Wow, Apple is acting like a real chipmaker with tick-tock faster-smaller development. That purchase of PA Semi is proving to have pretty substantial impacts for how Apple design new products. The intervening years have had people questioning its value, but these developments would be completely...

This man is literally the most evil person on earth

I'm a big Apple fan and I love the idea of the Chromebook. Chrome and Chromebooks is one field that Google are doing really well at and I support it 100%. I know that Apple will never make a laptop that is web browser only. Just like their iCloud apps aren't browser based but app based. Google...

Okay stop this. The trade dress wasn't for rounded rectangles, it was for a smart phone with a touchscreen dominated front with a metal rim with a rows of uniform coloured icons with a fixed functionality dock with et cetera AND an overall shape of a rectangle with rounded corners. Put together...

I'm not in the market for a new computer (just got a 15" Retina) but this works for me in a lot of ways. I do most of my work with Google Docs, web apps and CMSes, so a Chromebook has always had appeal for me and the way I use computers. A Chromebook with a nice body build and retina display...

I'm sure there are good reasons for it, but with weight such an issue a hard disk drive and CD drive are pretty redundant. It would be harder, and maybe Apple would be less constructive, but there has to be away to base it on a Retina 13" Macbook Pro or Macbook Air.

For me, and I think for a lot of casual gamers, to get that level of gameplay out of SimCity 4 required far too much engagement. I never liked The Sims, so maybe I'll hate SimCity, but everything I've seen so far I'm comfortable with. You have a small patch so that, just like the simulation...

Can you please explain how saved games would work in a networked, interdependent world of cities?

Around the world many big cities are comprised of lots of little local councils. Sydney, for instance, has Sydney City Council encapsulating the main CBD and some inner suburbs, with a population of less than 200,000. Greater Sydney is more like 4.7 million. I'll wait until I play it, but I...

I'm even more excited to try it after reading this. I think the reviewers are wanting something the game isn't made for. They're supposed to be small local councils, not entire cities in their own right. You'll also find that no city is without problems, especially if you design them like...

I hate apps that make you finish the page before scrolling (hello WSJ). I find it more comfortable to keep my eyes static - the top of the page - and scroll to keep my attention there. Anyway, previous commenters have it here. Samsung and Android left without inspiration are left with the same...

Looks like the Wii U will be successful after all. What a piss poor industry.

Whatever it ends up being, the iWatch will be very beautiful and "how did I ever live" useful. Definites will be a colour multi touch screen, wifi for Bonjour, and enough functionality to work by itself. You can dismiss out of hand security verification for your computer, vibration alerts, and...

Well, it's a good reason for organisations to consider safety and be more hygienic. Whether it's China, competitors or high school crackers the measures are the same.

Visually it looks atrocious but it's still better than Android.

It's a tablet for IT professionals and administrators. I can see the appeal for a distinct group of people, it's a great tool for work related use and it should exist and be available to buy. It's not a consumer device, however. The iPad remains the only "tablet" that offers a compelling...

White text black background make eyes go hurty hurty

Yes clearly any post suggesting useful things Apple products can do are paid PR. There are pieces written about useful things you can do on iPads and iPhones because there are a great many people who own these things, and a great many apps which allow people do to a wide variety of things. PS...

I wonder how long they can throw shit at a wall to see what sticks

Gross gross gross. There has been a question of this, moving through technological progress. It's one thing for a device to be as small and light and as unobtrusive as possible, and to have fewer devices doing more things, but it's quite another to do away with devices altogether. Our...
