We're booked for July 17-20 travel in Canada. The timing couldn't be better. We also had good inexpensive coverage in Japan earlier this year; especially nice was no stomach acid over whether we might accidentally get hit with some "out-of-network"…

They also appear to have kicked Radio to the curb (kerb). I can still access the stations I carefully selected in "the good ol' days" of June, but only in Radio > "Recently played". I don't know how recent the playing has to be to prevent their b…

Shouldn't Car and Driver be giving the Apple iCar an award soon? We almost know that it might possibly become a reality. And > Automakers in Geneva cautious, 'concerned' about 'disruptive interloper' Apple :-)

Didn't work on my iPhone 5S on Wikipedia, my most-often-used site, for which my bookmark is the full desktop link. The "Desktop" link at the bottom of the Wikipedia home page did take me to Wikipedia's full site, and then after that, my bookmark alw…

Go to apple.com, search for Yosemite and select the Yosemite Preview article that should appear in the list, go to bottom of that page and look for the test drive link. You'll need to log in to the beta program with your original login info.

Initial download (started automatically after entering the redemption cert) failed almost immediately with (of course) no useful error message. Went to Purchases (had to relaunch App Store, it was wedged after failed dl) and restarted download. Watc…

Quote: If one coded an algorithm in Xcode using C, Objective-C, or Swift the compiled code would be identical. Ergo, Swift has the performance of C, period. Nonsense! Speed depends on optimizations that exist in the compiler (and even linker,…
