The UK is not a democracy, sadly. UK governments though voted in by the public do very little for the public. Most elected politicians have no knowledge of the role they are taking on, many have never actually worked. They, therefore, have an idea…

Absolutely not, under any circumstances, generally. There might be circumstances under which a court order could request information but only with exceptionally good and strong reasons.

The donations are plainly to buy favours. With Trump being deeply unpleasant, unpredictable and dishonest, it is unsurprising everyone wants to curry favour, whether they are leaders of countries or leaders of businesses. It’s utterly disgusting b…

foregoneconclusion said: North Korea exists as it does because a decision was made during the Korean War, when the US interfered in another country’s affairs that it wanted to exclude itself from further interference. This seems entirely…

leighr said: The end of so called “fact checkers” is a welcome relief for true free speech. When one person, or group, has the power to decide what is ‘true’ or not, we are all in trouble. See exhibit one: China, or even worse, North Korea. W…

I don’t use Google as my default and I find the Google window which pops up on some websites a bit irritating. I also don’t buy from advertising within search results or any web pages. However, services such as Google Earth which are largely free…

Isn’t it time to grow up? Do we really need childish names for things (Google, as an example) and kids cartoon characters as screen savers?

It would be great if the tech companies could just get the basics to work, before embarking on all sorts of fancy nonsense. During the last week, almost every aspect of my home IT has failed to work at some point. I spend huge sums on having the b…

AI is, of course, not that at all. It is just a very costly, in terms of the finance and the environment, way of bigging up a higher level of data processing. It adds hugely annoying pop-ups, drop downs and utterly pointless interruptions. I am p…

Knowing what a band is going to play, in advance of the concert, seems (a) pointless and (b) counterproductive. When will the list be posted? Will it be before tickets go on sale? Will it mean bands will only play their best known and most popula…

I think it is a real shame that cinema as it used to be has died out. Our local cinema had one huge screen probably at least 100 feet (30 metres) across, in a very large space. We had a 19-inch (0.5 metre) tv. Now we have multiplexes with lots o…

Just pay the internet a visit and search ‘girl math’.

It is too early to have used much of iPad OS 18, but it does look great! AI, whether Apple’s version or anyone else’s, is just the next level of data crunching. It is certainly not artificial or any other sort of intelligence. It’s a great sales …

Re: Avon B7’s comment: why should Apple or any other company ask permission from a government or a body like the EU to create something for public use? Nothing would ever be created or invented because it would be decision making by committee and ta…

I’m at a loss to understand the EU position on any of its complaints. Apple certainly does not have any sort of a monopoly over any aspect of any of its product range. All tech companies offer different things in different regions. No tech compan…

It’s all nonsense, really. Just a few folks talking a value up and down and betting with someone else’s money on those rises and falls. A company is only worth its assets less its liabilities. In Apple’s case that is probably pretty good but in ma…

AI, as it currently is, is not artificial intelligence. It is just the next level of processing. Calling it AI is a great sales’ pitch, though.

As an Apple user for many years and having spent considerable sums on many bits of Apple kit, plus apps, music, books, tv programmes and films, plus Apple One, etc., with ancillary devices running on HomeKit, probably approaching six figures, I have…

Looking at the first part of AppleZulu’s original post on 9th April, I agree. AI is nothing special or different. It is just more data dishing out information, mostly wrong and purely to generate more revenue. It is not designed to be actually us…

The equation above gives a correct answer of 9: 1+2 (=3) *3 = 9. If you want an answer of 7, it should be stated as 1+ (2*3). In common usage is wanting to know the percentage of a number. As an example, what is 20% of 100? If you do this on a nor…
