"It's still early" is a frequent refrain when discussing the maturity of all things technology, but in the case of the mobile platform, the release of the iPhone 2.0/3G, can truly be said to be the Big Bang.
Am I the only one upset that when you buy a song on iTunes you don't get any of the info you used to get in a CD booklet, like the names of the producer and the session players? And I miss reading the lyrics as I hear a song for the first time.
Why does Congress hand out money to name buildings, bridges -- everything under the sun -- after its own living members? Until the 1960s, people had to die before they were memorialized in granite.
Tempted as I have been in the past year to snag an iPhone and switch teams, it will still be me and my BlackBerry. Why? Because I learned a few things about the iPhone the first time around.
Wouldn't it be great to work from home? You could come and go as you pleased; you'd always be available for your family; you could work in your bathro...
Should a public company have to tell its shareholders that its CEO has been diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening illness? In the case of Steve Jobs, a CEO who is arguably Apple's single most valuable asset, I think the answer is "yes."
There are tons of ways to embrace green these days; one of the often overlooked considerations is the longevity of our stuff. "Going green" or "being ...
There is just nothing special about the Netflix set-top box. Netflix basically owns the DVD rental by mail business, but in the realm of digital delivery it is just one player amongst others.
Apple releases new iPods almost faster than rabbits turn out offspring. New and improved tech is always good, but it risks leaving what customers bought a year ago in the dust.
Don't be an early Apple adapter, wait a few days. Though Apple and AT&T's faulty preparation for the iPhone 3G launch was mitigated somewhat by their personnel, who were amazing.
Most everyone racing to the software and hardware upgrades did get screwed. How can a brilliant company deliver such a bad experience? Are we just suckers to have not seen the debacle coming?
By incorporating 3G technology and GPS, and lowering the purchase price by 50%, Apple has radically altered the landscape of the mobile marketplace.
Aside from taking arsenic out their newest laptop, Apple has done next to nothing to reduce its environmental impact.
Next Friday morning the new iPhone 3G will go on sale at Apple and AT&T stores beginning at 8 am. While Apple's announcement made the new phone seem l...
Yes, you pointed out all the ways that the Bush administration has trampled on the constitution but where's the sizzle, Dennis?
A handheld device running Google's Android software would compare favorably to an iPhone. Some say that with Google behind it, it would be much, much better. So, why hasn't anyone jumped on the model?

Apple is not saying the economy is in a "Depression" but stating what every other economist is currently saying that our economy will not be growing any time soon, hence, "...may remain depressed for the foreseeable future."
As in:
Depress: Transitive Verb
1, to decrease the market value or marketability of
Amongst other similar definitions. It's crazy how moronically sensationalist the media is, even a site that has many great articles like the HP.
The problem is we have a windows based PC for a president. We need a Mac Pro by Apple president! Ron Paul would be a splendid choice. He doesn't lie about what FISA was really about (the protection of Democratic leaderships complicity with Bush and Cheny on illegal torture and wiretapping). When the Rethugs do it- it's wrong. When the Democrats do it- cover it up and rationalize it. Uhm Hmmm.
But despite the depression, the two guys in the commercials probably have crack showbiz managment teams to protect them and get them the megabuck deals. Enjoy those residuals, fellas. Because if the dollar gets any weaker you'll be getting paid in Euros.
I am curious as to waht word they should have used. I think the peanut gallery are seeing depressed and hearing depression and working themselves into a lather over nothing.
That's not what apple said and I am curious how else they should have said it.
What word should they have used?!? They should have used the word they did use. It is accurate.
And no, we do not read it as "Depression." When they say the various cited indicators are depressed, that conveys specific information ... information that is not cause for jubilation.
The only reason they'd need to have used a different word is if they wanted to spin (i.e., lie) about the economic environment and cheerlead vs inform.
Well, if Apple says it's true it must be. ^_^
This is well-meaning good natured snark, by the way. I
