RE: Apple Reportedly Moving to Smaller iOS “Micro-Dock”
[quote author="Lee Dronick" date="1330158539"]I wonder if this rumor is coming out of that European ruling about standard chargers for phones.[/quote] No - it's coming out of nothing more substantial than the originating rumor site saying, "We’ve heard that Apple is getting ready to..." Thin evidence for the Mac Web to lose their collective…

RE: If Only Selling High Tech Were Easy
"Jim Dalrymple pointed this..." You might want to check your grammar *and* your attributions. :)

RE: Macworld|iWorld Drum Circle Brings the Tribe Together
[quote author="Dave Hamilton" date="1327996745"]I think Bryan’s communicating something in a way that’s not entirely clear to you, Shawn[/quote] Agreed. That's why I was asking for clarification of Bryan's statement. I appreciate you stepping in and giving your perspective.

RE: Macworld|iWorld Drum Circle Brings the Tribe Together
[quote author="Bryan Chaffin" date="1327990112"]Tilt away.[/quote] I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. I'm simply asking why you believe a drum circle couldn't have happened at previous Expos. Your sarcasm is misplaced and ridiculous, given the question.

RE: Macworld|iWorld Drum Circle Brings the Tribe Together
[quote author="Bryan Chaffin" date="1327987454"]Rightio, Shawn.[/quote] Ah...got it...you'd rather not answer any questions about your column. Fair enough. Confusing though. It was an honest question but you'd rather be sarcastic than answer them.

RE: Macworld|iWorld Drum Circle Brings the Tribe Together
[quote author="Bryan Chaffin" date="1327986571"]Maybe I should write a column explaining my thoughts, Shawn. Oh, wait. I did…[/quote] Cool. Can't wait to read it. Let me know when you've posted it. Oh...sorry...that was (pointless, unnecessary) sarcasm. You're saying *this* article explains/answers my question.... Yeah...you only…

RE: Macworld|iWorld Drum Circle Brings the Tribe Together
"This could never have happened at the old Macworld Expo, especially the one Apple was a part of." Why not? The same people put the show on, the same people cover the show, the same people attend...There's no reason why it couldn't have occurred in the past. Or are you intimating Apple wouldn't have allowed such a drum circle to occur?

RE: Target Confirms Plans For Apple Stores-Within-Stores
Reading comprehension fail. Target "confirmed" no such thing. Target said it will have 25 stores that will feature special displays of Apple product - a far cry from the store-within-a-store idea at Best Buy. Is there a reason why this wishful thinking from *every* media outlet has permeated this story? Why can't you get it right?

RE: Rumor Claims iPad 3 in Spring, iPad 4 this Fall
The real joke is supposedly reputable web sites like this one that keep "reporting" Digitimes stories as if they have any basis in fact.

RE: Apple is Now Forced to Build a 7-inch Tablet
[quote author="ibuck" date="1324676796"]“According to Chinese manufacturers, Apple is buying up 7.85” screens for this upcoming mini iPad.”[/quote] LOL I understand that some folks think a rumor is something to base facts on but it really isn't. It's even worse when you look at the rumor's source. I've been tracking rumors over at…
