From a long article this morning on CNBC about foldable phones, specifically thinner models from the Chinese, and a thinner foldable in the pipeline from Samsung. The last sentence pretty much says it all... and that's before you consider Apple's al…

Once again, this speaks to the degree of contempt and assumption of idiocy that Trump, Inc has for his lobotomized followers. I have no doubt that everyone connected with this phone surely knew that it would take about a nanosecond to reveal that it…

Fools and their money. TACO just keeps turning his lemmings upside down and shaking whatever change might remain out of their pockets. And yeah, totally normal for a U.S. president's private company to jump into the mobile phone business when he's i…

To a degree, Apple is damned if it does, damned if it doesn't. While I have sympathy for developers whose businesses get upended when Apple Sherlocks their app's functionality into the OS, surely no developer could be unaware--24 years after Sherloc…

Is it just me (always possible!) or does this roundup make this year's WWDC seem more like "housekeeping" as opposed to some real reno work or getting new furniture? Not that any of the above is bad, not at all, lots of little welcome changes, but i…

Under the usual Apple hardware standards, yes it's a surprise. But with only 3 models of HomePod ever released, it makes sense to support them all, and doesn't screw over the early adopters of HomePod 1.

It appears your Boox screen is set to grayscale... at least I hope that's the case! Some actual color shots would be nice. But as my beloved Kindle Oasis battery dips below 90% capacity, and with Amazon innovation and QC on new Kindles seemingly i…

A metal microphone wouldn't mean much to them — it barely means much to me, and I'm nearly 40. I don't disagree with the gist of what you're saying, but you probably couldn't have chosen a worse example than the microphone. Big, radio-style mics ar…

I somehow missed the Gruber article when it came out, but just went back and read it. I can't say that I found it rude, per se, and in fact, the vast majority of it was just recounting 'facts on the ground" about which there is no dispute. However, …
