Does anyone know what Apple would have owed Qualcom by now, under the old license for cellular chips? I doubt Apple would have settled unless it was heavily in their favor. So I figure Apple would have owed something like $12 Billion and settled for…

Don't know who owns the database? Lock it behind a password and you'll find out quickly. If nobody complains, delete it. There is a famous old story about TWA, their corporate computer system was bogged down and needed a multi-million dollar upgrad…

Yeesh at least clean the ear wax and gunge off your AirPods before taking a pic. That's sickening.

I went to Target today, mostly to see if they had Apple Pay operating yet. There was no Apple logo on the card terminal, but it had the NFC payment logo so what the hell, I tried it. It worked. The checker said, "Hey you're like the third person to …

I'm most concerned with durability of the silicone case. I have a silicone case for a 6s (just traded it in for an XS yay!) and the corners wore away over the years. I'll post a pic. On the lower left you can see one corner chipped away, mostly from…

fastasleep said: I did the Kickstarter for this last year and recently got my USB-C model anticipating upgrading my MBP this year. It’s still in the box as I haven’t upgraded yet, but looking forward to it. Even more so when I’m able to upgra…

I gave up on Dark Mode, there is too little contrast between browser tabs, I can never tell which one is active. They reduced contrast in Light Mode too but at least I can see the difference.

Is this ALL that's in this update? Yeah I saw one obscure bugfix, but this has to be the most minor 00.1 update ever.

That bit about saving the file is misleading and may result in data loss. Preview is one of Apple's new "self-saving" apps. If you close the app, it gives no warning to save, because it's already saved. Your file may be overwritten without notice. …

So this GPU is basically the same as the Radeon Pro 580 8GB in my 2017 27" iMac 5k?

Wow, just yesterday my doctor said I should get a BP monitor, so I looked on the Apple Store and they have the Nokia BPM+ for $129.95. It appears to be an update of the Withings BPM (no "plus") which you can find on Amazon for $99, as well as the ap…

Seems like the only time I ever take live photos is by accident, when I'm trying to take a pic of a document. Then I just get a pic of the page and my blurry leg and foot. Oops, delete pic, turn Live Photo off, try again. I don't know how it gets tu…

Yeah good luck with that. People are ditching cable because they are tired of paying for bundled sports packages with ESPN. Their subscribers are disappearing. When you see a network with an app that unbundles their channel, they are collapsing.

This is why you buy into the Apple ecosystem, new products retain their value over the long term. I was astonished at the prices on eBay when I sold my beat up, 3 year old iPhone 5s for $300. That was exactly what I paid for an original 2 year subsi…

There are surely safety solutions that are attractive and well designed enough to please even Jony Ive. I am visualizing etched translucent glass lines, horizontal about shoulder level, the full width across the glass panes. That would make a clearl…

Nice leveling grid trick, I didn't know there was a grid. A similar iOS photo trick: remember the Level, a secondary function of Compass.app. I put my iPhone on the table to make sure it's level, then I put it on a tripod & extension arm, then …

Wow just what I need for my desktop, an iPad as a really expensive second keyboard. What I need is official Apple system level support for the iPad as a pressure sensitive graphics tablet. I don't want to pay $70 a year for Astropad.

Wow that's a great photo, I forgot the LISA had cheat sheets that pulled out from under the keyboard. I was a LISA dealer back in the day. I published a huge binder of LISA marketing and technical details on my website, you can download it as a 204 …

Yesterday, I talked to Apple Support via the Support.app on my old iPhone 6s. I pre-ordered my 6s and got it on ship day so it's a little over 2 years old. I was just thinking of asking AT&T to unlock it and maybe sell it on eBay to pay for an u…
