Is Apple a Religion?

Written by Daniel Memenode   
Friday, 30 July 2010 00:25

According to FOX News, for Apple followers it's a matter of faith. The article talks about Apple as a religion, even going as far as suggesting, albeit probably tongue in cheek, that they register as a religion, for tax benefits.

I think the article borders on just being plain silly, but it does build on a particular popular perception of Apple and Apple fans as mindlessly...

As reported in the news yesterday, WikiLeaks.org released thousands of secret documents pertaining to the War in Afghanistan. This site, started in 2006, has become a nuisance for the U.S. government and has grown to become a place where anyone can see these secret documents. Once posted, there is little that can be done to stop the documents from being spread around.

Many might cry that this is a disaster for our national security and, more importantly, that it is unpatriotic...

Most people who use their Facebook for more than just the random “who is online” feature know what Zynga is. And, while you might not know who the company is, you definitely know what properties they own. Chances are, you’ve been harassed with the, “sign up for FarmVille” or the “Jacob just saved a little duck on his farm!” That’s right. Zynga is the creator of properties such as FarmVille and Mafia Wars. And for many people, they are...

Code of Universe

According to some religious myths it is the "word of god" that created "the heaven and the earth". Ironically, there may be some truth to the idea that "words" have so much power.

There is a source code to the universe. Science is the process we use to reverse engineer it. Every new piece of the source code of the universe that we discover gives us that much more power over the universe. We can modify the source code to suit our needs and...

Yahoo! acquired AssociatedContent.com for $90-100 million two months ago. The acquisition allowed Yahoo! the opportunity to gain a significantly larger foothold on the web with a boost in 10% of the overall pages shown on the web. However, this purchase does pose a question: was it a good move for Yahoo! to purchase the site?

It all really depends. A recent NY Times article suggests that the acquisition...

As recently reported by Scientific American (according to OpEdNews) Pentagon's rapidly improving ability to fight wars with robots is "bringing about the most profound transformation of warfare since the advent of an atom bomb" and that "robots are pouring onto battlefields as if a new species of mechanotronic alien had just landed on our planet".

Thousands of unsatisfied customers complained and demanded, that Apple admit to their iPhone 4 antenna problems in the last few weeks. During the initial stages of production of the iPhone 4, designers pointed out the troubles that might arise because of the antenna, rumors are that Steve Jobs was oblivious to their concerns. The manufacturers were well aware of the defects and did not think it necessary to reveal it to the buyers. The reaction from Apple is certainly worth mentioning...

In a recent post here, I discussed whether Verizon really needed the iPhone because it now had Google and the Android on its side. Once again, it appears that Apple might have some bad news when it comes to the iPhone, only this time, it has to do with China instead of Verizon.
 

Does Verizon Actually Need the iPhone

Written by J. C. Donnelly   
Friday, 16 July 2010 03:19
For years, people have talked about how if Verizon got the iPhone, they would leave AT&T and sign with Verizon. But, because the iPhone was with AT&T, Verizon could not get their business.

Superphone

Every year marketing terms like "power at your finger tips" get a whole new meaning. A vivid illustration of just how powerful modern smartphones really are, is the comparison which finds an iPhone 4 from 2010 equally or more powerful than an iMac from ten years ago. This is probably why smartphones are recently being referred to as "superphones",

There was a...
