watchaFurthermore - the 'Retina' term itself, while maybe copyrighted by Apple, is not a marketing 'ploy' because it is backed up by scientific understanding. For example, in the print industry, 300 ppi is regarded as the quality required for the detail to look perfect.So, the word 'retina' may...

ojasExecutables in Mac OS have a *.app extension, which is where this word comes from. Sadly even Microsoft uses it. ??? App is short for application, and has been in use since....at least the 1970s. I want to say the term "app" pre-dates apple, but the first use I know of was "the killer app"...

g-thorPlus, how many little riders are going to get added to the tail of this one? Realistically, there wouldn't be any riders on this bill. It's way to controversial. I would mark SOPA and PIPA to be prime candidates to be a rider on another bill, but these would never have riders attached...

Sorry, but little comments bother me. iTV does not exist as a product from Apple, and I hope it never will. iTV is a broadcast channel in the UK, as it has been since the mid 1960s, and I hope they have the spine to keep their brand name in the face of some ass hat companies obsession with...

alidani call bs on this. i live in Wisconsin, about 11 cents per kwatt, and during the summer a monthly electricity bill comes close to 3-400$ once topping off at 500.i find it extremely hard to buy that tech services trump utilities.... if it was gass and water only, than yea, but if you lump...

I've always thought putting fuel cells on laptops would be a great idea, but since the fuels are usually some form of flammable material, either to begin with, or transformed into such, would they be allowed on airplanes. I have to imagine it wouldn't be difficult to capture the hydrogen and...

brandonb1985I want my money back for the "Hands Free Link" in my Honda then!! The Feds have no business in this kind of thing. I do not text and drive myself, nor will I ever, but I still think making a law against something like this is about as effective as putting a "No Handguns on Campus"...

dheadleyThis story has been posted for days on other tech sites and everyone with an iPhone is asking why apple is getting sued for this at all. The iPhone doesn't apperently do caller -ID this way and never has. It only shows the incoming number and puts a picture/face with it if you have a...

I like my droid X, but really, I have a zune hd, and that thing is fricken incredible. I really wish they hadn't killed off that line. Knowing windows phone 7 is descended from the zune hd, I'd consider one if they have any decent ones available when I'm available for upgrade. Really, all...

I hear over and over and over "more level playing field" and stuff about eliminating cost advantage to online stores. Quick question to you brick and mortar advocates, when was the last time people had to pay shipping and handling when they bought something from a brick and mortar store? And...

I wouldn't want to work for google, their non-standard benefits are good, but their pay kind of sucks. It looked good at first as I was in colorado, but when I adjusted for cost of living for moving to california, it would have been a rather large pay cut.

watchaPeople who use Siri also use it to dictate long pieces of text far far quicker than they can type on a mobile phone. I kind of want to rip you on this using my old adage "I type faster than I write, and I write faster than I think. Tell me to write a paper on a computer and I'm completely...

Occupy your streetClearly no one here understands how stock options work. While these big numbers sound impressive and make your anti-Apple fervor peak, how much do you think these options are worth? Tick tock, tick tock... The answer is $0.Stock options give the grantee the right (after...

watcha1 - Siri removes the need to look at the screen whilst driving, much like hands-free sets, which have been shown to massively increase safety. People will try to text when they're driving regardless, this gives them a better way to do that. Just like you can talk to people in your car...

retrigRambling assumes that it was long winded. It was actually short and there was nothing "incoherent" about it. The only rambling incoherence was your own post. It was a quote from billy madison....
