There are frequently ads out there that are in bad taste, miss the mark, are way too entertaining, or make light of a condition that some people think should command a little more compassion. For example, Pepto Bismol ads show people dancing around …

Watched my neighbor bring her young daughter out to the school bus this morning. Attention and focus on child: 20%. Attention and focus on her iPhone: 80%. Self imposed obliviousness. Didn't even look up to wave at the kiddo as she was climbing up i…

There you have it. Kleenex stock takes a dive and no more wet pillows. As an engineer I would not be personally offended in the least if they showed a slide rule, HP41 calculator, pocket computer, or Swiss made 0.5 mm mechanical pencil in its pock…

I think Apple is sticking with the "Air" because it now has brand recognition to a greater degree than it conveys significant attributes of the device. It provides another pricing tier to offer up to customers. Will it cannibalize iPad Pro to some d…

It’s just a fricken ad. Most ads are totally stupid and exist completely detached from reality. Does Red Bull really make you fly? I don’t think so. Are unlimited data plans really unlimited? Nope. But I can tell you that I’d vastly prefer to watc…

Lightning saved us from the scourge of micro USB long enough to move to a better option. If that’s all it ever gets credit for, that’s good enough for me.

MisterKit said: iPad hardware has been more than enough for several generations now. If there is any breakthrough advance it lies with the software. Very true. Apple dropping iPadOS upgrades for a certain model influences my upgrade cycle …

At the end of April I brought a big bag of dead batteries to the household hazardous waste recycling center. As I was leaving something caught my eye. On top of a pallet of old monitors was a Bondi Blue iMac awaiting its ultimate fate. Doh! Unfortun…

Hey Siri ... Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?

Yes, Google’s golden goose is definitely their ads and search business, but as a technologist I’ve always kept an eye on what’s happening in their developer and labs focused areas. Yeah, they often end up throwing stuff into the dumpster but they al…

This sounds exactly like a ruse intended to gain sympathy from a jury who sees "AI" as some sort of bogeyman that can subvert a driver's ability to control the operation of their own vehicle. It's not like the media hasn't gone out of their way to p…
