Again....

Nothing but rumors.

Wold it be odd for Apple to have 2 major product releases in about a month or so and nothing again for 11 months?

Support at apple and the child labor in China must be booming to support and crank out these gadget.

Would make more sense to release the iPhone in the spring and iPad in the fall as the iPad is something people want to give for the holidays...

Typical Apple

Wrecking more than fixing.

Windows HD.

Windows Doors.

Windows Locked.

Windows Broken.

Compared to the rest of the Middle East, Israel is a technology leader by far. Just about every major company has some type of R&D facility in Israel.

Hmmm

Isn't this dimwit coming out with a book of 352 selfies this fall? [Soon to be in the $1 book bins a week later] Make these are "out takes".

Hmmm

RIP.

He wasn't really a nemesis by the end of Moonraker - unfortunately a real goofy ending of a film.

Oh.....

It must be fun being an Apple lawyer. Job for life [until apple breaks apart].

AV support

I think most AV software will cease to provide updates by around next July. I am assuming paid subscriptions won't let you go past that date [or barely].

Errrr

Wouldn't trust a site that resorts to pop-up windows for them to advertise [after you click on an "agree" or other button].

Errr

Except for the fact that some of them are just plain dumb, why would any celebrity have nude pictures of themselves stored in the cloud? Want to back up critical/personal information, use a USB key and shove it in a safe at a bank.

Dummies

Support for win XP dropped. Yes it goes against MS support policies but with around 25% of the computers out there using it...

Hmmmm. Maybe China is allowing any company that has weak network security. Obviously security companies like Symantec and Kaspersky is a problem for them.

hmmm

Interesting how I don't think the report mentioned the big three [and I don't suggest the best]: Kaspersky, Symantec/Norton, and McAfee.

Just remember, there is no verification of the report.

Errr

Apple QC at its worse.

Not a good year for Linux/Unix. This, OpenSSL and then a further bug in OpenSSL.

More sloppy programming from Google. Makes Apple look like the second best programmers in the world. :-)

Why on earth did Google spend money on the Android OS and then WASTE money on the Chrome OS. Android used by hundred of millions. Chrome OS - 5 people. Many, many, may applications for the Android. What is there for Chrome OS.

If I was given one of these Chrome paperweights, I'd format it and install Linux or even Windows 7.

Hmmm. And I was sure one was Meyers....

These totals depend on where they companies dies their "research" and how they did it.

Worldwide, Samsung has double the amount of smartphones out there compared to apple [ http://www.idc.com/prodserv/smartphone-market-share.jsp ] but Apple sells more in the US [ http://www.comscore.com/Insights/Press-Releases/2014/6/comScore-Reports-April-2014-US-Smartphone-Subscriber-Market-Share ] . If you do the math you will find that while the iPhone 5S sells more than any individual phone it is primarily because Samsung has too many models. Was actually surprised to see the iPhone 5C market share quite high considering it didn't get a good reception.

End of the world

Dell, HP, IBM/Lenovo, and others are rubbing there hands thinking about all the servers they will sell. Problem is than many larger places have Server 2003 in a VM. Where I work, I wouldn't be surprised if 75% of the servers are in VMs. Only thing maybe needed is a new host server or 2 to divide the extra horsepower needed.

No more

Unlike the old days [by coincidence when Jobs was alive], there was so much hype about a new Apple gadget. Every day [it seems] someone would released what they thought was accurate information [a good chunk was actually false]. Those days are gone. Now it's more like "A 5.5" screen. OK. What's for lunch?"

Errrrrr

Windows 8.1 "Update" [as named by Microsoft and not "Update 1" has been out for 3 months. Now you're showing off?

That said, in a month will be "Update 2" but only minor enhancements.

A possible "Update 3" may come out sometime early next year. Either that release or Windows 9 will feature a full Start menu - very similar to Window 7, but the right side of the menu ["Documents", "Pictures", etc.] will use Windows tiles.

5 out of how many?

So they spied on 5 Muslim-Americans. That is a tiny percentage of the 7500+ who were spied on. Who are the rest? Priests? Garbage collectors? WWE officials?

Hmmmm

I think the law in some form should be in place.

Which reminds me. If not passed, will people go around with contracts that state something like:

"On July 2 at 17:31:12 on Fleet Street in London, I Lindsey Lohan, knowingly posed nude for Justin Bieber. He may not post any pictures [or modifications there of] on the Internet, in an email, in a text message, on TV, in a book, in a newspaper, in a magazine or similar media without my knowledge."

Bieber's version: "I promise to do nothing - at any time - because I'm good at it."

Hmmmmm

Always knew Schmidt was a commie.

Maybe he'll ditch the workforce in the US and move their HQ to Havana. Cheap labour.

Surprising....

.... No one commented that Gmail is always up and running. They have the same problems there.

Errrr

Now I know why I don't use anything from Google [where possible]. Add to the fact that Google electronically reads your mail so it can place ads in the Gmail pages that uses key words that came from your mail.

And now this.

Remember when Google cheated by creating a Google+ account automatically when you created a Gmail account? Few didn't even know their life was showing up in a Google+ page.

Wait until they get the electrical bill. "Shut it down!"
