They need to make a statement on this.

These deals cost a lot from the rights holders so that 30% to Apple would really mean something like 50% less content on a costed basis.

We the user lose out with this overhead.

Insanity law of patents.

We knew a few of the faithful were a bit over enthusiastic but methinks the patent off should now be certified insane.

Life's budgeting rules being patented are certainly 1984!

Ultrakill courtesy of Apple?

Could it be that Ultrabooks chipsets were priced extortionately high in order to keep Apple happy?

Damned if you do, damned if you don't so they say.

My brain needs a wash.

memo ........"must visit an Apple store soon"

Lobbyists?

Competitive corporate pressure at work maybe.

Anyone thinking the same?

iPhone - free bumpers, now what about the free Flak Jacket?

Smartphone customers are the bystanders now getting stung.

Sadly it is what happens with search and destroy tactics.

Microsoft is fair?

It's all seems to be marketing tactics/words from Apple.

Obviously, slavery is deemed fair if both sides know what they are getting!

Were Apple's court cases just used to train their fans?

One can't help think that most of their swipey rectangular court cases were to emphasise that everything else was 'not an iPhone'.

One just can't rest on ones laurels when it comes to persuading jou public into parting with 1000 bucks.

With $100 billion in the bank it thus sounds quite a squeal.

$5 dollar chips are always tempting,

With the iPhone 4 essentially being a $5 chipset the only things stopping Apple here is being going backwards.

However with the new Final Cut Pro X being a simpler edition of Final Cut Pro it is possible.

And consumer needs are certainly less than professionals.

Google is looking Sheepish.

The problem with open source is that it is the user who wins, not the corporates wanting all your money.

The future for them is Windows and IOS where users are much easier to fleece.

I call bullshit!

Yet there was no real need to cull the old iPhone Siri which worked better according to Woz.

Apple certainly likes it's customers to upgrade as often as they can.

It is easy to ague that in classic vulture fund style Apple are removing money from the economy in order to benefit from the thus caused Apple recession. By being the biggest they are thus the most disruptive recession causing corporate in existance.

Oops Woz, what have you done

The Apple taliban will be after you now.

Muller ignores the spice

What is obvious about these shrills is that they obscure the comedic nature of these patents

.

Paid shrill comes to mind when one looks beneath the patent surface and sees a plot suitable for a Black Adder sketch.

329ppi is too high to be useful

They really needed to enlarge the screen to 5" give usable justice to the 720p.

High ppi is for dummies.

Camera - guess what.

Is it the number one DIY porn TV?

They supply good stuff at decent cost.

I don;t see what good it does condemning those that rip us off less.

It's like saying 'let Intel have a full 100% so they can overprice way more'.

Is this the first time that Apple money actually gets to stay in the UK!

At least until the footballers all fly in from Monaco?

Not bothered!

Obviously the feature is specially designed to appeal to iDevice owner's

If you can't beat them, join them so just maybe it is a tribute device.

Intel's worst decision ever......

.....was to limit the Atom netbooks to 1024 x 600 10.1" screens.

If a cheap $250 1kg 11.6" Netbook wit HD, HDMI and a full 1280 x 768 screen had exisited would so many have bought the iPad?

And now there is the Fusion to eclipse the Atom with that above.

In a walled garden there is mainly grass.

and freetard stuff like VLC and Firefox may well get classified as malware.

40% battery loss goes to only 11% importance - Anything goes then?

If Apple can get away with removing the battery saving 2G setting one wonders what future sacrifices owners will be giving their blessing to.

Similar audacious moves within the Android world have met with very short thrift.

A hundred conspiracy theories and no doubt many are true

It looks like Intel have a long term partnership with Apple as part of their survival plan.

Why sell anything to those who wish to supply the public with budget offerings?

It ain't worth it so by overpricing they may actually increase sales elsewhere!

It only affects a very small percentage ........ of planes

'Only a very small percentage'.

Tell it again Apple?

Totally pointless.

OK, with a 15" tablet 1080p might just cut it though optimum fur user's use is near 720p.

So I don't see the point of this apart from a dire need to be different/expensive,

Dumb, very niche technology as far as I'm concerned. Sounds cheap as chips if they are just reusing semi-redundant TV fabs though.

There's certainly profit in the barmy logic.

Slim sales tickled with a feather?

Considering so few are buying the bloat priced ultrabooks I find this hard to believe.

Are these people real.

Despite it stating that it curates all the APPS people seemingly buy it in order to complain.

A great buy for all who know what they are doing,

Retina bigger and even more Cretina?

Whilst those with the small screened iPhone 4 versions will buy into it, making it Retina is making it exclusive but pointless for most.

Obviously the low resolution screen needs improving but even a more likely 1600 X 1200 is just too much for that size.

cRetina logic means...

Its superior by far having a higher ppi count.

Welcome to the retina fan club,

Cinderalla shall go to the ball?

So will cinders get a big screen from your new prince charming CEO?

And will it upset Siri?

Rare but increasing?

Reading between the 'lets beat around the bush' lines it sounds me like they all might eventually explode.

play ball or we boot you out of our APP store.

Obviously the decided that the proprietary nature of most mobile systems means their future is on very insecure.

Playing ball gives their app development kit a better chance of survival.

Again it is a farce that we will need an APP for every single DRM laden web site.

Goodbye open web.

I imagine they know why.....

and there will never be a fix.

IOS 5 lost 33% standby life. It is a feature so get used to it.

Buy AMD

AMD ultra-books at $300+ are the way to go.

Intel really seem to not want the business.

Simple and lacking is ovviously what they want us to have.

Obviously the great duopoly's aim is to give us serious limitations so that their phones. tablets laptops are also a triple necessity.

Android gives the user what they want, not what those great corporates want us to have.

4th day of xmas.............

Obviously once you get to day 4 and don't have the iPhone it's at least 'four mockingbirds'.

The Dinosaur rocks?

I can't see the point of software engineers being forced to yabba dabba do because Apple say so.

iBuyers may claim happiness with their time warp trips to the stone age but the rest of the world still moves forward.

Love is blind

History will dictate that there was a major love affair with flawed, faulty, illogical and seriously restrictive designs.

However we will forever marvel at how he got away with it. Yes indeed, love is blind.

The web is banned.

Opera Mobile is banned on the iPhone so never expect a decent web where APPS are king.

A Disgo 6000 for that binman.

Why shove most of your money under Apple's ever growing mattress?

Why stick your head above the parapet?

The Dickheads should know better.

They have all of our data so why be stupidly visible?

Cack screen says it all

Considering the majority don't want a tiny screen it was just dead easy for gullible journalists to think bigger.

Yep, the screen is the same small fry so they assumed there was a bigger one.

Wishful thinking of course.

Galaxy S2 envy certainly shines from beyond the court rooms.

If enough of you speak bollocks you start to believe it,

That new Archos 8" was released last week at £200 in the UK (includes 20% sales tax).

It looks far more appealing than the Kindle Fire with its extra connectivity, functions and 1026x768 screen..

So have Archos decided to bankrupt themselves or is this idiotic mantra?

mAppleSoft

Can't have consumers choosing freely so Apple and Microsoft might well become known as mAppleSoft.

Crumbs folks.

Joyous crumbs but that's your lot with Apple.

Resellers should be glad to think of themselves as devotees.

With Apple there are plenty of people wiling to work for nothing.
