  • Meta CEO mocks Apple for 'sitting on' iPhone 20 years later despite doing the same with Fa...

    I do not trust the man. I don't like Zuckerberg's attitude toward privacy. I have been on Facebook since 2009. I have never given my phone number to them. I have never used anything that involves money. I have never paid them anything. I don't use Facebook for connecting to other apps or for logins, they don't need that information.

    I do not use it for news, that should be done by legitimate news organizations, that is why they are there. I also use ad blockers. I just use Facebook for staying connected with friends and groups that I like.

  • Music changed forever with Apple's iTunes Music Store 20 years ago

    I have not taken the bite of buying songs or subscribing to Apple Music. iTunes and Music are just players for me, and it could be better. I have put my CD music collection in my Mac & iPhone. I have 7,754 songs in my iPhone. Some of thees songs are over an hour long as I like to be able to hear an album in it's entirety without Music screwing it up. Music takes up 44.99 GB on my phone and 67.07 GB on my Mac. My music is bought and paid for.

  • Forty years of the Mac, the computer for the rest of us

    40 years ago, I waited for the 512k Mac in the fall of 1984 and dove in. Been a Mac user ever since and have had a lot of them. I have no desire to change.
    Because of the Mac I was able to build a Mac 9500 into a video editing machine in 1995, way ahead of the competition. Back then to rent an edit room was around $100 an hour. The room cost $100,000. Now, I could video edit at home. Work at home? No Problem.
    I find it hard to believe that I lived 30 years without one.

  • Blackmagic Camera on iOS App Store unlocks enhanced filmmaking controls

    To use the volume button for starting and stopping horizontal shooting, the app only allows you only to shoot with phone with the button on the bottom of the phone. The only rotates one way. With the volume button on the top all the information is upside down. Makes it easier to put you finger in the way. (May be because BM is from Australia?)
