TheStreet.Com has an add interview with some hilarious tripe about how Apple/Jobs needs to “bite the bullet” and “license WindowsMobile or RIM’s Blackberry” code.
This guy is clearly in need of psychiatric help. Like now. I mean he’s either had a break, or he’s the most transparent and disingenuous shill since Rob [...]

Here we go again… yet another Patent Troll is going after someone — in this case Apple — for something that so obvious and in fact generic, you’d have to have to be from some other planet not to see that it’s not patentable.
At issue is something known as the “783″ patent, US Patent #7,321,783, [...]

Quite a big deal has been made of AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson’s diarrhea of the mouth this past week where he more or less pre-announced a 3G iPhone coming in 2008 from Apple. Cringely esitmates that this may well cost Apple over $1 billion in holiday sales, and that this was a calculated effort on the [...]

Apple posted a very nice “guided [...]

I was surprised that Apple dropped the price on the iPhone on Wendesday too. I was more surprised at the immediate nasty reaction from some bitter iPhone purchasers - it’s interesting that these early iPhone user feel so cheated. I think that there’s more here than meets the eye than just the $200 [...]

There was a “one more thing” that Steve Jobs didn’t announce today, which he should have: a iTunes Music Server (notice I didn’t say an AppleTV server… they already made one of them :). I am one of those crazy people who, like most media lovers, has ungodly amounts of Music, podcasts, [...]

Like just about everyone I was hitting the refresh button on my browser as today’s Apple Special Event unfolded. The refresh of the iPod line was a “given,” but i didn’t actually expect them to intro a WiFi-based iPod based on OSX today (even though it’s been rumoured for weeks).
I think this is [...]
