RE: Apple Announces Foxconn Inspections
Yes, it is interesting that Apple seems to get all the heat here, while Foxconn is making products for many other tech companies too, including Microsoft. And Apple seems to be doing more to address the situation than any of Foxconn's other customers. (I'm sure Microsoft, et al love that Apple gets the brunt of this and is spearheading any…

RE: AT&T: Over 1 Million iPhone 4S Activations So Far
I pre-ordered mine on 10/8, Sat. morning, and it still hasn't shipped yet, so, yeah, demand must be very strong. I have to admit I didn't think it would be like this, given some of the ho-hum attitudes out there, but I think a lot of that came from iPhone 4 owners who rightly saw this as more of an incremental upgrade, except for Siri.…

I checked the Finder and saw 0 KB available. I cancelled the scan and watched as the available disk space in the Finder climbed north of 8GB. That was bizarre.…

RE: Apple MarComm VP Allison Johnson to Leave the Company
My guess is no one wants to say anything until Allison officially leaves Apple. And even then, Apple PR probably won't say anything, although I imagine Barker will be happy to talk then.

Nice 2001 reference, Substance.

RE: Apple Preps for Data Center Launch, Possible Expansion
Isn't this most likely for the Mac App Store? Those downloads are going to be much bigger than the ones for iOS, and Apple is hosting and distributing them, correct? Apple is likely planning to do more with cloud computing, but the Mac App Store seems like the main reason for this data center going online soon.

RE: Headphones Celebrate 70 Years of Comic Book Superheroes
The X-Men have not been around for 70 years. They've been around since the early 1960s.
