cpsro said: It’s always bothered me that “Load Remote Images” defaulted to Yes/On when configuring new accounts in Mail. For a company that more recently claimed to care about privacy, this seemed like a real boner of an error. Users had to r…

AT&T probably assigned their crack development team, responsible for the AT&T TV app, to the new version of the HBOMax app. (yes, that is sarcasm) AT&T -- "We've got the anti-Midas touch™"

j2fusion said: If it maintains the 20V specification then it would have to push 12 amps through the cable. That would require something like 14 gage wire to carry that kind of current. That means thick heavy cable unless they push the voltage…

LOL. If these clowns want to uphold the principles of privacy, they might want to start at home, by enacting a U.S. version of the GPDR, and preventing companies like Facebook from tracking users across the internet, or allowing the data mining indu…

The tax evasion angle may get the attention, and raise the hackles of average folks, but this is just as much about money laundering, illicit financing and other forms of dirty money. It's not just the IRS division that wants this, but also FinCEN. …

Jobs held the belief that "…customers don't know what they want until we've shown them." Then, in 2010, he said this: "Privacy means people know what they’re signing up for, in plain English, and repeatedly. That’s what it means. I’m an optimist, I…

I do my own maintenance and repairs on my own stuff, like cars, and generally support the principle of repairable goods. There is a lot of stuff that's disposable nowadays because consumers only look at price, not quality, and that discourages well…

Beats said: I wonder how Apple handled Beats? So many good people left Apple from that acquisition. Some weren’t engineers but powerful record execs. Jimmy Iovine for example ran Apple Music much better than that new guy. Apple Music went fro…

This is one instance where Apple's "eco-friendly"unbundling practice would have been very welcome. I have more than enough Lightning cables, Leave it out of the package and price the remote at $40. But, still very happy to see Apple listened to use…

Throw up a story first(!), think later. Such is the state of the tech media. Mostly predictable, often stale UEI is the venerable player in the space, and it would be great to see its remote make it to retail.

It's not dead, it's just resting. For any of these possibilities to materialize, two things needs to happen -- 1) Apple management need to recognize that the home is more than just a hobby, and that it has a glaring unexploited market, if not weakne…

It's funny how much attention this feature has attracted, when the ability to deny IDFA tracking has been part of iOS for a while, on a blanket level. What iOS 14.5 will bring are active prompts to have the user decide to opt in/out, for each app o…
