  • Official Apple images show new MacBook Pro with OLED 'Magic Toolbar,' Touch ID, new speaker design

    What a useless tool, i think apple is forgetting too much the pro user and especially that the path is more clear with yoga or surface, and that they have to merge the two OS. i don't really get it, for the first time in years i am thinking to switch to window. Too useless innovations but more than that not a very good innovations on performance, and if they put the amd graphic card inside... i will really buy window as my next laptop Dell is doing so good now. Why they want to be only phone maker? I know for the revenues, but it's stupid what they are doing, all the professionals i speak too are changing their mind on apple.. also it's so easy for them to produce the best compuetrs.. come on apple stop this nonsense like the mac pro how can you think to not upgrade the processor as for 3 years now? that is really crazy. And the imac how long do we have to wait to see a graphic card in the model 21.5 4k. And also why don't you make iphone and ipad pro a real computer running a real operative system with a finder.. you always ask yourself why tablets are selling less and less.. it is really all up to you bosses at apple .. stop concentrating only on numbers... we are tired of your greediness!!!!
    "What a useless tool"
    Yep.

    I have Dropbox app installed and am signed in and it doesn't show up as a Location in Files.
    Did you go to "Edit" in the top right corner? Some have to be toggled on. I had to toggle on Drive.

  • Samsung's fix for red-tinted Galaxy S8 screens forces users to self-calibrate

    Another one pre-defending Samsung from future criticism. Look how much mileage they can wring from 7-year-old antennagate! 
    Guys -- be nice! It's not like their phones could take down a plane or someth.... uhhh

  • Equifax to pay $700 million for breach of 140 million Americans' data

    That is not enough. That’s only $50 per American and this type of negligence can cause so much more financial issues for them. Then, the Americans that were impacted don’t even get the money.  
    Not $50 - it's 5 per person of this 140 million Americans.

    I had no idea you could (or would want to) check any computers.

  • Disney to end Netflix partnership, launch own streaming services

    So how long before every studio and network pulls their content from streaming services and creates their own streaming subscription service? People don't want to pay 50 different services for the fraction of the content on each service that customers care about. It's cable all over again. 

    What do you have now? Roughly the same cost with a wide array of user interfaces and no convenient way of "changing the channel". Just try to explain to Grandma how to use the 15 apps on your Apple TV when she just wants to watch the Price is Right every morning.


    That's what the TV app is for. As it adds more services, it becomes better. There are no channels, you can search for TPIR, and immediately start watching it without needing to know what app has to open.

  • Mazda gives in, to deliver Apple CarPlay support with 2018 Mazda6

    I won't buy another car without CarPlay - I've gotten way to used to it in my car, so much so that I don't like it when I'm in another car without it.

  • Apple Card is here, find out all you need to know

    ITGUYINSD said:
    I've got lots of credit cards that have apps on my iPhone, that I can lock, that I can make payments on my phone, see transactions,etc.

    I'm just not clear what is so special (except for a metal card) about this card?  In a nutshell, why would I want this card when I already have half a dozen other cards?
    Did you read the article? It does things that other cards don't do, and some they do.

  • Apple's AirPods achieve 98% customer satisfaction in new study

    xbit said:
    Having a noise-canceling feature is not a standard, stock feature, and not having such a feature doesn't make them not proper headphones. I've never owned a pair of headphones with a noise cancelation feature in my entire life. AirPods still my favorite headphones in my life.

    Sorry, I wasn't trying to suggest that ANC should be seen as a standard feature. Rather that I would be especially keen on any future AirPods that had the feature.

    if you've never tried headphones with ANC, try something like the Bose QC20i. I've yet to meet a person who hasn't been converted after use.
    I think you missed the point - some people don't want noise cancellation. I use my headphones at work and can't have cancellation, or I may miss something. Also, while outside, you really should be aware of your surroundings and this is a non-starter for me (to have cancellation).

  • How Steve Jobs saved Apple with the online Apple Store

    I had a PowerCC Mac. It was great and I even upgraded all sorts of stuff in it myself, including the processor (I am not a build-your-own-computer guy). Played Civ 2 on it for sooooo many hours :-P
