  • CarPlay Ultra's first trial reveals a deeply integrated, Apple-like experience

    pixeltinipixeltini
    Great presentation!

    Multiple choice quiz: Car manufacturers are a) clueless about UI design, b) unmotivated, c) lazy, d) cheap, e) all of the above. I can understand why they are leery of handing over too much control to Apple, but it seems Apple's SDK is cooperative rather than absolute.

  • Apple sued for $5M for not recovering data after iPhone theft

    pixeltinipixeltini
    Things aren't adding up. A "tech expert" places his $5M business and personal life on one device without a means of recovering the date? What if the phone SSD fails, or he leaves it somewhere after a wild night of carousing? MMMM, fishy.

  • Bill Atkinson, pioneering early Apple engineer, dies at 74

    Sad news. Bill's enormous contributions will live on for years. We should all aspire to  such a legacy.

  • New Siri chief is replacing existing teams with Vision Pro staffers

    Hmm. Reorganizing in order to become more efficient and effective. What a concept. I wonder why government at every level doesn't do the same as private business.

  • Do not click on unexpected emails from DocuSign

    Was going to sell an automobile to Carvana. They made an acceptable offer, sent a driver to come get it for the usual inspection and payment. I had a title document ready to sign; and was prepared to take their money. Guy hands me an iPad and says, "here. sign all these documents using Docusign." I refused. "I have a marketable clear title, and here's the car. I'll sign the former, if you give me the money." He says, "I can't. Company requires this." "OK, skippit. I'll sell it elsewhere." Drive dude empathized, says he gets that a lot, and he warned the company. I'm not ever using Docusign. 

    Edit: fairly, the scammer here may have been Carvana itself. Betcha their documents they wanted signed were some sort of warranty, or waiver of my rights. Nope. You were given a right of inspection, and I need not make any representation other than the title document...that you are free to inspect and verify. 
    Good job.

    More and more, we encounter businesses waving an iPad and asking us to sign multiple lengthy documents. For a trusted doctor, no problem. For an insurance agent or just about any company, the company rep has two choices: 1) Forego the deal and go away now, or 2) Let me get my glasses and have a seat while I read, and understand, every word. Then I might sign.

  • Fears over tariff price rises prompted panic buying of iPhones

    pixeltinipixeltini
    "Fears over this or that" which eventually don't pan out. Market crashing? WW III starting? Climate going to roast (or is it freeze) us? The media is selling fear and the lemmings are eating it up.

  • Apple staring down $2 billion in total tariff costs in total before end of September

    A lot can happen in 60 days, but hey, you never want to miss a chance to fear monger.

  • Spotify raises its premium prices almost everywhere

    pixeltinipixeltini
    "Spotify" and "world class" do not belong in the same sentence. I switched to YouTube Premium over a year ago and couldn't be happier.

  • DOJ goes after US citizen for developing anti-ICE app

    pixeltinipixeltini
    Hmm, who could have guessed interfering with law enforcement efforts would be illegal? It's no different than attempting to block a police vehicle doing its duty to protect Americans against those who would do us harm. You know… gang members, drug dealers, convicted felons, cartel thugs, human traffickers, and so on.

    And let's call out the specious idea that Ice Block is no different than a radar detector or warning drivers of a speed trap. A speed zone warning is an alert to POTENTIAL law breakers. Ice Block interferes with police efforts to apprehend individuals who have ALREADY BROKEN AT LEAST ONE LAW. Do you see the difference? Well do you?

    Pardon me for using logic and pointing out the obvious. Now go ahead and hurl the Leftist phrases you learned from CNN.
