I had never seen a TV display that was OLED until a couple of weeks ago. An LG 50" display in 1080p was available for $2000. It was the best Hi-Def picture I have ever seen in my life. LCD and the best LED looks like utter crap in comparison. I like…

Since I live back from the street about 75 feet, there is a horrendous problem with reception, which was only cured by getting a microcell or whatever they call them. So for the last three or four years, I've been using wifi calling, and paying a mo…

I have been using the betas since Yosemite, and for me, it always starts great, and then Safari goes bonkers and crashes. Inexplicably slow. Then a new version comes along and everything's great for a few days.

I ran OS 7.5.5 on an old SE/30. It was no problem at all. It was only when the Internet came around that I had to lose the SE/30 because it didn't even have grayscale. I could see some pages in the browser, but any color and I was dead.

Also, me again, when is a major carrier -- or maybe a municipality? -- put up the Artemis system? Instead of four or five towers costing millions of dollars apiece, you have hundreds of little things the size of stereo speakers on the top of all the…

They all limit bandwidth. My original, Steve-Jobs negotiated AT&T Unlimited plan costs $50 plus financing for the phone. Never seen it slow down, even when I go over 6 or 7 GB a month.

I'm running 8.4. It's pretty ready.

Google AND Android. Yikes. Like their search engine. Not much else.

Yes, you know, if you really want to make a case for slavery, there is support you can find in the Bible. The issue of slavery is why the Southern Baptists split off from the Baptist Church. Later, many preachers were supporters of segregation. They…

It's not "dispelling" anything. Lots of Isaacson's book is okay. But these writers had something he didn't: a firsthand knowledge of Jobs at NeXT on, a real understanding of the industry as a whole, and of course, cooperation and interviews from the…

Taking a knife to a baby in "a Satanic ritual" is murder, and that's the law, and it's also proof that "religious rituals" do have some limitations. Is operating your business part of your religion? Weird. If you want to work in a church, even as ja…

A gay person coming to your store for a coca-cola is a matter for self-defense? Calm down, sestewart.

It's 50-50, hardly a "worst case". A worst case that happens 50% of the time.

So far, on the appleseed of 10.10.03, the photos in the cloud are fantastic.

Important though, in that they stay in the Republican party for garnish.

Oh, uh, yes, it was. The Senators who held it up were all from where geographic region? And what happened to the Sold Democrats South after the civil rights act was signed? And there's still the Solid South, but which party do they belong to? …

How about Apple helping to build public wi-fi? Lobbying for fiber optics to the house? Gigabit internet? Something that benefits users, and the public in general. Carl Icahn is old and he has more money than any human needs. The hell with him.
