It must be frustrating for Apple. Here’s a company that’s supremely good at dealing with the psychology of the customer, but it’s up against a brick wall when it comes to competing with cable and satellite. To be sure, it’s clear now that customers will drop their cable or satellite subscription at the drop of…

“He has probably given me more help and more advice than just about anybody,” Mr. Benioff said in an interview with Bloomberg (see the interview below). “When I get in trouble, and I kind of get lost in my own vision, I’ve been fortunate to be able to go and see him. He’s been able…

With Mr. Jobs being among the most famous of CEOs running what is now the world’s second most valuable company (or most valuable, depending on the day), the health issues that resulted in him taking that leave of absence have been closely watched by both the Mac (and iOS) Web and by the mainstream media—Wall…

Noted patent commentator Florian Mueller first spotted the evidence, which was filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in response to a motion for a preliminary injunction filed by Apple Inc in July. Apple is asserting that several of Samsung’s Android devices infringe on a design patent that Apple owns…

Are we surprised over this? In a word: No. Was there any logic to it all? Of course not. How, in an environment where S&P downgrades treasury bonds and the next day the market tanks with the only thing selling being treasury bonds can there be any logic? How, in a market where the Fed…

Pretty scary right? Being an AAPL watcher, and a lover of roller coasters, seeing the stock whipsaw nearly 14.75 points, from a low of $353.02 to a high of $367.77 today can be both exhilarating and panic inducing, but in my opinion, it doesn’t mean a thing.All too often we get caught up in the heat…

It’s always interesting to see the current browser share statistics. The second chart is of the most interest to me: there are two declining browsers and two advancing browsers. Here’s the ars technical summary for July, 2011. Personally, I was not happy with Chrome’s installer leaving unwanted remnants when I tested it awhile back, and…

This is just too funny. It’s a story about how McDonalds is rolling out Wi-Fi in its restaurants and has provided a nice quick tip sheet for its customers on how to connect. Compare Windows XP and Vista instructions on the left to the Mac version on the right. I can just see customers thinking…

Many U.S. readers may not realize that Nokia was until quite recently the top smartphone maker in the world, and is still the top mobile handset manufacturer. Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android platform have swiftly surpassed Nokia in recent months in the smartphone market, a trend accelerated by Nokia dumping its own Symbian OS in…

Better yet, it’s based on Android 2.2, a version of Google’s platform that’s a couple of generations old. Never fear, though, because you can have your Android 2.2 device with a steel, 18-carat rose gold, or titanium finished case, and you can get it accented with rubber; calfskin, alligator, lizard or carbon leather trims. According…

Dave Hamilton: I’m here at WWDC with Ben Satterfield from 23Divide Software. Let’s start with the most recent thing and go backwards. You’ve been a kind of a serial entrepreneur — if the term applies. TestFlight. A very cool platform for both developers and anyone who is working with a developer testing an app. Ben…

Apple purchased the land in two transactions. In 2006, the company bought 50 acres off Wolfe Road, and in 2010, the company bought 98 adjacent acres from HP, giving Apple not quite 150 acres. Mr. Jobs told the Cupertino city council that his company wanted to take that space, increase the number of trees on…

As this is the last article in this series it seems only fitting that it be about an application that’s patterned after the device that started it all, the iPod. Back when it began, the iPod was a plastic and metal box about the size of a deck of playing cards, and back then it…

In a research note obtained by The Mac Observer, Mr. Wu told clients that Apple had reduced some of the production constraints on iPad shipments, and that the company’s manufacturers had successfully retooled and converted more production lines to making the iPad 2. The analyst’s sources said that Apple was still well shy of the…

Chart by The Mac Observer from data provided by Intermedia Right off the bat, we’re going to focus on two caveats: The first is that Intermedia claims to be the world’s largest Microsoft Exchange hosting provider with over 320,000 “premium hosted” corporate accounts, but this data is still limited to only its clients. The second…
