Apple releases iOS 4.3.3 WebKit source, but stretches the spirit of the LGPL (TUAW.com)

May 9th 2011 10:01PM Guess what? No one but the geek tech press cares.

Microsoft wants buyers to 'do the math' and select a netbook over a MacBook Air (TUAW.com)

May 6th 2011 5:25PM It's twice as thick, heavier, has a worse CPU, slower bus, optical is a dead format for me so that's wasted space, worse GPU, doesn't support as much RAM.

So, yeah, I can't find a comparable netbook at any price.

Microsoft wants buyers to 'do the math' and select a netbook over a MacBook Air (TUAW.com)

May 6th 2011 4:54PM I used to have an HP netbook when that was the only game in town for tiny computers. It sucked. I was even SSD! It was so terribly slow that I couldn't even launch a browser without taking a nap. I would take an iPad any day over a terrible netbook.

Now I have an 11" Air and it is absolutely the best computer (not laptop, not netbook, but computer) I have ever owned. It's speedy, inexpensive (for the quality and for what you get), light, slim, can drive a 2560x1600 monitor, and gets fantastic battery life. There isn't a netbook on the market at any price that comes close to that.

Docks, transformers, computing cores and taking it all with you (TUAW.com)

May 5th 2011 10:45AM I imagine an iPhone with a Thunderbolt port as the primary device. But that it could somehow dock into an iMac or MacBook with an Intel CPU. They would share resources where appropriate, such as storage, user profiles, and so forth.

I just can't think of an elegant way it could dock to a laptop, and Apple wouldn't settle for anything less. For a desktop it's quite simple, you have a dock.

My dream device is an iPhone that I can dock to any compatible system via Thunderbolt and have my entire computer in my pocket without compromise.

Target Display Mode on new iMacs limited to Thunderbolt sources (updated) (TUAW.com)

May 3rd 2011 11:07AM Very lame if true. My dream setup is two 27" iMacs as displays connected to a Mac Pro, using xGrid for rendering.

Dashboard: Irrelevant in the age of iOS or gaining new life in Lion? (TUAW.com)

Apr 30th 2011 10:35PM If Apple allows iPhone apps to run as Dashboard widgets and vice versa now we are talking.

Four Android myths lazy analysts love (TUAW.com)

Apr 27th 2011 10:39AM Apple is one of the largest PC makers (traditional PCs like laptops and desktops). But pundits do the same thing they do with Android and lump Windows into one thing rather than individual PC manufacturers.

Apple slapped with federal lawsuit over location tracking (TUAW.com)

Apr 25th 2011 4:55PM Apple doesn't track your location any more than the manufacturer of a piece of paper in your pocket that you write your location on does.

The phone has the data, not Apple. Your computer has the data, not Apple.

Remember that Google search you just did? Google has your location, not Apple and not your phone.

South Park introduces the HUMANCENTiPad (TUAW.com)

Mozy releases iOS client (TUAW.com)

Apr 13th 2011 10:50AM Too bad their pricing is out of touch with reality and the competition. I was a Mozy customer until they screwed users over. I dropped them immediately and went to CrashPlan. It's unlimited and much faster. And their OS X client is actually stable.
