CVS has been using Apple Pay hereabouts for nearly two years. The article was a little strange, comparing apples (sorry) and paper bags: Apple Pay assumes at least one credit card account, so why attempt to draw a contrast between NFC payment metho…

Sorry, Apple. I use a leather wallet (though only the edges and exteriors of the card sleeves are leather). More to the point I don't want to use a card that would enhance the revenues of a company that admitted in federal court to lying to buyers o…

Wasn’t Tim Cook raked over the coals by a small group of irate shareholders several years back for going with solar power for data centers because it didn’t maximize short-term shareholder value? And didn’t he respond that if your values were differ…

According to Wikipedia: "Laika died within hours from overheating, possibly caused by a failure of the central R-7 sustainer to separate from the payload. The true cause and time of her death were not made public until 2002; instead, it was widely …

Was the Edsel photo meant to make a statement? Many people need bumpers for parallel parking.

If a strong enough quake hits the Cupertino area, I suspect the spaceship will simply lift off a few meters and hover.

"[T]here are times you may want to toggle it outside that schedule such as heading into a dark room or a movie theater." No, there aren't any times when you should be using a phone inside a movie theater. Get up, walk out into the lobby, and use yo…

I use Dashboard every day, and while the handwriting on the wall has been plain to see for years (of neglect by Apple, and developers who took the hint and worked on iOS apps instead), until Marzipan is a reality, I'll have to fumble with a phone or…

"Considering the mass-market appeal, we get Apple's choice but don't love it. This was ok in 2017, but in 2019 it should really be all USB-C and Thunderbolt 3. We've said it before, ripping off the USB-A band-aid is the only way to go, here" Couldn…

Why do I suspect that some part of the narrative is missing, for example that the perpetrators were working with pals in China who were sending them screens and phone backs from recycling plants to use in making IPhonr-Alice’s that could pass muster…

That is not the Taiwanese flag, but the flag of the Republic of China, which relocated to Taiwan after losing mainland China to the Communists in 1949. For a discussion, see the West Wing episode "A Change is Gonna Come" (first shown 12/01/2004).

As I believe I speculated here before, Apple may view WiFi access points and mesh systems as products with limited lifetimes, simply because of the adoption of 5G over the next few years. Why have additional infrastructure in the house if devices in…

With Macs, I've consistently bought new, with AppleCare, every three years so I'm covered (I hope) if something goes wrong. With iPhones, the two-year coverage under AppleCare+ appears designed to drive more frequent replacement than I find any reas…

Hope the Tech Den is made of steel or some extremely impact-resistant plastic, because I can foresee a lot of them being thrown at walls and flors by irate rugrats,

NASA and the Departments of Justice and Commerce have been banned from purchasing Huawei and ZTE hardware even if integrated into other vendors' systems, since 2013. I don't think that's the basic issue. This promotion by Chinese companies is prett…

Department of niggling and redundant trivia department: Kendall Square, like the MIT campus, is in Cambridge, Massachusetts, across the Charles River from Boston. But it's all part of the greater Boston area, a.k.a. the Hub of the Universe.
