Re: Much like fusion power

Pilots relying on malware ridden Windows slabs, great.

Re: Cool

I suspect iPad lifespan is significantly longer than that of an iPhone due to not being tied to an airtime contract. I find mine very useful, and will probably replace it one day, but it isn't essential like a phone or a Mac.

Re: @Rik Myslewski - "peak Apple" retraction

...because it ruins the registers credibility, that's why. Apple have performed spectacularly well throughout this entire period. Eventually they will falter, but it just makes the Reg look pathetic, and we know that this is one of the few places where you can still find journalism.

Re: Not sensible

...and I thank God for it every day. I don't have to spend my spare time roleplay gaming!

Re: Lazy facts

Who cares? Is someone with a large collection of hand-painted Orc models keeping a spreadsheet?

Nice films though, aren't they? I could almost see the point...

Re: This largely explains

You just tap one of the cultists on the shoulder and they whip out their iPhone and charge your card. Even easier if you use your iTunes account. No queuing, no bullshit. Receipt gets emailed to you, you just walk off with you iDevice or whatever.

There is no step three, remember?

Re: Astouded!!

To spy on them you have to be able to spy on us as we all use the same technology. It's really simple. I'm amazed at the disbelief being expressed here, especially as this is a pretty tech literate audience. How was Bletchley Park right and this wrong?

Re: @AC Re: "and others are critical of Apple's changes."

As soon as you connect to the Internet,your security is fucked. Get a grip, at least with Apple you have some consumer rights because you paid for their services.

Re: pocket phablet problem

Not too clever at making money.

Re: Is that a phablet in your pocket?

It certainly out performed the iPhone, but it did distort somewhat. The whole thing twisted about its long axis. Apple were foolish to abandon stainless steel, the 4 and 4s can really take a licking.

Apple have really fucked up here.

Re: Thinning the herd

How is Apple similar, again?

Re: Emerging markets

Geeks aren't sophisticated enough to understand that, and astroturfers know only too well.

Re: lets look at this in another way..

iOS can do various things with BT, but Apple keep a tight rein on it to prevent in becoming a security issue. Apple also has a history of adopting the latest BT tech first.

Re: lets look at this in another way..

Have you heard of the Internet? That's what the i part of iPhone stands for! Fun fact, there.
