You're the Pundit: Are we going to see a touch iMac?

Sep 5th 2011 8:19PM (TUAW.com)
We'll see a touch screen iMac when iOS and OSX merge. Or at least some time during the transition when more of iOS' touch interface is ported.

I remember seeing a patent filed by apple a while back referencing an iMac that was on a movable stand. One that allowed it to be pulled down to rest like a tabletop. The patent was to have the system automatically convert from OSX to an iOS like touch interface.

You're the Pundit: Will iOS and OS X merge?

Sep 5th 2011 12:26PM (TUAW.com)
Wow, I really thought more people would think they were set to merge. With the additions to Lion ad the inevitable touch screen iMac, I figured the two were beginning the merge already.

Also, with so much of windows 8's touch interface looking like the Windows Phone UI I actually feel like Microsoft too is headed in the same direction (possibly even ahead of apple integration wise).

Apple setting up another data center in Silicon Valley

May 18th 2011 9:54PM (TUAW.com)
It's possible that its a testing facility. Some companies have smaller (in relation) data centers that they use for testing purposes. Compared to their new 500,000 sq ft data center, 11,000 sq ft is not very big.

Happy Meal Toys to Be Banned in NYC?

Apr 7th 2011 12:09PM (Slashfood)
where did these calorie counts come from? 1,090 for a happy meal? Shocking? Yes! Accurate? No!

Happy Meals start at 380 Calories for a 4pc nugget, apple slices and juice. Topping out at 700 calories for a Cheeseburger, fries and chocolate milk.

In fact, in 24 possible combinations about 40% actually qualify to be served with a toy. All the meals that did not qualify had fries with them, so maybe pushing the apple slices would be better.

Eliminate the salty fries, opt for apple peices, let McDonalds be.

Zynga, Ngmoco donating to Japan through iOS games

Mar 15th 2011 1:31PM (TUAW.com)
How come the tile of the article mentions NGMOCO yet its efforts are nowhere to be found in the article? I play alot of ngmoco games, and I havent seen anything yet in reguards to Japan

AT&T could lose 26% of iPhone customers, study suggests

Feb 10th 2011 1:21PM (TUAW.com)
Wow, where did this company get a churn rate of 15% that is very misinformed. Just last july at&t reported a churn rate of 1.29% down from 2009's 1.4%.

This survey show no real data, just people saying they would make the switch, I follow the industry and can tell you that no company is even close to 15%! Even Sprint is barely over 2%

The article above states the polled "churn rate" as fact, it is not, its a survey, and when real world numbers are close to 8% total churn across all 4 carriers, I have to write off this fantasy survey completly

Worried about More Oil Spills? Clean Your Plate.

Just what America needs! An atricle to tell people to eat MORE than they already do! Arent we the most obese country in the world?

Luckily it seems as if the AOL article talks more about trying to educate customers on what waste means, rather than telling them to overeat (just as wasteful [resulting in extra weght on the body] if you dont need the food)

iPad app dev sees 50% piracy rate

Aug 25th 2010 12:17AM (TUAW.com)
Yeah, that and the fact that some house hold have many iPhones/iPads. I know in my house a game purchased for iPhone typically ends up on at least 2 other devices . That's not piracy when apple allows software to be synced to any number of devices from up to 5 computers
