Apple: Our advertising is clearly bull@#$%. Clearly.

Ah, Apple. Gizmodo points out that Apple’s defense to the recent pulling of the deceptive iPhone ad in the UK prompted the following statement from everyone’s favorite company: “No reasonable person in Plaintiff's position could have reasonably relied on or misunderstood Apple's statements as...

Apple forced to drop iPhone ad in the UK

So I got a bunch of email about this this morning, and it’s certainly noteworthy. I’m an iPhone user and I have to say, I really love the device despite some obvious flaws, but it’s also about a million times better than the competition, so it’s unclear what my problem is. Anyway, in usual Apple fashion...

Please Fix The iPhone … Dot Com

The iPhone is just the most curious mix technology, and anyone who tells you it’s perfect should be immediately suspect. Some of the iPhone is laugh out loud perfect. But much of it is just deeply flawed, with no fix in sight. I love the iPhone, I hate the iPhone. It’s the ultimate Apple product, in...

Why Opera Didn't Make It on the iPhone

Wow. You know, Apple really is kind of a shoddy company is many ways. But Opera really takes the cake. I’m asked frequently by the browser company’s 17 PC users (most of whom appear to live in Scandinavia) why I never write about the product, and the reason is simple. It’s irrelevant on the PC (but not...

Apple is evil, part 227

This one kind of speaks for itself: Opera Mini for iPhone sits on sidelines due to App Store rules A professionally-developed alternative to Apple's Safari web browser for iPhone already exists in Opera Software's labs; Apple's guidelines for App Store submissions, however, are allegedly...

Spreading FUD, Apple Style

Apple reported another blockbuster quarter yesterday (my WinInfo article will be up later today), primarily on the strength of first-wave iPhone 3G sales. But the company also took the rare step of including CEO Steve Jobs on its earnings conference call, and the mercurial aesthete used the opportunity...

Steve Wozniak on the iPod

The Telegraph’s recent interview with Steve Wozniak has gotten a lot of play online today for some reason. I don’t see what the big deal is. He predicts the imminent death of the company's most popular product, the iPod. "The iPod has sort of lived a long life at number one," he says. "Things...

iPhone 3G does not capture 17 percent of the US market for cell phones

It’s interesting to me how people contort Apple market share figures to make them look better than they really are. If Apple’s market share of, say, the PC industry isn’t high enough, we’ll just use the US figures without mentioning that’s what happening. Still not high enough? We’ll use a nebulous and...

Hey, Apple and Steve Jobs, Really, What's With The Deceptive Advertising?

LOL. Talk about not being on the ball. You’re just now wondering what’s up with Apple’s deceptive advertising ? Geesh. AT&T 3G iPhone users are using much less bandwidth than AT&T expected because AT&T's 3G iPhone service is so crappy. Dan recently got a software update from Apple that...

Credit where credit is due (Apple edition)

So I'm quick to point out flaws in Apple products, mostly because the rest of the world, including the tech and mainstream press, just gives them a pass. I have, however, had a few notable and positive Apple-related experiences in recent days. And they bear some discussion. iPhone 2.1 software update...
