For anyone interested, there is an excellent book: ‘How Music Got Free by Stephen Witt’ that recounts the development of MP-3 and AAC audio compression at the Fraunhofer Institute in the 1980s. Turns out Philips put pressure on them to support MP-3 …

Apple Music is a wonderful service, delivering hi res content, but if you want to stream this hi res content to a high end audio system that will actually allow you to HEAR the hi res content, YOU CAN'T! Nearly four years after Apple upgraded its Ap…

Someone on the cleaning crew could be a plausible explanation for why it might have ended up later in Newark.

The killer product would, from my POV, be a high performance sound bar with Apple TV and FaceTime camera and microphone.

The other content consumption category with great spacial potential is live sports. I would predict that this will prove to be a big AVP demand driver and that it has been a key motivation for Apple's move into sports streaming rights. They are alre…

The Lightening cable works 100% with its positive lock design. If my succession of MacBooks is anything to go by, USB-C is a sometimes-connection. Truly second rate, mechanically speaking. I’m guessing Apple is completely focused on the end of dir…

30 million more subscribers, not subscriptions: 30 million Apple device owners buying services for the first time this quarter. 30 million new subscriptions would be inconsequential considering there are more than 1 billion discrete Apple customers…

On an aesthetic note: I had immediately ordered a midnight blue custom configuration, which looks terrific in marketing photos, despite warnings re fingerprints by those at the introduction. THEY WERE, OF COURSE, ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! I just went to the…

I had six HomePods but two were used on their own: one grey, one white. So I just bought one each grey (one of the last) and white (from Apple) and now have four pairs. They sound better than 2x when used in stereo. They are wonderful. I consider my…

The Anker Powerline+ II braided cable is much nicer, more durable and flexible and worth the extra $6. Mated with their new PowerPort III mini 30w charger you get the smallest, most elegant option for fast charging an iPhone. Anker just continues to…

Both are terrific. Absolutely the best ever and with no material differences beyond screen size and battery life. After a month with the Max, and after a year with the X, I feel the Max was the better choice for me. I have relatively small hands but…

I have FiOS (1 gigabit) and cut the cord primarily to unify and simplify control down to an Apple 4K TV remote and am extremely pleased with the results. However, in the above comparison service quality is not discussed and maybe the assumption is (…

Very nice, but live streaming via their Apple TV app is shockingly bad rendering the service, from my POV, pretty useless for those wishing to watch TV on a TV. With FiOS gigabit ethernet bandwidth via an Apple TV 4K, live streaming is unwatchable c…

Total Swiss watch Industry sales (2014) were $22 billion. That's everything from $50 Swatches to $1.7 million Richard Mille Felipe Massas and including Rolex at $4.5 billion. At $8.4 billion in first year sales Apple would be close to double Rol…

4K would seem an obvious upgrade considering Apple's demographics and availability in competing devices.

You bet, buffyzdead. I have filed 16 reports to Feedback Assistant since the first public El Capitan beta release on various issues found. I (and our systems administrator) also tried to get the Calendar issue resolved through Apple's phone support …
