These congressional hearings are mostly dog & pony shows created to give politicians a forum for advancing their own agendas, regardless of the stated purpose of the inquiry. Nothing ever gets solved, clarified, or narrowed down in scope or focu…

In other news ... the Tiny Violin company is seeing a huge surge in demand for their products.

Whether they head down a hierarchical or faceted classification scheme approach (I prefer the latter), Apple seriously needs to do something to make it easier to not only find, but to discover, apps in the App Store. The current app store is kind of…

I agree with Apple. It's going to happen, but it'll require some education, more-eyes-on-it scrutiny, and pull demand. By "pull" I mean that continuing along the current path with outdated methods creates an untenable impediment and gross inefficien…

Intel has plenty of challenges on its plate right now, but this is a simple faux pas no different than similar mistakes that eagle eyed movie nerds find quite often in multimillion dollar films. I’d bet that 99% of non techno nerds will not see anyt…

I agree with the EFF on this. This sounds more like a classification and categorization scheme that will streamline Google's ability to sell more tailored packages to their customers. The FLoCs sound like they are categories created by behavioral mo…

What a bunch of political grandstanding BS. There’s a big difference between Tim Cook saying that iPhones “could be” part of a voting simplification solution and suggesting that iPhones “should be” used for voting or that Apple has a solution in p…

In this case, feigning outrage by presenting a big raw number ($1 million!!!) is a red herring. The number of apps purchased from the App Store is a big number, so even tiny fractions of illegitimate bogus charges get amplified to result in a big nu…

This is a tough one because what constitutes "Pro" is as varied as the number of iPad users on Earth and what tasks these users perform on an iPad. The importance of product qualities like higher performance, better security, better manageability, b…

If the "piece of wall art with an integrated speaker" is a Billy Bass replica, I've got my credit card ready.

This one is a bit of a Pandora's box : " invitation for rules that could force social media platforms to host all customers regardless of their views" So ... this would seemingly include those whose views on social, ethical, sexual, moral, human rig…

Meaningless rehash of the same old Surface related pablum. The people have already spoken with their wallets. The sad part is that it's been 18+ months since the Surface Pro 7 hit the consumer market. Barring some massive markdowns that may push a …
