When Tim Cook invited us all to go to the hands on area and experience all of the new products for ourselves. I used the iPad mini, iPad 4, iMac, MacBook Pro — all of them. They weren’t behind glass, there were no PR people ready to grab them from me — I got to hold them and use them.
Do you understand what I’m saying Microsoft? If your product is ready for primetime, you’ll let people use them. If they suck balls, and you know they do, then you’ll protect them and hide them.
Some great shots.
It’s $20, but for me it’s worth it.
I had a few minutes to play around with the new iPad mini after Apple’s event this morning and wanted to give you a few quick thoughts. […]
Apple’s is expected to introduce a new smaller iPad during the event today. I am at the event and will bring you live coverage as it happens. Join me at 10:00 am PT. […]
Gary Ng:
A recent study commissioned by Research in Motion has concluded it is cheaper and safer for companies to keep using BlackBerrys despite the proliferation of the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) phenomenon.
RIM sucks balls. That’s why companies opened up the gates and let employees use whatever device they wanted. The other operating systems caught up and passed RIM and there is no turning back on that now.

The deteriorating relationship between Apple and Samsung that has seen the two companies reducing their component supply deals is now extending to LCD panels, with Samsung reportedly ending supplies of the panels to Apple next year.
After one month of availability, Apple’s iOS 6 has been installed on 60 percent of iDevices in the U.S. and Canada, and will possibly see further growth with the expected debut of a 7.85-inch “iPad mini” on Tuesday.
Apple’s newest OS is over 60% and Android’s latest release is less than 2%. It’s great to be open and winning.
The agency said it has relied on RIM for eight years, but the company “can no longer meet the mobile technology needs of the agency.”It also said it analyzed Apple’s iOS-based devices and Google Inc’s Android operating system and concluded that, for the near term, Apple’s iPhone services offer the best technology for the agency because of Apple’s tight controls of the hardware platform and operating system.
Seriously, who’s surprised? They could have gone with Android, but it leaks passwords like a sieve.
There was once a time when the launch of a new Windows operating system was a huge deal for the technology departments in many businesses. Not anymore. Microsoft Corp’s release of Windows 8 on Friday is likely to be a non-event for most companies — and some experts say many may never adopt it.
Microsoft has lost the confidence of its customers — business and personal. You can’t release as much shit as they have over the last decade and expect your customers to keep forgiving you.

Android applications downloaded by as many as 185 million users can expose end users’ online banking and social networking credentials, e-mail and instant-messaging contents because the programs use inadequate encryption protections, computer scientists have found.
Of course, iOS doesn’t have this problem, so all of you Android owners that want to switch from the malware invested, security sucking Android can make the move any time.

“I think you’re going to see a trend where operators, starting in the West, begin to say, ‘We need a third ecosystem to really begin to happen. We really need to double down on it. We need to cause it to happen.’”
The the company’s strategy is to wait until carriers are tired of selling millions of iPhones and Android devices and force Nokia products on us. Yeah, that’ll work.
Some great new gear in AmpliTube 3.9.
The US firm had previously been ordered to place a notice to that effect – with a link to the original judgement – on its website and place other adverts in the Daily Mail, Financial Times, T3 Magazine and other publications to “correct the damaging impression” that Samsung was a copycat.The appeal judges decided not to overturn the decision on the basis that a related Apple design-rights battle in the German courts risked causing confusion in consumers’ minds.

We are announcing this morning an important development at Newsweek and The Daily Beast. Newsweek will transition to an all-digital format in early 2013. As part of this transition, the last print edition in the United States will be our Dec. 31 issue.
It is widely speculated that the Mountain View-based company will announce new Nexus smartphones and an updated version of its Android operating system.
Most companies don’t use the current version of Android, how will an updated version help?
This sums it up perfectly.
The New York Times has suspended Andrew Goldman for four weeks, according to the New York Observer, after the freelancer writer tweeted offensive comments in response to criticism of a piece he wrote. Phil Corbett, associate managing editor for standards at The New York Times, also reminded staff today that they should treat Twitter and Facebook as “public activities,” and that their behavior on social networking sites should be “appropriate for a Times journalist.”
I would just never last. Never.
That’s just classic.
In a rare product endorsement, Rowling proclaimed, “The MacBook Air changed my life.” She added, “I’ve written everywhere, including some very strange places.”
When’s the last time you heard anyone say, “That piece of shit Windows PC changed my life”?
The company reported third quarter net income on a GAAP basis of $597 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, and non-GAAP net income of $718 million, or $0.55 per diluted share.
