I showed up at 7am for the opening at the Gardens Mall Apple Store in Palm Beach Gardens Florida and it had a similar vibe, maybe slightly less than a dozen people by 8am, about 1/3 for pickups, the rest for demos like nyself. The experience of the…

In 2007, I was standing in line to get my first iPhone. It had a 3.5” screen and was primitive in comparison to what a smart phone is now but it looked like the future. It cost me $799 (over $1000 today as I write this in 2024). It lacked flexibi…

As a recently retired ICU physician, pulse oximetry is a useful tool whether it is an Apple Watch, another manufacturer such as a Masimo or a $30 knockoff. It was critical back when Covid-19 was more lethal for letting people know when it was time …

Great article. I also wonder if an Apple ring would include “old school cast-through” pulse oximetry and avoid the Masimo patents altogether. Maybe that is the reason Apple is not playing ball with them.

In retrospect, Apple’s foray into media- AppleTV, Sports, Arcade, AppleMusic seems like a masterplan of how to build the foundation for AVP.

agree Lmasanti and I appreciate that Apple is thinking about people with disabilities with this device.

Meet Tim Sweeney 2.0

The launch is reminding me of the initial skepticism greeting the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch launches. I suspect it will follow the trajectory of the watch, slow at first until Apple and users find the way (initially the watch was marked as perso…

The movie is 3 and 1/2 hours long so not just the prostate afflicted need BR breaks. It is a great film but it took my wife and I a three day weekend to watch it.

I suspect it is related to the US presidential election, specifically Trumps threats regarding tariffs (since the chips will be sent back to Taiwan and then reimported) and taxation.

This is so crazy, Canada is in the middle of a global organized crime car theft epidemic and the police have a major lead about how they are pulled off and they just drop the ball???! If lack the authority then liaison with the port authority and C…

Way to win the war Sweeney. Hope all the legal fees and loss of business was worth it.

Though some may disagree, but between an app store duopoly and online criminality (malware, fraudulent apps, fraudulent charges, pig-butchering scams, organized crime plotting etc etc), I suspect the latter is a bigger threat to consumers. I think …

No way Ive would have approved that cabinet if he was still at Apple.

I hope the EU is ready to track down all these little app stores for appropriate taxation. They may regret their decisions in this regard.

tmay said: I'd be surprised if the Huawei "chip" and Mate 60 are all that relevant to Apple's sales slowdown; Huawei is selling about a million a month of the Mate 60. It just isn't being produced in any volume, and ASML DUV shipments were bl…

I do find all the hype of LLM and generalist AI to be abit overdone. These processes require extensive computing processes to work and the only company who really is going to profit in the short term from that is Nvidia with their extortionate GPU …

No way this is going to happen because Peloton guves nothing of significant value to Apple.

Dear DOJ, here are some more important tech issues that the average American cares more about. After all if the duopoly of Visa/MC gets a pass (yeah we have a bit of a choice) why would the Android/iOS duopoly be any different? So here is the list…
