Apple AirPods dominant, despite late entrance in 'totally wireless headphone' market segme...
cmert42 said:I've owned other Bluetooth earbuds in the past and didn't care for them. I've always found the latency while watching video to be unbearable. Can any AirPod owners explain their experience? Does they work well no matter what service is being used (iTunes, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, personal media, etc)? Can I use them to stream sound from an ATV so I don't keep my wife up when she falls asleep at 8:30? -

Mac Pro won't get China tariff waiver, says President Trump
SpamSandwich said:It’s unacceptable that Apple should be caught so unprepared when this President made his intentions very clear about trade with China before and after the election. Apple should’ve been making plans for alternative suppliers and had those plans in place by now. It’s just plain tunnel vision. -
Actual testing on AMD Vega GPU destined for iMac Pro shows significant speed gains over Nv...
gmgravytrain said:Woo-hoo, I can't wait for that iMac Pro to go on sale. In Apple terms, that has to be plenty of bang for the buck. If the Vega GPU comes anywhere's close to an NVIDIA 1080, I'll be more than satisfied. I honestly thought Apple had given up on building competitive desktops due to using cases with limited airflow and Apple's self-imposed low-energy requirements. -
Apple working on car windshield anti-glare system to protect driver from bright lights
This is the first sign of Apple not only interested in the hardware and construction of an automobile, but also the integration of driver and self-driving vehicle. Seems like a pointless patent even if it's purely defensive. By the time any of this tech will be produced, it will probably be illegal for human drivers to operate their vehicles on public roads. -
Absent an Apple Siri alternative, Alexa hardware family tops Amazon holiday sales charts
altivec88 said:freeper said:As Amazon refuses to sell Apple TV (or Chromecast) products that compete with the awful Fire TV, I am not certain that an Alexa competitor by Apple would have been sold by Amazon either.
missing out on a few million sales as anything to worry about either. Meanwhile, "smaller", more nimble companies are throwing stuff against the wall. I don't consider Echo to be a success. I have one and rarely use it. Others mostly feel the same way. Siri seems way behind until you measure how well other AI work. They're all fairly worthless right now so Apple
is only last in a race to weak AI right now. -

Apple Music overtakes Spotify in U.S. subscriber counts
nunzy said:What would happen if Apple banned Spotify from all of its devices?They might lose a couple of device sales, but probably not many. Apple has the ability. But do they have the nerve? -
Saudi journalist used Apple Watch to record own interrogation and execution, report says [...
lenn said:If CNN reported that water is wet I wouldn't believe them. CNN like most other American "news" outlets are in business to make money and create controversy so more people will watch them and their advertisers content. The Washington Post is the same.
