Apple special event September 9 





My guess is that this will be a temporary hands-on press and media hall for post presentation event in the Flint Center.

They definitely don't want any prying eyes, cameras, nor sunlight for that matter, by the looks of things.

One prominent Note user not featured in Samsung's Love Notes campaign is FOSS Patents blogger Florian Mueller, who has reported using the phablet for some time. In April, Mueller noted that he cracked his Note 2 screen, resulting in a replacement that cost $400, roughly the same as what an unlocked Note 2 can be purchased for on Amazon.

In defense of tablets 





Apple said to prepare 12.9-inch iPad for early 2015





Intel hasn't been able to deliver their Broadwell chip, which has also affected upgrading the Mac Mini and having full upgrades for MacBooks, iMacs, really all of Apple's computer models.

First, Intel failed to deliver in early 2014 like they promised they would in 2013.

Now, they're saying Broadwell chips won't ship until 2015.

Apple has to find a way to replace Intel altogether.
