This will raise the standard of beautiful to another level :(

I always thought the retina icon looked weird. Is it just me or does the retina icon itself

I don't think Android has brought much to the table either. They are playing catch up in terms of software. In the most strict sense, smartphones haven't innovated since the original iPhone.

As a kid I lways liked to experiment and make my own things. I would make a comic book and fold open the stapler and staple through the pages onto carpet. Then I would manually press down the metal spikes on the other side. I thought I was a genius.

You're getting pretty worked up over something that isn't your problem. I'm sure people are sad or angry if they drop their phone once and it breaks, but I dropped my phone on concrete twice and on ceramic tile 3 times and only the metal bezel and plastic surround has marks.

No one said they invented a chicklet keyboard. Even the before image shows a Samsung laptop with a chicklet keyboard, yet it obviously it doesn't look like an Apple laptop. A design is a sum of all the parts and to say tapered metal unibody laptops with a black edge to edge glass screen and chiclet keyboard is a…

It's not that bullshit. For tablets, there's less variety in design, but for laptops, there are so many ways to design one. Maybe it's because we've all gotten used to Apple designs or some of us aren't that attuned to designs, but these ultrabooks are clearly influenced by Apple. The lowered hinge, the edge to edge…

Look up "Gizmodo loves axes" or something on Google. I remember they kept posting articles about axes and I never knew they were serious or if they were advertisements

I remember reading that too but it's seems like a coincidence my clothes always become fit for a toddler after I dry them for a bit too long.

Technically YOU are putting your phone upside down. I put my iPhone in my pocket with the power button on top (ie. right side up) so the headphone cable doesn't break and I can also check the time easily. You just pull up the phone a bit and the time is rightside up on the top whereas it would be at the bottom doing…

I have a question. I recently went in a car with bluetooth and connected my iPhone to the speaker system. Is that considered Airplay or is it by definition something over Wifi? There was the Airplay icon where I could choose between my phone speakers and the car system so I was a bit confused.

I don't frequent them much either but you can see through the windows coffee shops are inhabited (literally) by students which is where a large part of Apple's growth comes from I would gather. Even seniors are turning to Macs judging from the people who go to Apple stores to get one on one help and people lugging…

Exactly. The name is has brand power already. It's not too heavily associated with big ass tables outside of tech circles and the name itself is pretty neat. Though it was really lame when they said the Surface was to "surface your passion, surface your creativity".

I think that is the "problem" with Apple. Make no mistake, I am an Apple user, or a reasonable fanboy, if you will, but Apple always wants to keep its designs minimalistic which prevents things like the kickstand from happening.

It's sad because just a few hundred years ago, they were the world's superpower, but they wanted to keep their "Chineseness" and made it hard to trade with them and they ended up like this.

Haha I'm Chinese-Canadian and I never knew of this word until today. Usually, when you have something hot being set down, you just grab a trivet instinctively so you never need to tell someone to get a "trivet". I've never had to cognitively connect a noun to "that thing that you put under hot objects". Come to think…

The problem is that the iPad has completely different UI elements like the side bar style in the notes app, and the popover things where as the iPhone has action sheets. Also, tablet apps are designed differently than phone apps.

Does anyone get bugged by the "Wish You Were Here Tag"? It sounds like a hipster/Tumblr catch phrase. It doesn't really mean anything and just sounds like you are trying to attach some sort of sensuality to some random thing you tag it with.

iOS's "more" button in the Music app had the three dots first. However, the music app is all you will ever see it used.

Yes! I'm paranoid enough accidentally liking something while Facebook stalking, but now all these sites have dozens of ways to post on different social networks. It's not even "those" sites either, sometimes you just don't want others to know what you are reading.
