How about suing the state of Texas for not placing laws against distracted driving, the car company for not placing anti-collision technology in the car to prevent stupid people from slamming into the back of another car, the family of the driver fo…

We use several ports for engineering work. USB is highly used to connect to oscilloscopes, meters, JTAG emulators, etc. Many of these systems could use USBC with a hub, but sometimes visiting a customer, it is a pain to carry all these dongles, just…

Apple Pay worked today on a Chick-Fil-A store. Their salads and chicken are the best from the fast food industry. They also train their employees to be very respectful and professional. The company is highly community involved. For example, after …

The local elementary schools here had a mandate to use technology. Some grant got them a whole bunch of iPads. The grant did not include any training for the teachers (none of them owned an iPad) and no budget for software. Software was not consider…

I used a Roku at a Bed and Breakfast. It was very slow to change menus and Netflix app was very slow and cumbersome to browse movies. It worked best if you knew the name of the movie. Then we stayed at another bed and breakfast that had AppleTV. Wha…
