Have been waiting for geo-fencing in a thermostat and glad it's coming from Honeywell rather than Google-Nest, but curious if Honeywell will also include it in their iPad shaped Wi-Fi thermostats. I like the additional information that is displayed…

(1) Yayyy! I am building a new house this summer/fall and had been hoping Apple would enter the smart home business. Over the last few months, I have been researching what is currently available and nothing has really struck me as compelling or q…

It's a risk. I am glad to see Tim & Co. taking risks. I'm not sure this is the one I would pick, but Apple has to take risks if they want to continue to grow and continue to be on top. The silver lining of making this bet may be that in the e…

Two things: (1) It does appear that Nest is doing the responsible thing here. Hopefully it is because it is the right thing to do, but it could just as easily be driven by liability concerns. One lawsuit from a deadly fire where the smoke alarm …

Interesting ... I thought Samsung had said the S5 (which is no way sounds similar to 5S) would have a better exterior casing than it's predecessor. I would write this prediction off completely if it were not from Kuo. He's the only analyst who has…

I'm guessing "we still have a lot to cover" has multiple meanings. One of those meanings could be announcing coverage of China Mobile's 750 million customers. That's my longshot prediction.

Hmmm ... my 5s asks to join WiFi networks when I'm driving. Thought that wasn't supposed to happen with the M7 & iOS 7. Maybe I've got a bad M7. Anyone else experience this?

The better camera isn't a huge deal for me, but it tells me that Apple isn't pulling any punches with the iPad 5 & Mini 2. It gives them something else to differentiate and brag about in their marketing, and for that small percentage of users w…

I like Control Center, but WHY is Airplane Mode on Control Center and cannot be removed from it?! Turning Airplane Mode on disables Find My iPhone.

When I went to the Apple store to buy my 5s, I asked the sales guy generally about their stock levels. He said they had 5c's "coming out their ears" and they received "at most 20" gold 5s's. Based on the activation and sales data I think it's a pr…

Two things: (1) I have never felt the need for a "mayday" button with my iPad Mini. It just works and is intuitive so I don't see a need for this feature on an iPad. (2) Bezos' statement that Amazon will "make money when people use our devices,…
