I bought two recently and, as someone else noted, I have not been blown away by the sound quality or “room-filling sound”. At $299 the didn’t break the bank. However, the lack of line-in for my vinyl record player still leaves me unhappy with the product overall. That clearly is designed to protect Apple Music subscriptions. Three out of a possible five stars, IMO.

An ATT rep intentionally and without my consent signed me up for their DirecTV service when I called for a phone upgrade. I literally said "No" a couple times. I was charged over $50 twice and spent hours on the phone to be removed rom the service a…

I might hold off on buying a 2020 Mac mini and go for a discounted 2018. The lack of a CPU upgrade this year may mean there's an ARM mini coming out next year!

Great actor! Loved in True Detective, Moonlight, and House of Cards! Can't wait.

The glass will be Liquidmetal, aka bulk metallic glass. Liquidmetal, I believe is structurally a glass, not a metal. Close attention to the patents will tell you that Apple has been working on getting LM into a production process where it can be mas…

I ordered two within minutes of my daily early morning check of AI. So easy with Apple Pay and Touch ID. One for me and one for gift, unless I see off-the-charts Ebay prices. In that case I'll be more than happy to let them go-offering overnight shi…

Connect is a joke. it doesn't connect you to anything. The way I think it was supposed to work is that you curate a list of artists that you follow. When you go to Connect you can easily scroll through your list of artists and get playlists that has…

Best Buy announced a blowout $200 off the Watch Stainless Steel. I picked one up a couple days ago-Black Stainless Steel 42mm. I knew such a sale might indicate that a new Watch may be coming soon and stock would be clearing out. I also knew there …
