  • I had a similar issue with Verizon DSL. Once I had signed the 1 year contract I noticed that I had less than half the promised 3 Mb/s connection speed. Repeated call finally gave me the answer I needed to hear - "The contract says up to> 3Mb/s" So the fact that I was getting barely 1Mb/s meant they had fulfilled the terms of the contract. I canceled immediately.

  • Yes, I admit that MobileMe's introduction was not what I had come to expect from Apple. I waited until the iPhone fever died down before I activated my account. What sort of problems are people still having with MobileMe today?

    An Apple History of Obsolescence
  • Given that the process is not as simple as with iTMS the Amazon MP3 store is not bad. I did not like the idea of installing yet another piece of software but ... the software installation was very quick ( I did this on Windows XP ). I'll stick to iTMS for now. The Amazon MP3 service catalog is extremely limited.

    Quality Doesn't Always Have Sex Appeal: How Much Should Apple Charge for Snow Leopard?
  • Apple and AT&T;are making more ( potential ) money on this new pricing structure. Apple drops $200 off the iPhone but AT&T;adds $10/month more to the service plan ( which is now 3G ). Over a 2 year service agreement AT&T;will be pulling in $240 more on those contracts. Assuming Apple fills the apps store with things people wants to buy ...

    Suicidal Microsoft?
  • What sort of support do these "hackintosh" users expect from Apple for any issues that they may encounter? Apple can safely ignore these people. They do NOT represent main stream computer users. Only computer geeks ( like myself ) have the knowledge and the time to spend the countless hours getting these things to work. Probably the same people who run Linux. NOTE: I have six computers in my home; two macs, two Windows XP, one Linux, and one FreeBSD.

  • I have on pair that I wear on occasion and I have been know to go months without wearing any. I have been ridiculed by my peers for my lack of fashion sense around this type of apparel.

  • I don't know anyone who wants to carry around 90 days worth of music and video with them. I agree with the author. The large capacity iPods are dead. Most people I see with iPods have a nano. I only know a handful or people with non-iPod MP3 payers and they are nut jobs who don't under stand the power of simple user interfaces. They would rather much around with folders structures and little fiddly knobs. I've used a Zune and I just don't get why anyone would buy that thing after using an iPod.

  • Hugmup, OS-X's UNIX underpinnings are what got me to switch from Windows and Linux. I started my engineering career working with HP-UX, SunOS and AIX.

    Where to Now for OS X?
  • Great article but I am happy enough with the changes in Leopard ( TimeMachine is the app that decided for me ) that I am not already clamoring for more.

  • I couldn't agree more. I bought my wife a Shuffle ( just for the heck of it ) when they first came out. She loved it. She still says that it was one of the best gifts I have ever given her. She used it while working around the house or exercising. Now she has a 2G iPod nano and a speaker system (with radio) and the Shuffle has been adopted by my six year old daughter. I recently traded in my 2G nano for a 3G nano with video and I found myself coming to the same conclusion about the Shuffle. Who needs it?
