An interesting observation as the BLU-RAY format ascends as the next optical storage technology.
Blu-ray Disc players from Samsung, Sony and Sharp are now the most expensive they have been all year, presumably because HD DVD’s exit from the high-def disc arena has removed some of Blu-ray’s pricing pressure.
Sure, there could be a relation to the […]
Apple strong-arms expo event organizers to get rid of inconvenient criticism from environmental group. News gets plastered all over the net. Talk about a counterproductive move from the cultists.
Environmentalist group Greenpeace was ousted from the current MaxExpo in London by event organizers who claimed they had received complaints about the exhibitor from unnamed sources.
Greenpeace purchased […]
CrApple ships high-end iPods with virus that conveniently only affects Windows. And instead of simply and unconditionally apologizing they blame Microsoft. Really mature.
Well, at least they bought into their own brainwashy adverts. As it stands, Apple can just keep dreaming of the day when its market share will be large enough to actually interest anyone […]
Greenpeace launches a much needed campaign against Apple and their egregious environmental policies that fly in the face of its public image as a conscientious corporation.
Apple products - sleek looks, amazing design, meticulous attention to detail. So what’s with the toxic chemicals inside, short life spans and allowing their products to be dumped in Asia?
None […]
So, Microsoft’s Zune is available … at least in reliable, non-blurry and plucky promo photos and has, to some degree, been fleshed out in technical specs. Just about everyone has written something on the topic. Most people hate it already. I guess that would be the same 75% who currently own an Apple-infested DAP and […]
Via Dapreview. This is the American market share report for digital audio players for Q2 2006. Now that is just plain unhealthy. And looking back, it seems only to get worse.
75.6% - Apple Computer
09.7% - Sandisk
04.3% - Creative Technologies
02.5% - Samsung
01.9% - Sony
06.0% - Other (iRiver, Cowon iAudio, RCA, Archos, etc)
Interestingly, according to Apple’s zealous […]
It would seem just about everyone has weighed in on the elusive DAP from Microsoft. Most have graciously offered their doomsday visions and flimsy reasons why Microsoft is bound to fail. Many have lamented that Microsoft didn’t have the good taste to limit itself to the PC scene and its peripherals. Yeah, it does ring […]
A new look at the life in “iPod City,” behind the gated world of Apple’s Chinese iPod factories. Now, of course, Apple is not the only company with this sort of business practise, but they must count as one of the larger corporations and as such are setting an unfortunate standard. Plus obviously they have […]
A new blog that uncovers the dismal state of Apple’s products. Most think the biggest gripe with Apple historically speaking is quirky, unproductive design or compatibility issues or indeed the recent issue of proprietary DRM and music file formats. But the thing that stands out over the years is really the quality control, or the […]
Surprised? And they just plain ignore local laws and guidelines as the Guardian reports. One could argue this is the same basic policy that Apple has always adhered to since the main gripe with their products has always been build quality first and foremost. So Apple basically postulates that their ridiculously expensive and featureless iPods […]
