wake up, publishers! it seems like they've been asleep for the past decade and fail to take heed to those that came before them whose businesses have been devastated by the digitalization of all media. despite lessons learned by the RIAA and those being learned by the MPAA, the publishing industry seems to insist that...

let's clear something up. it's very simple yet the mainstream media nor the bloggers seem to point this out and is resulting in the masses continuing to be misinformed, and worse, take inappropriate action: Foxconn is NOT owned, or in any way affiliated with Apple. they are an OEM manufacturer, hired by Apple (and many...

as we recently passed the second anniversary of the iPad's introduction to the world, some questions have arisen. here are my opinions on some of them. iPad is not a PC in the latest quarter, Canalys began computing their PC sales numbers with the iPad included. because of this, Apple became the number one...
