I have always loved to see how Apple describes itself in their PR documents, this is their latest version: Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store. Apple has reinvented the [...]
If you want more traffic, it seems, bashing any Apple product is the highway to web traffic wonderland. Now, here’s another one: Just How Bad is the iPad 2 Camera? WIRED asks via CNN: It seems impossible for Apple to put a decent camera into anything but the iPhone, and despite many hopes, both cameras [...]
Gotten this in my mail this morning and I thought it may benefit more people if I posted it here: Hi, I am going to Japan this coming 29th Mar in Saitama, Tokyo. I was thinking is it worthwhile to buy iPad 2 while I am in Japan. I saw what you wrote in your [...]

The hardware is sweet, iMovie for iPad makes sense, and GarrageBand for iPad is nothing short of awesome, what can I say other than “I want one too”? But I think the most important thing Steve has said at this event, was that PC is dead, since Steve Jobs Apple coined the term “Personal Computer”, [...]
My 2cents: 1. There is nothing wrong with paid content; there are people who like a free ride, and there are people who do not mind paying for content. FlipBoard is great, I believe I was among the first people in Shantou to use that app, but it is an RSS reader with a fancy [...]

Jean-Louis Gassée wrote in Monday Note: Even more important: profits. HP is the leading PC manufacturer, with quarterly revenues in the $10B range and 5% operating income. Apple makes only a third of HP’s PC dollar volume per quarter—but with an operating income in the 30% to 35% range. We’ll have numbers for the October-December [...]
