AppleInsider has patent-tracker Florian Mueller poking at the issue. Among the many patents over which Apple has sued the Taiwanese phonemaker is one referred to as the ‘263 patent, which covers…

And the Galaxy Tab does have some nice features that are generally overlooked. Judge for yourself. To add more heat, there’s a rumor that Barnes & Noble is coming out with yet another new version of its Nook tablet. As I’ve said before, competitors are going to keep driving a truck through Apple’s open barn…

“We are at a pivotal juncture in the Expo’s evolution. Adapting a quote spoken by Mr. Smith to Neo (Mr. Anderson) in The Matrix: “Macworld Expo is currently living two lives. In one of these lives, we seek for the Expo to reclaim its former glory, in size and scope, with a renewed focus on…

The Sun reported that young Charlie Le Quesne approached an iPhone 4S on display at the Tesco in Coventry and asked Siri, “How many people are there in the world?” Siri’s alleged response: “Shut the f*** up, you ugly t***.” Now, we all know that Siri can be a bit cheeky sometimes, but such a…

As it turns out, Apple’s detours from the road to simplicity are not limited to iCloud. As I continue to use OS X Lion and iOS 5, especially their sync-related features, I keep discovering more places where Apple has strayed.
