Before I start, let me say that I love the idea of a surface, and that the only reason I have an iPad instead of a surface is because I couldn't warrant spending $900 bucks on a secondary device at the moment. Both are great devices, b

I think it was kind of silly for PG to suggest that a programmer's dislike of meetings is somehow greater than everyone else's. I've worked in several fields, I haven't met anyone that either liked meetings, or felt that

It could have been an insincere apology, but there's no way to know from the article. Whether he was sorry or not, what he did to his interns would correctly be considered rape by today's standards. Personally, I detest JFK and pe

Actually, the article mentions that JFK apologized to both of them afterwards.

There are many sides to the cracking community, and the nefarious side of it is just as "legit" as the law-abiding side. They've been at it just as long and many of them are just as skilled as their legal counterparts. Note t

They are doing a piss poor job of filling that space because all they can do is work within the limitations of the capacitive touch screen and/or the wireless capabilities of the device. If Apple implemented a proper digitizer, it woul

I'm impressed that Apple got the weight down to 1lb, but shrinking the size of a consumer electronics device is par for the course, not really something that I would consider "revolutionary."

Just because they make something, doesn't mean it works well. Only someone with relatively small hands will be able to type accurately and comfortably on that thing. It's also not the kind of keyboard case that works well on your

Right. It was never debatable whether or not the current iPad has a digitizer. It doesn't. I'm just saying if they are starting to embrace productivity, they should have added one. The current iPad has a capacitive touch screen, t

by phaus 13y ago
The digitizer is actually a separate layer in most cases. There are lots of products that have both a digitizer and a capacitive touch layer. The lack of a digitizer isn't what makes the iPad more responsive. If Apple wanted to do it,

Steve Jobs isn't working at Apple anymore. He was great for Apple, but they aren't obligated to agree with every idea that he ever had, and integrate them into their business model. He has often said that he thought something was

Because every other tablet pc/tablet with a integrated pressure-sensitive stylus is much better than anything released thus far for the iPad by third parties.

by phaus 13y ago
So their new commercial for the iPad focuses on the fact that so many people use it for productivity, so why can't Apple create a decent, first-party pressure sensitive stylus, so we don't have to deal with expensive, clunky, thir

I know that not everyone uses a keyboard case, but I am saddened by the fact that the new one is too small to support a usable keyboard case. When I purchased a Clamcase Pro, I started using my iPad for pretty much everything, from term pap

Is there something special about Apple's DRAM that makes it not a retarded decision to cut the amount of RAM in the baseline rMBP in half? Or did they just do it simply to give you the illusion that the price of the machine is cheaper

If someone fails to listen to reasonable advice, it isn't your fault. If he blamed you, he would be an idiot. He should be pissed at himself, as well as the con-artists that took his money. If anything, you should have way more credibi

OSX sounds like a good match for you. Honestly, if I had the cash, I would probably get a Haswell rMBP, so I could potentially run all 3 OSs. I'm a security analyst, so its nice to be able to run everything without any compromises. Unf

An identically priced MBA has a mediocre, low-res TN panel in comparison with the Yoga. A Haswell rMBP is going to have a marginally better GPU and a ~$300 higher price. If you like OSX better than Linux or Windows, it makes more sense to g
