Holiday iPad buyers are the biggest suckers. Apple sells the most iPads around the holidays, despite the fact that a new iPad is just around the corner. I tried telling my fam not to buy, but its hard to not pass up the chance to get an iPad gifted to you. My stepmom, her sister, and my 2, 3, and 6 year old cousins

I haven't updated yet, but I think the iPad fb app was already leaps and bounds ahead of the iPhone app. The app's pretty snappy on the new iPad.

Yeah, but it's not exactly a fair comparison since the Macbook has been discontinued. By that logic, let's compare the MBP Retina to some random discontinued Asus.

If these are legit parts of the new iPhone, the leak is probably not significant enough to draw more attention to it by issuing a cease and desist; I get that a lot has been leaked, but we haven't actually seen a fully assembled phone. The parts are already out there so it'jurist ameliorate the leaks' effects if Apple

I think the media made a bigger deal about the new connector than actual consumers. There will be a cheap adapter for all those accessories people bought. The connector's getting long in the tooth, so you can't hold it against Apple for updating it at this point.

Yeah, that comment came off more angry than I intended. I'm just saying that I can't relate to the desire to chronicle my meals through facebook.

I would rather see baby pics or pet pics. I just don't find most food pics appetizing. Like that picture makes me feel nauseous. A meal's presentation doesn't translate to pictures, but that's just my opinion. I can handle the occasional food pic, but I get bothered when people do it daily.

I don't think its meant more to diss people who chronicle their meals with pictures than to diss any particular phone. But I agree that it's trying to be hilarious without actually being hilarious.

I agree, those people absolutely have every right to share most anything they want with people within their network. I'm not mad at those people, and I don't care to decide for them what they should post. However, it's within my right to unfriend them or remove mention of them from my newsfeed if I feel they're

Can't any smartphone company control another if they're infringing on a patent? I've read some comments on Gizmodo along the lines of Apple products will stop ruining Android users' lives when they cease to exist after Apple is found to have infringed on Samsung's patents. Clearly this isn't the case. Apple will do

I've unfriended people who incessantly posted picture of their food. Some I would just set to not show up on my newsfeed, but the repeat offenders just made me stop caring to be their friend. Are your friends in their 20s? Maybe its an age thing.

I'd say very few, since its only available on Jailbroken phones. The fact that it's painfully slow is probably why Apple wants to wait until LTE hits the iPhone before unlocking that feature.

The Wii. I just bought it when I heard you can use the Wiimote as a wand in the fifth Harry Potter game. That game sucked, and I realized after a few more games, that I wasn't much of a gamer. Gave it, and all the accessories (wiimotes, rockband and guitar hero instruments), to my friend.

Personally, I stopped trying to store everything when I hit 3TB. I started using iTunes as my main source for content almost 6 years ago, before TB hard drives were a thing, so I just kept adding more hard drives in a raid configuration. Now with over 3000 TV episodes and 140 movies, purchased from iTunes, I realize

I get why Apple portrays itself the way it does. Outside of court, Apple has shareholders to appease. So it sounds reasonable not to say we're losing sales. Frankly, I think its very difficult to even determine how the iPhone is losing sales. The iPhone consistently shows sales growth.

Huh? How does Apple control your Samsung?

I think it's only fair. Not too long ago, after they leaked the iPhone 4 pics, Gizmodo showed blatant anti-Apple fanboyism where every Apple article had a negative spin. Now the pendulums just swung to the other side.

You probably would've figured it out soon enough. I wasn't told the difference between the 2 color text bubble. I just concluded from the fact that iMessage is written in the text field for users with iMessage, and that those message sent as blue.

You're welcome.

The iPhone will exist in the future so referring, in the title, to potential upcoming features isn't extraneous. Analogies are not presumed to be extreme, it seems trivial to have to explain that.
