    ...And Thus Ends the Mystery of Why the Zune Will Never Succeed

    Where have you been? You say: "r, and unlike all of the iPods on the market, it actually features a radio tuner - and an HD one at that. " Haven't you heard, Apple has not only recently given the iPod Nano a radio turner, and a pedometer, but also a video recorder, with more memory, etc., and...

    Apple Updates iTunes to Version 9, Introduces iTunes LP

    Actually, Apple is in the process of building several new data centers. People have been scratching their heads as to the reason why Apple needs these new and extremely large centers, ones that dwarf it's existing ones and most others as well? For example, the first will be built in North...

    Apple Updates iTunes to Version 9, Introduces iTunes LP

    One thing that some were speculating on didn't happen - lossless! People in the know have stated that Apple was going to re-introduce their 'apple lossless' compression at some point, but I guess we will have to wait a wee bit longer. Like you, I thought that the new iTunes 9 was the really big...

    Windows XP Usage Continues to Drop

    XP Personally, I still like XP and I can't see me ever really getting rid of it. I guess I'm just the old sentimental type.

    Building a Hackintosh with Snow Leopard for $900

    I'm so tempted!!!!!! I'm so damn tempted! I've considered building a Hackintosh for sometime, but since I don't have your brain and aptitude for such things Rob, I will probably continue to pay through the nose for Apple's sexy machines. Honestly, even though you can get more hardware for...

    How Long Should Developers Support their Software?

    I agree with Kougar. With major OS updates dates getting shorter, the line of incompatibilities naturally grows longer with each release. If things changed radically every month or two it would be hard to take, but you have to accept some problems with each new upgrade. After reading Ars...

    Ars Technica's Exhaustive Look at OS X "Snow Leopard"

    Snow Leopard Review... Yes, I have to say I was impressed by the notion of doing a 23-page review. I'm reading though it now, piece by piece and you know what? It's bloody fascinating! When you do a page, here and there, it's not only easy to do, but it's a dang-tooting good read to...

    Apple's Mac OS X "Snow Leopard" to be Available this Friday

    OS X Snow Leopard Speed Increases Actually, your quite correct Rob about the speed increases. I know of several people who have taken some of the latest betas for a prolong ride, and they have report that the speed increases are not only noticeable, but downrigh dramatic, and in some cases -...

    id Software Considering Skipping Rage for Linux?

    I agree with 2tired2tango I agree with 2Tire2Tango, there simply isn't the market for too many top-notched games for any OS with such a small home market share. Linux, like Windows, is used mostly by business users, who frankly don't need or want the ability to run games! Still, there are...

    iTunes Continues to Dominate Music Sales

    Your confused about Daniel... For starters, your a little confused about Daniel, it's not Daniel who is comparing anything with anything.... he's just reporting on what an employee wrote! He's simply quoting him, nothing more. Daniel just happens to be one of the biggest names in the blogging...

    iTunes Continues to Dominate Music Sales

    Physical discs have their place in..... Sure, physical discs have their place in..... the history books! Yes, physical discs have all that cool cover art, and liner notes, but soon, thanks to iTune's new 'Cocktail" feature, Apple will up that by providing all of those features and more...

    Disgruntled Enough with Apple to Move Back to the PC?

    Jason anti Apple blog post is TOTALLY WRONG! This is a long blog post, but it's worth it if you want to see it from a rather unique perspective. Jason lists five specific reasons that pushed him over the edge, which include destroying MP3 player innovation through anti-competitive practices...

    Is Firefox Becoming More Crash-Prone with Each Release?

    FireFox crashing? I'm not sure about Windows, but I have had trouble with FireFox crashing on OS X . I'm not sure what extension, but I recently installed Coolris, a fantastic add-on based on Snow Leopard's new 3D Transform open-source kit ( http://www.cooliris.com/product/ ) . It doesn't...

    Apple to open largest store in Boston...

    Tell that to Wall Street! Tell that to Wall Street! Useless - I don' think so, that's why Arstechnica, like others, including CNN, etc. have reported this info. I long thought that Techgage was rather narrow minded, and so, that is why I think it is useless for me to return to Techgage's...

    Apple to open largest store in Boston...

    Interesting thing about the Apple stores, besides the fact that they seem to be popping up like weeds, is the amazing profits they make. They easily beat Walmart, Best Buy, etc. on a per square foot basis. In fact, they handily even beat Tiffany's. Walmart is around $900 per square foot, but...

    Holographic Storage Nearing Availability, At 150GB Per Disc

    Just How Long Before..... I wonder just how long it will take before this technology trickles down to the rest of us poor folk; how long before it becomes affordable? I remember the first DVD players were well over $1,500 at first, but before long, well... you know what I mean. Even more...

    Apple Acquires Low-Power Chip Maker P.A. Semi

    Possibly to enhance Core OS X Technologies? Again, I have no idea what Apple is up to, but according to some it could be just trying to differentiate Apple made Macs from any clones, or as I said, to maybe make it difficult or next to impossible for clones to compete? Others think it may be...

    Apple Acquires Low-Power Chip Maker P.A. Semi

    What is Apple Up To - Hell if I know? Hell if I know what Apple is up to, but Steve just told a major newspaper that Apple has no desire to get rid of Intel. Apple has been the only company ever to change completely from one cpu to another successfully, not only once, but three times now! I am...

    Psystar Begins Shipping Apple "Open Computer"

    Bring on the Mac Clones! Personally, I am hoping that all this will make Apple do what it should have done all along ..... LICENSE OS X! People say that it would kill off Apple's offerings, but I say NO! Yes, it might kill off the Mini, but the high end will do just fine. If your into style...
