  • Long term review: Apple's AirPods are still the best wireless headphones around

    Pass. 
    I'm not interested for several reasons.
    First based on my experience with EarPods, I expect they will be hugely uncomfortable. 
    Second, based on EarPods I expect they won't stay in my ears.
    Now I can already hear people saying "you have to try them". No. I tried EarPods and they were uncomfortable. I tried EarPods with the wires cut off, and they still fell out. Maybe my ears aren't "typical" shape but EarPods were such a utter failure for me that I'm not going to drop a couple hundred on something the same size and shape that I'm absolutely convinced will not work. 
    The third reason is hygiene. Just a week or so ago I ran across an article on cleaning your AirPods. It showed close up pictures of all the nasty wax and crud that builds up inside them. No thanks. I'll keep using $10 wired earbuds that I can throw away every few months. They're good enough for when I'm working in the yard, working out, or whatever and when they get to be unsanitary, they're gone. When I want good audio quality I use my muff style noise cancelling earphones. 
    Your loss 😉

  • Loup Ventures imagines new Apple services like 'Mail+' or 'Stocks+'

    I find it laughable that they could come up with a use case for Maps+ but not Health+

    add a platform that can suggest "the best destination based on your desired outcome.”

    That’s LITERALLY already built in

  • Apple's removal of the HomeKit doorbell category is no cause for alarm

    You should be ashamed of yourself for that
