RE: Ruminations on Apple’s Second ‘Post-Jobs’ Era
[quote author="Sir Harry Flashman" date="1314325636"]We could have had that without the news of Steve. Had it dropped 20% or more then I would be concerned about how investors are taking the news.[/quote] Exactly the point, Sir Harry -- the market seems to see it as a non-event; or at least nothing to worry about in the near term. --Chuck

RE: Griffin Intros iPhone Controlled HELO TC Helicopter
If this works as advertised (and battery life is good), $50 is a great price point. The only comparable device I can think of is the Parrot A.R. Drone , which sells for around $300. I foresee major battles at the TMO Corporate Towers over who gets to review this baby. ;-) --Chuck

RE: AmpliTube iRig Puts a Recording Studio in Your Pocket
[quote author="archimedes" date="1309214282"]Hasn’t this been out for quite a while? Does iRig still have a crosstalk/feedback problem at high volume with headphones? How good is it for guitar vs. bass? How does iOS AmpliTube compare to the Mac version? Have you compared iRig/AmpliTube to AmpKit/AmpKit+? Or the Griffin GuitarConnect?…

RE: Track 2011 MD’s near-collision with Earth with Sky Safari
Regarding Sky Safari Pro's $29.99 price tag: The company points out that the Plus version of the app is also on sale for half price -- $6.99 -- and can track 2011 MD as well. The article will be updated shortly to reflect that.

RE: What the Pundits Are Missing About New MacBook Air
[quote]“1024 x 600 pixels per inch” WOW! That’s got to be one helluvah display to look at. Apple’s Retina Display™ has nothing on that! [/quote] Yikes -- I'd want one of those too! The typo police have been alerted -- thanks!

RE: Newer’s HDMI Adapter Gets Your Mac on the Big Screen
Typo zapped -- thanks, Intruder!

RE: Newer’s HDMI Adapter Gets Your Mac on the Big Screen
@geoduck That's a great point. I made a passing note of it in my post about this review on [url=http://randommaccess.com/2010/08/newer’s-hdmi-adapter-gives-your-mac-the-big-screen-treatment/]RandomMaccess[/url], but not in the review itself -- I'm glad you mentioned it!

RE: The iPad’s Killer App: It’s Not A Computer
[quote]Nice writeup.  I love how you pat yourself on the back for your accurate predictions and then miss something so obvious. [/quote] LOL Thanks for noticing! ;-)

RE: What Do I Care? Why Apple and Macworld No Longer Need Each Other
[quote author="Sir Harry Flashman" date="1264800414"]PS: I think that Apple still needs MacWorld, but not necessarily the MacWorld Expo[/quote] If you'll forgive my inappropriate abbreviation, I'll forgive your inter-capped "W." ;-) --Chuck

RE: Don’t shoot the messenger: Content, Not Delivery Marred Apple’s Last Keynote
[quote]Except for one thing. Steve Jobs isn’t going anywhere! That was the point of his open email before Macworld. So why mention anything about being without Steve Jobs? You are fueling the fire that says something that isn’t true. Please stop!!![/quote] My point was that Jobs will not be around forever, whether he leaves due to…
