This article makes it clear what law Mt. Gox is accused of violating. What laws did the financial institutions break?

Not challenging you, just curious.

Google Hangouts was cool. I really like the iOS app. Also, Maps just keeps getting better and I don’t how Apple can ever catch up.

I agree with everyone who recommended a 13" Air. Wait for Haswell then max out the RAM and get the largest SSD you can afford.

Really, the best you can hope for is a Wii-like remote/controller or some sort of touch device that would ship with an Apple Television. They’re not going to make anything like a PS3 or Xbox controller.

This doesn’t require new hardware. They just need to open up the Apple TV to developers.

I recently read an interview with Musk where he expressed some interest in selling Tesla one day. He said an acquisition by another car company doesn’t make sense considering Tesla’s market value so it would likely be by a company outside the industry. The reporter asked about Apple and all he said was that they certainly had the cash.

Anyways, Tesla can’t do something like that until 2017 because the company needs to pay back some government loans.

Cars are way outside Apple’s expertise and may prove to be resource hog that harms their core business. I don’t think they want to go there, at least not anytime soon.

I think Nest has the right idea about home automation but that’s a super niche business.

It’s one thing thing to say the technology never ends but, really, how often is a brand new hardware technology integrated in to our lives? The most recent one for me was a tablet in the form of the iPad (but some people were using tablets long before), before that it was my first cellphone (the Moto RAZR). Beyond that there was my first laptop and my first desktop and smaller things like the walkman. That’s it. The microwave, the TV, the car, the fridge, etc. These were all mainstream before I was born.

Like maybe Google Glass will be a thing 5 years from now or maybe 30 years from now people will have butler robots or something. But I’m really straining to think of new stuff.

But we were talking about Apple PDAs and Apple Tablets before 1999.

I had mine since launch with no case. I’m also not very careful with it. It has a few scuffs, some light scratches on the glass part on the back, and some small chips on the chamfered edge. Still looks hot.

Obviously, Flash is a terrible technology.

That said, I think you’re overreacting. I could see losing respect for Mr. Topolsky if he supported the detainment of foreigners and sending them to internment camps or a similar awful thing, but being wrong about flash, well, not so much.

Apple needs a cheap unsubsidized phone for some huge emerging markets and other countries where phones aren’t typically subsidized.

But another potential market is teenagers, especially if the phone is more durable and comes in fun colours. Both of which are strongly rumoured.

I don’t think Apple ever intended for iPad 3 owners to upgrade to iPad 4, especially since the update came only 8 months after the release of the iPad 3.

They probably introduced the newer iPad to phase out the 30-pin connector.

I prefer Safari on the Mac but I use both pretty much equally.

Right now Safari seems to be going through a rough patch for me. It’s having that problem where the all the tabs will want to refresh every once in a while. Annoying. This happened before and they fixed it for a while so I assume they’ll fix it again with OS X 10.9.

TV is not on the way out, you’re in the minority when it comes to televisions. Most families prefer to watch TV together around a big screen in their living room.

And the future of TV is the point, OLED, 4K, streaming, it’s all part of the story. I think it’s worth telling.
